(135,425 posts)I suppose I'd better haul out the
tag since you are so doggedly focusing on the "marriage" bit and --apparently--COMPLETELY ignoring the other issues I've raised about this guy in this thread.
But again, I am not going to the MORALITY aspect of his many marriages at all. As I've said, time and time again, yet no one seems to want to read that bit.
I am going for the judgment aspect, the "quitter" aspect (this is a guy who was vetted by the Senate in their advise and consent role for a high level cabinet job--SECNAV--who QUIT after nine months--in a huff, too) and the fact that the GOP will play up all those marriages, especially the last marriage to a much younger "foreigner."
And if you don't think they'll do that, if you seriously think the GOP will "stick to the issues" and take the high road, you need to check the archives of the Allen-Webb campaign. Were it not for Macaca, they would have raked his personal life over the coals. They were going down that track when they found themselves having to defend against justified charges of racism after Allen went off on that videographer. I guess full frontal racism, caught on tape, trumps vulgar and plausibly deniable insinuation any day of the week.
