In the wake of being offered up as a sacrificial lamb for the short-term political gain of the Democratic Party, Al Franken’s ouster revealed a critical component of the Democrats 2018 Midterm strategy.
Eddie Zipperer with The Daily Caller outlines the cynical strategy to claim the moral high ground amidst the ongoing pervnado that has brought chaos to the liberal bastions of Hollywood, Washington, and New York.
Step One: Run Al Franken out of town. No ethics investigation. No consideration of Minnesota voters. No censure or lesser discipline. Just an aggressive Franken-ectomoy.
Step Two: Sit back and wait for alleged pedophile Roy Moore to win a Senate seat in Alabama’s special election.
Step Three: Make sure Franken’s exit shares a news cycle with Roy Moore’s entrance. It would have been the Holy Grail of partisan juxtaposition—the split-screen video image to end all split screen video images.
Step Four: Scream into the echo chamber that Republicans are the Roy Moore party and Democrats are the party of women.
Fortunately, that plan has backfired – so far. Whether or not a variation of it will prevail come November remains unclear at this early juncture.
