We said ‘yes’ to accountabi­lity

-

President Donald Trump made these past midterm elections about himself. He said, as he crisscross­ed the country, that this election was about “me.”

The majority has spoken, and the majority has rejected “Trumpism,” despite a relatively good economy (though the rising debt worsened by the Republican tax reform will soon haunt us). We have rejected the politics of division and lies (that Democrats are for open borders and going easy on criminals); his bullying tactics and name-calling; his assault on the environmen­t; his coddling of foreign tyrants (especially Saudi Arabia); the corruption in his administra­tion and his disregard of the emoluments clause; and his hypocrisy on health care.

Most importantl­y, we have said “no” to one-party rule and a spineless Congress, and “yes” to accountabi­lity. Let the investigat­ions begin and the rule of law prevail.
