So I'm sure now

So I'm sure that all the Trumpers who clutched their pearls and gasped about alleged sexual inappropriateness by Sen. Al Franken, and insisted that nothing would do but for him to resign...

Will insist on exactly the same from President Spanky.

Yup. I'm absolutely 100% sure. Any minute now.

3. I don't recall the GOP speaking out against Franken, since the dems did all the dirty work for them.

The allegations against Franken were about non-consensual touching.
The allegations by Stormy against Trump were about consensual sex.

(And if they didn't react before to allegations about non-consensual touching by Trump, this will only confirm their trump's-world view that the others are lying, since Daniels clearly said this sex was consensual.)

this is about inappropriateness; in that sense they are parallel accusations.
