    People are pointing out the obvious irony/hypocrisy of Starr decrying the normalization of impeachment, but the deeper messager here is pretty clear, though not quite stated: We're absolutely going to impeach the next Democratic president.

    Warren was also asked by a voter today how to get more men to support a woman candidate. Warren said, "How about we give them a tough smart woman to vote for?"…
