Thread: Al Franken warns Democrats on Trump impeachment wish, says Pence would be worse

Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota has a message for fellow Democrats who yearn for President Trump’s impeachment: Be careful what they wish for; they just might get it.

Mr. Franken told the International Business Times on Monday that those hoping that the FBI’s investigation into Russia’s attempts to influence the November presidential election will pave the way for impeachment should consider Vice President Mike Pence’s policy preferences.

“Pence ran the transition and some of the very worst nominees, I felt — [Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott] Pruitt, [Education Secretary Betsy] DeVos, [Health and Human Services Secretary Tom] Price, [Office of Management and Budget Director Mick] Mulvaney — were Pence selections, clearly, I think,” Mr. Franken said, IBT reported Monday.

“He’s ideological, I consider him a zealot, and I think that in terms of a lot of domestic policy certainly would be worse than Trump,” said Mr. Franken, taking a break in Denver while promoting his book “Giant of the Senate” to discuss work in Washington.

He elaborated that while Mr. Pence would probably be a better alternative than Mr. Trump on foreign policy, a serious threat of impeachment could prompt a wag-the-dog scenario...

Franken is absolutely NUTS!

I know someone who believes the same. He considers Trump a buffoon, but Pence as dangerous. I really don't understand the liberal mindset.

Pence is a good man. Would make a good Prez.

I find me understaning this when some years ago I would have viewed it as making an excuse....but since listening to Dr Leaf and grasping the affect of sin on the brain, it IS mental illness...self inflicted, though..

Proverbs states in chapter 1, and several other places that the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge...and in another the beginning of wisdom..

America is dominated by the disease of sin and the mental illness of brain damage done by it...not just America of course...the whole world..
