can end a career in a flash, and the propping up of donnie during the campaign and the refusal to really damage him now is appalling.

franken was destroyed in a few short weeks when the accusations and evidence against him regarding treatment of women was much weaker than the accusations and evidence against donnie -- never mind that donnie's got many more other scandals on top of that.

but donnie is allowed to continue....

if it were a democrat, they'd be running stories every day about how over his career is, how he's a lame duck, etc.
