Re “If It’s Trump vs. Warren, Then What?” (column, Oct. 18):

David Brooks makes some excellent points. As a Republican, I favor many of President Trump’s actions, such as tariffs on China and border controls. But as an American, I cannot bear any more of his juvenile nonsense. I would rather almost anyone else as the next president, including (gasp!) Elizabeth Warren.

The best thing would be to impeach and remove this president, well before the election, so that the Republicans have an opportunity to put up a candidate who could continue some of Mr. Trump’s policies without his ridiculous and dangerous actions and those very silly tweets. I have had enough of this.

Dear Mr. Brooks,

It may not be as nerve-racking as you think to vote for Elizabeth Warren. Just remember, the newly elected President Warren will still have to go through Congress to enact her ultraprogressive programs. For example, at the end of the legislative sausage-making we’ll wind up with “Warrencare” just as President Obama wound up with Obamacare, a watered-down version of his original idea, but way better than what we had before. And so it will go with all of Ms. Warren’s very aspirational plans.

Isn’t it great that our Constitution’s framers set up three branches of government? I do love our system.
