Even my wife is aware of the political season.

I had to laugh. She was in a doctor's waiting room and sent me a text

"stupid CNN on and some stupid GOP candidate on spouting off
I was getting ready to go outside and wait when they called me"

In 32 years I have never heard her use the term GOP. She never pays any attention to cable political talk no matter what party is talking or who it is.
She is a reality show watcher.
For her to get that worked up over a political show this far away from an election is earth shattering to me.
Soon we will be discussing Bernie vs Hillary

Isn't politics on TV the ultimate reality show, complete with the off-camera manipulations?

She's a HRC supporter, but lacks confidence that she can win despite her lead. She was an Edwards supporter last time before switching to Obama.
