Last weekend hundreds of us lined up to enter the gym in central Topeka, Kansas, where my now 33-year-old daughter attended middle school. My long line of already registered voters was not nearly as long as the parallel line of young people registering to vote, and erstwhile Republicans switching to the Democratic Party to caucus for Bernie Sanders.

The young man ahead of me sported a beard and a slouchy hat. I asked him if he was caucusing for Bernie. "Was it the hat or the beard or my age that gave it away?" he laughed.

I told him I was there to caucus for Hillary, but if Bernie were the nominee, I would support him, of course. He made me no such promise for Hillary.

In the Landon Middle School gym Hillary supporters crowded the bleachers on one side. Bernie supporters filled the opposite-side bleachers and spilled onto the gymnasium floor. The Bernie supporters yelled, "Feel the Bern!" We Hillary supporters chanted "Madame President," and, as we clapped, shouted, "It's About Time!"
