Yes but true

An educated electorate is the best way to prevent leaders like trump

Disagree with this from my experience, at least as a blanket statement. Education level and even intelligence don't indicate Trump approval or disapproval.

True fact: Hillary won two segments of voters when analyzed by income, the two at $50,000 a year or less.

President Trump won every other segment, starting at $50,001 and on up. Not by heroic margins necessarily, but win them all he did.

Guess which segments “educated” people tend to come from?

Even if you want to argue she makes good points (I’m not) this is not the time unless you’re going to endorse someone. And now she’s going to be toxic to many non-candidates until the general.

Senator Mitt Romney, Republican of Utah and former Republican presidential candidate, issued a statement to his constituents on Tuesday, pledging to “do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.” All senators took that pledge, but any votes were still expected to be along party lines.

Mr. Romney is one of a handful of Republicans who have said they would be open to a vote on whether to call witnesses, something the Democrats have been demanding. In his statement, Mr. Romney said he would not support efforts to hold a vote on whether to call witnesses until after opening arguments are complete, which, under the majority leader Senator Mitch McConnell’s plan could be next week.

On Monday, Mr. Romney said he supported Mr. McConnell’s proposed rules.
