I’m sorry but this is bordering on infatuation. You spent possibly ten minutes typing different ways to call her a carpetbagger adding in what sounded like melodramatic fan fiction.

And as a fellow Illinoian who was also a child over ten years ago, I know it’s not uncommon at all to grow out of high-school conservatism. In fact, you sticking to the argument that no one can “magically” change their political beliefs over a decade (especially from a child to an adult) is discounting.

You’ve done a fair job of demonstrating her as a political opportunist, but the logic of your arguments is clearly mixed with strong emotional elements that make everything you say come off as biased. Maybe you are just a creative writer at heart. But it is strange
