Johnson will get a lot of conservative votes in November as the reasonable alternative to the Crook and the Kook. He could be to Trump what Ross Perot was to Bush Sr.

Some basic facts are missing. One, she was assigned this case by the court and asked to be relieved from it and the judge refused. Second, if the forensic evidence should have been allowed, it was up to the prosecutor to object (she did) and the judge to allow the evidence. Don't blame the lawyer for doing her job. Every lawyer in litigation will at some time have a client that they don't like or they disagree with and their job is to represent that client to the utmost under the law because every lawyer is an officer of the court. It has no bearing to personal beliefs. If you can't do that, choose another profession

See the last part of the article.

In her own words she said that a favor was asked. Also, confirmed by her spokesman. How that translates to her having no choice, I don't know. Plus, I can't see a judge grant the request of a change in defenders for a rape defendant on the basis of the defender's gender. A former colleague and political ally says that she was forced so that is what the fact checkers hang their hat on.[/quote]

you are intentionally missing the point. She took on the case at the request of the prosecutor and after she met the guy, she asked to be relieved of the obligation and the judge refused. She had no choice but to continue to represent someone she did not want to represent.

Why is no one touting that fact that Trump is winning the poorly educated whites vote?

I guess because it is as big news as Hillary (or any Democrat for that matter) is getting 95%+ of the black vote.

The political leanings of Brutha's and Bubba's are not exactly ground breaking stuff.

It has been big news as Trump is right now getting less of the African American vote than any person running for President from a major party, at 1% or less in some polls. Less than Romney, McCain, Bush II, Bush I, Dole and even Reagan. This has been on several news stations.
