She is champing at the bit to go to future events, including April 19th and June 6th. She really wants to make her anti-Trump feelings heard. Quite a change from back in the day when she was a conservative Republican, and only grudgingly approved of my attendance at protest rallies against George W. Bush and the Iraq War. Life is so much easier now that she is a liberal Democrat.
