That may be your belief, but it is not mine. I think the Democrats will do whatever it takes to remain in power by whatever means necessary, so I said they probably wouldn't ask him to resign a day after never. I don't think the fact that they've asked Franken to resign means that they are not serious about retaining power. They are looking for a new way to attack Trump, because their Russia collusion story is a bust. So they are trying to claim a moral high ground, which they don't have and never did. Gillibrand's comments about the Clintons are a turnabout designed precisely to claim some moral high ground, just as Pelosi is doing. Pelosi voted against impeaching Clinton. Feinstein found Clinton not guilty. These people are not virtuous. They are virtue signalling.
Since the Russia collusion stuff is falling apart--and I think it was rather obviously hatched by the Clinton campaign and furthered by British intelligence and the FBI--they are looking for a new way to try to get Trump out of power. So they are trying to go back to their October Surprise that didn't work for them either. I think the same thing of establishment Republicans like McConnell and Shelby for example.

Well, that's why I'd disagree with your next statement:
Rich wrote:I think this is quite a defeat for the Republican right.
It's a hold for the establishment. Moore was another outsider. It's not unlike the Thad Cochran election; however, Cochran was a Republican. The right hates the establishment, and the establishment showed that it hates the right too just as the Democrats showed that they loath the white working class. However, they have been showing that for awhile now, and the right does not always win these fights. However, the Tea Party has not gone away.
Rich wrote:I wonder if Trump might see a serious primary challenger in 2020.
I wouldn't rule it out. Heck, I think some of the potential challengers will be calling for his resignation in the not too distant future.
Rich wrote:Romney may stand for the Senate in Utah and then use that to launch another Presidential bid.
Romney lost because he showed he is not willing to fight. Trump won precisely because he did fight. He's doing real damage to the establishment's credibility.
Rich wrote:This seriously iimproves the chances of the Democrats taking the Senate in 2018.
That depends upon how the Democrats position themselves. If they are still on the sexual harassment witch hunt, I'm guessing the electorate will be burned out on it by then. Trump won because he embraced working class issues and threw political correctness to the wind.
Rich wrote:Anyway Moore's history now, so what about the allegations against Dustin Hoffman.
Hoffman has apologized. So I'm guessing there is some truth to it; however, it is an allegation dating to 1985. So once again, we have some very untimely complaints.
Rush Limbaugh theorizes that it is about Democrat political strategy. I think it's more about the establishment than just one of the major parties.
Democrats Willing to Throw Endless Number of Liberal Men Overboard to Get TrumpSo the latest stories are that a bunch of ex-NFL players are guilty of sexually harassing people at the NFL Network--as if they didn't have enough problems.
NFL Network suspends analysts over sexual misconduct suitThe NFL on Tuesday identified the three as Faulk, Ike Taylor and Heath Evans. They have been "suspended from their duties at NFL Network pending an investigation into these allegations," league spokesman Brian McCarthy said.
...
Former NFL Network executive Eric Weinberger, former NFL Network analysts Donovan McNabb, Eric Davis, and Hall of Famer Warren Sapp, and former NFL Network employee Marc Watts also are named in the lawsuit.
I've said before that billions went in to getting Hillary Clinton elected, and they obviously want a pound of flesh for her loss. So they are going after high profile people who likely have a public morals clause in their contracts and can be easily terminated.
