Of all the senators that pushed for Franken to resign - has any of them ever expressed regrets?

[question everything]

We, Democrats, like to demand that our candidates "apologize." It started with Hillary's support of the Iraq war to Gillibrand's support of all things Republicans... Now Warren about her DNA test. Still waiting for Harris to explain her support of Civil Forfeiture..

And perhaps others that I did not observe.

Yes, if possible, I will not vote for any of these senators. Frankly, I think that the candidate should be someone with executive experience not a freshman senator.

1. Lotsa women on that list....

Just sayin..

10. Are women not allowed to apologize when

They make a mistake?

2. Is a freshman Senator running?

[CentralMass]

3. I seem to recall that Patrick Leahy from Vt expressed some regrets.

4. what's to regret?

He's not an evil or bad man, but he did something (multiple times) that is not conducive with being a United States Senator. He could have fought it, he chose not to. Folks need to let it go.

And the candidate is likely to be a Senator with the possible exception of Biden, so folks need to start working on getting over it now, because odds are it's going to be Warren, Harris, Sanders...or Biden as it stands right now.

12. Let him wait for the ethics committee?

Or let him decide on his own? Yes, all of these allegations would eventually have affected his effectiveness. But he should have reached this conclusion on his own.

14. he had the freedom to do either of those things

he chose to resign.

5. While we're at it, can we question

Bernie's votes against gun control and Russian sanctions? Or ... are we not going to because he is not a democrat yet?

6. It's time to do a frozen and let this shit go. nt

11. You can if you wish. Others will not. Nt

7. We do not know the whole story. I imagine not even close.

I do not know how people are so definitive on this subject when they do not have facts. And mostly ignore the ones we do have.

It doesn't makes sense to me. I see a lot of this in our political world. Maybe it is the internet that allows this approach of decision making without facts, or incorrect facts.

8. Like many other folks I was sorry to see Franken go, BUT

Franken has not chosen to give us his side of the story or defend himself in any way. Therefore I must conclude there is more to the story we haven't seen or heard. In the absence of a rebuttal by Franken I choose to forgive his senate colleagues and I presume they know more than me on this matter.

9. Which "freshman senator"?

Our candidates are establishing some pretty solid platforms. Just like the party is sitting on a platform I'm pretty happy with. I don't need apologies.

[Codeine]

13. I love the assumption that we all know

exactly what our Democratic senators know about what happened. I prefer to give that many Democratic women the benefit of the doubt and assume they had more facts than I.
