Wow - just wow.

(7,027 posts)She can afford to be protective of him over any consideration for how it may look politically. It's what I would do if my spouse was in distress.
We could peel this onion further. To what extent has his concern for her well-being left him vulnerable to her manipulation? How much of his callous drive is born of her energy?
I am fine to let this family live in peace as they retire to their fortune. Koch, Rove, the MIC et al are going to have to find someone made of sterner stuff. That beast still lives.

(3,941 posts)counterproductive when he is hopping from state to state trying to find votes. Just saying, the adage "don't start a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel" seems appropriate. Left behind, tired, no luggage sounds like an opportunity to vent for people who are sick and tired of the peon treatment.
Another classless move by a spoiled brat. I'm betting there is a really interesting reason why that happened. Tantrums, fits, thrown objects are my bet.
