Hillary and Bernie Come to Town
Woman in the Middle | May 26, 2016You can tell this is one weird presidential election when actual candidates appear in my neck of the woods. California is a reliably blue state (at least most of the time) and so they usually only come to Los Angeles or Malibu or Silicon Valley to raise money. But Tuesday was one crazy day around here. Both Bernie and Hillary were here on the SAME DAY! Yep, they both appeared in the big city next door, in preparation for our primary in June.
Bernie was at the municipal auditorium in down town. That messed with traffic patterns in that area. Hillary was at our local University of California branch. Unfortunately, Hillary decided to appear at the school the day Eldest Daughter had her second midterm. Eldest asked me to drive her as two parking lots were closed to students, to make way for the folks coming to see Hillary. I thought about going to see one of them. We don’t get this opportunity very often. However, when I considered what I would have to do to see either of them, I decided I would just read about it in the newspaper.
Yep, this is going to be one crazy election season. Conk me over the head and wake me up in the middle of November, please!
What would you have had to do to see them? Who did you want to see more?
I would have had to stand in line for a very long time. I can’t stand right now for hours at a time.
