Why didn’t Al Franken resign in his speech on Thursday rather than say he would resign in a few weeks? It’s because he wants Alabama voters to think that they should reject Roy Moore just as the Democrats in Congress supposedly have rejected Franken. After the election in Alabama on Tuesday, either way it goes, look for Franken to decide not to resign “in a few weeks,” his fake resignation obviously a ploy to depress the vote for Moore, the next U. S. senator from Alabama.
