Love Elizabeth Warren, But Not Impeachment; Election Is Coming
Sen. Elizabeth Warren advocates impeaching Trump. Impeachment is a bad idea. The Senate wouldn't convict and the 2020 election is soon.

I love Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). In my opinion, she's the only presidential candidate who has the skill set required to break up the corporate oligarchy that has taken over our republic and democratic values. Our corporate oligarchy has bought up our president, our senators, our representatives, and most of our state legislatures and governors as well. You might say the oligarchy is running our country, because they are.
Without the break-up of the corporate oligarchy keeping our drug prices high (I'm looking at you, Cory Booker, who voted with Big Pharma to keep Americans from being able to buy cheaper Canadian medicine because, as Big Pharma claimed themselves, "it might be dangerous"); nothing can be done to alter climate change (oil companies will fight any efforts to reduce carbon emissions), keep AR-15s and high-capacity magazines from crazy people and criminals .... You get the idea.
However, I don't agree with Sen. Warren that the House should impeach Pres. Trump because it would take 20 Republicans' votes to convict Trump in the Senate. Without a conviction, Trump would take another "total exoneration" to his cultlike followers and play the victim card once again. That's not just a waste of time, it's playing into Trump's hands.

Maybe Sen. Warren is tired of being ignored by the media and is trying to get some media attention. The mostly male anchors on all of the major networks, including MSNBC, especially Chuck Todd, have not covered male and female presidential candidates equally.
Chuck Todd got particularly cute with his presidential preference by coming up with "the B's" one day recently: Bernie, Biden, Beto, Buttigieg, and so on -- all male. He didn't mention a single female candidate; I guess because none of their names started with a B! If only, I'm sure he would have mentioned her.
