Al Franken as 'Perfect Senator' and 'Breakout Political Star'

[easyt65]

People laughed at Trump, too. Difference is Franken actually has some experience.

Experience doing what? Being a comedian? Too bad he was never all that funny.

Keep up with the times. He's been a respected Senator since 2009. What was Trump's experience, reality show host? At least Franken was funny.

Oh be honest - he has NEVER been respected.

He's a SNL '2nd Stringer'.

And when your comedy career hits the rocks, become a politician. Every word falling from a politician's lips is funnier than all hell, 'cause it's all comedy.

So the FAKE NEWS / ALL-IN media has chosel Al Franken to create / manufacture / turn into the next DNC 'STAR' / 'Savior'?!

Bwuhahahaha

'Stewart Smalley' to the rescue.

Al Franken is a con-artist. He specializes in bushwhacking Republicans. But the guy can't really name much of anything he's done to make life better for the people of his state.

Respected Senator? What legislation has he written/introduced/taken the lead on?

It appears that there many who are afraid of Franken. If he were as inconsequential as his detractors would have us believe, why all the scrambling to trash his reputation? It just doesn't add up, folks. They're starting to realize, if Trump can win, Franken could be a shoo-in.

Respected Senator? What legislation has he written/introduced/taken the lead on?

The prime example is a bill he introduced in September 2009 requiring at least 90 percent of health insurance premiums to be spent on claims and improving the quality of care. That provision, with a slightly lower percentage, was incorporated into the Affordable Care Act.

This was the signature achievement of his term, said Kathryn Pearson, an associate professor of political science at the University of Minnesota.

“Having a major piece of legislation in the (Affordable Care Act) is a significant accomplishment and especially at the time for a first-term senator,” she said.

Franken got a national diabetes prevention program into the ACA as well.

And included in the 2013 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act were two provisions he authored — one to ensure victims don’t have to pay for rape kits and another to prevent housing discrimination against domestic-violence victims.

The first initiative he sponsored that made it into law was an amendment in July 2009 to establish a pilot program using service dogs to assist disabled veterans.
