I LOVE AL FRANKEN!

[MoonRiver]

He's holding the Repukes feet to the fire!

[SamKnause]

1. He is on FIRE !!!!!!!!!!!

[mikeysnot]

2. Best Senator!

Shows when you fight for the vote, count ALL THE VOTES, WE win!

[madaboutharry]

3. Pointing a finger at naked emperors!

Al Franken is an American Hero!

[uponit7771]

4. +1, and calling session's out on his racism !!!

[KittyWampus]

5. He came very well prepared. With Cruz/Session's quotes. I was impressed.

[Dave Starsky]

16. He always comes prepared.

Al Franken is one seriously smart dude. He and Elizabeth Warren are probably the two smartest people on that hill.

[LittleGirl]

31. Yup! eom

[SamKnause]

6. Cruz just slinked in.

[Skidmore]

7. And needle-nose Cruz just skulkedin...nt

[Mike Nelson]

8. ME TOO...

...the Truth sounds so refreshing!

[JustAnotherGen]

9. Yes - he - is!

And he's tying them to Trump! And I love it!

[SharonAnn]

10. What a beautiful, righteous rant.

[doc03]

11. He didn't pull any punches he called them LIARS repeatedly

even Trump.

[bettyellen]

28. It's his trademark move!

[Initech]

12. Please, Al, run in 2020!!!!

[MoonRiver]

13. I think that's a good idea!

[Initech]

17. I would happily call Al Franken my president!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

32. Hell yes so would I.

Kirsten Gillibrand and Al, either one for either office.

[DesertRat]

14. He is the BEST!

[Gothmog]

15. I also love Senator Franken

[Hamlette]

18. what where when?

[MoonRiver]

19. Confirmation hearings, on CNN, MSNBC and C-SPAN

[Hamlette]

34. thanks

[ailsagirl]

20. Can we clone Franken??

[MissKat]

21. FRANKEN FOR PRESIDENT

No joke...I think he'd be wonderful

[MoonRiver]

22. I'm there, as long as Franken is too!

[starshine00]

26. I want Michelle

he can be veep

[chwaliszewski]

23. I must be totally honest...

I love Bernie and reluctantly voted for Hillary in the GE. But I would get behind Al Franken in a heartbeat. If Bernie doesn't run in 2020, I most certainly hope Al does. I think he is what the Dems need for the survival of the party. Franken/Warren 2020

[bettyellen]

29. Do you think Sanders would run third party at such a low point in our history?

I think the days of thinking you can build a party from the top down are over.

[chwaliszewski]

36. I think Sanders would've beat Trump

I'm also optimistic that Bernie gave the Democratic party a wake up call. I'm also curious on where Hillary has disappeared to.

[bettyellen]

37. A "wake up call" that suppressed the vote and led us to the current situation?

No thanks. The only people who are calling for HRC want their punching bag back. Fuck that, time to build and stop tearing down.

[SaschaHM]

24. I don't know how he has the patience....

I would have told Cornyn to shut the fuck up.

[State the Obvious]

25. He was impressively FOCUSED and PREPARED...

....and is an exact example of what Democratic leadership should look like! Thank you Senator Franken, we are grateful that you hear us, represent us, and SPEAK UP for us!. Well done.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. My senator!

[Paladin]

30. Franken for President, 2020.

We'll be in such desperate need of his experience, intellect and sense of humor by that time---provided the country still exists by then.

[Dopers_Greed]

33. I think Franken is our guy for 2020.

He killed it during the confirmation hearings, and has the backbone to stand up to Dear Pee'er.

When is Putin going to start running propaganda against him?

[RealityChik]

35. Franken/Merkley in 2020?

Seems like a winning ticket to me!

[mucifer]

38. It seems like it took him a few years until he felt he had the support

to be in the media more. Now we see him on all sorts of interviews. When he won his senate seat by a hair it seemed he laid low for quite a while.

I love Al.
