I thought what he said about Trump and Moore was completely good. They are scum of the highest order, and if he didn't say it as a Senator, no one else was going to do so, it seems. It is reprehensible that Trump and Moore are supported by the GOP party.
I was bothered that he was resigning because I was worried a Republican would get that seat, but then I learned that his replacement will be appointed by the Democratic Minnesota governor, Mark Dayton. That person will remain in the seat until a new election next November. So it will be a Democrat that replaces Franken. If the governor was a Republican, then it most likely would have gone to a GOPer.
I know people these days think all parties are bad, but I don't think the Democrats would have screwed over the American people the way the GOP keep trying to do.
