The reader who sent me this answers the question: “I voted for Trump.”

Not a bad response, but, as we’re all aware, it’s not always true. Trump’s support base includes a small but not insignificant number of extremely well education people who, IMO, have sets of moral principles that are deeply defective.

To my sadness and astonishment, there are highly educated people who don’t care that the environment is collapsing, that our educational system lies in ruins, that Trump’s cabinet picks are not based on merit, but on their loyalty to the president, that the nation has abandoned rule of law for the wealthy and powerful, and the U.S. government is controlled by a handful of greedy billionaires.

What a completely asinine thing for anyone to say–even Ted Cruz.

It was the expressed will of the people of Texas to remove criminal Republicans. Trump supported Paxton, but he lost by more than 12 points! Abbott lost by more than 7.

Malaria is more popular in Texas now than Trump.
