I was thinking exactly that while reading such a well-articulated article. I will never get over it.

Of course, she would have been subjected to years of witch hunts by Congress and Fox News, but that would be preferable to Trump's Supreme Court justices, attempted insurrections, and embarrassments on the world stage.
