Why on earth would Senator Franken want to subject himself to more of the same? I wish he'd go the Al Gore route, placing himself beyond politics and seeking to make the world a better place. After all, Vice President Gore won an Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize for his good works. Not too shabby for an ex-politician.

Too late, really question everything Nov 2018 #6

He could run for President in 2020. n/t Mister Ed Nov 2018 #7

I would be too. Mister Ed Nov 2018 #10
