A clown like Al Franken for the Democrat running mate? It’s no joke if you are as bat-shit crazy as left-wing Politico. They are actually running an article propped up the clown Franken to be the Dem VP. Imagine. Hillary Clinton and Al Franken. A criminal and a clown. Or Sanders and Franken. A communist and a clown. The only state stupid enough to vote for Al Franken for ANYTHING is Minnesota. The same state that voted for Walter Mondale in 1984, Jesse Ventura as Governor and clown Franken as Senator (TWICE!).

This is not a joke. Senator Al Franken should be the Democratic Party’s choice for vice president.
If I had said that 10 years ago, or even six months ago, the notion would have been preposterous: a former Saturday Night Live writer, perhaps best known as the mock self-help guru Stuart Smalley, Franken became synonymous with left-wing bombast thanks to his best-selling book Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot. He took the presidency itself as a joke, writing a satirical campaign memoir, Why Not Me, in which Franken wins the White House on a platform of eliminating ATM fees, only to be quickly chased out by the “Joint Congressional Committee on the President’s Mood Swings.”

But for a 2016 presidential race that’s already stranger than fiction, his party truly needs someone like Franken if it’s going to win the presidency.
Before Donald Trump, Franken wouldn’t possibly have merited serious consideration. Even though his seven-year record as a senator from Minnesota suggests he’s a genuinely committed legislator, the first rule of V.P. picks is “do no harm”—and pre-Trump, the trove of politically incorrect barbs from Franken’s past would have been far too much baggage for a presidential nominee to want to carry. The spotlight would have been on him instead of Clinton.
Franken for the Democrat running mate would be a dream come true. It would be like dumb Joe Biden, only slightly younger and equally as dumb. Considering the state of the Democrat party and their surrogate sites like Politico, Al Franken is probably the perfect fit.
