:gucci: according to who?
He's about to announce his registration. He's lost the support of the vast majority of his colleagues in congress. If he ran again they'd wanna primary him because he's become a liability.

This was a guy who seemingly never had any political ambitions until he one day did. he clearly didn't plan this out and his behavior reflects that. Even after getting elected the behavior of grabbing women like he did was questionable.

His colleagues opinions don't matter. Do you honestly believe he would lose a primary today?

I believe he'd get primaried from both sides. A group like Justice Democrats would probably field an even more liberal candidate and the corporate Dems aren't gonna want him around either so they'd have one ready.

Like I said if he was a Republican he could probably make it but as a Democrat this will end him. This was a man who had aspirations for president. What do you think he does hang around and try for that anyway? If you thought they fought to keep Bernie away from the nomination the whole party will fight this uniformly because it's easy.

Democrats want him to resign. You got Republican senators calling for his resignation as well.:russ: Everybody sees the hypocrisy, including those same democrats, but the beat goes on.

I'd straight up tell them...

I'll consider resigning when pedophile Roy Moore is put in jail...
