My ex-wife called yesterday. [View all]

She has never been very political nor a big Hillary fan and she doesn't always vote but she was so upset yesterday with the new "witch hunt" email news she got in her car and drove 30 miles down the mountain to early vote for Hillary. She is in her 70's and has two bad knees but nothing was going to stop her. She was really pissed. I am not sure what this means but maybe, just maybe, James Comey has awakened a sleeping giant.
