On the way in to work this morning there was a conversation on the MN public radio news station where someone was saying “We should get rid of Franken and get someone we like”. They may have been suggesting Ellison but I shut the damned radio off.

My prediction is that we’re going to “Oh gosh” ourselves into making Franken resign before Moore’s election. We’ll loose Franken and then Moore will win and be seated in the senate, and we’ll all be talking about how disappointing it is that democrats continue to fail us.

I’ve had a tendency to dismiss people who complain about how gutless democrats and progressives are when push comes to shove, but I believe that I am about to give up. I’m thinking the republicans get Ryan’s tax plan passed, trash Obamacare and the Sessions justice department gets full reign. Right at this moment I’m just feeling like we are totally self-fucked. We are so goddamned stupid.
