Nice. But as an editor of sorts, I noticed two things that could be fixed.

1. There was a good reason I refused to go back to the capital to sit in on any come commissions. - come commissions? Was this an inadvertent word placement? or did your spellcheck, like mine, change a word?
2. "One of the best ways to hurt Hillary would be to present her followers and whiney and unreasonable," Another spellcheck error? I'm betting you meant "followers as whiny and unreasonable".
   You got my vote, that's for sure.
