Pundit (i.e. expert) Jonah Goldberg decries politicians who listen to what the people think and implies that Americans are too uniformed to have an opinion about whether or not the recent firings in the Attorney General's office are politically motivated.

He concludes:

The days when politicians would actually defend small-r republicanism are gone. The answer to every problem in our democracy seems to be more democracy, as if any alternative spells more tyranny. Indeed, once more the “forces of progress” are trying to destroy the Electoral College in the name of democracy. Their beachhead is Maryland, which was the first to approve an interstate compact promising its electors to whichever presidential candidate wins the national popular vote.

If these progressives have their way, the old notion that this is a republic in which minority communities have a say will suffer perhaps the final fatal blow.

But that’s OK, because 70 percent of Americans say they’re for getting rid of the Electoral College. And Lord knows, they must be right.

Is he right?
