Nick is Hillary's traveling press sec.
FLOTUS is to attend also, according to a tweet I read yesterday -no link to that one, and I haven't come across any articles about it.
Hillary's response soon after the death announcement highlighted Ms Reagan's contribution to the cause of researching Alzheimer's. I appreciated that she recounted something good the woman did wholly apart from her husband's noxious agenda. Hillary has a knack for that. It's a valuable talent in such a polarized nation.
Nothing so far as I can tell about Rosalynn, Bar or Laura. Small club. I'm glad she's going.

He'll hopefully set a precedent for FSOTUS (First Spouse Of The US).
And I am glad that Hillary is paying her respects, even if it is Nancy Reagan. All of them worked for free during their spouses' terms, and that isn't right. And as a country, we don't need to give the repukes more reasons for perceived slights.

The number of residents of the White House is small, and I believe this type of event transcends party when it comes to showing the respect of funeral attendance.

Not only is it the right thing to do, but every bridge that she can build helps.
