31. I had to watch this and then search for Lilly. I found this nugget. A good read.

Lily Adams helped her grandmother Ann Richards win Texas. Can she get Kamala Harris to the White House?

It’s possible that Lily Adams’ political baptism at a Baylor University homecoming parade is what most prepared the Democratic operative for the tone of the Trump era.

Dressed in a red, white and blue dress, she tried in earnest to charm the crowds from a ’57 Ford pickup truck. One angry parade-goer remained less than delighted and wanted her to know it. He marched up to her makeshift float, got in her face and gave her the middle finger.

It was 1990. And she was a 3-year-old.
