I heard a shocking statistic the other day that never before registered with me. We’ve only had ONE divorced president EVER in this country: Ronald Reagan.

And people still try to pass on the cr@p that morality doesn’t matter any more in a president.

You’re comparing Newt Gingrich to Ronald Reagan?

You’re comparing the circumstances of Gingrich’s divorce — he served her in her hospital bed, didn’t he? — to those of Reagan’s — Wyman filed for it, not he?

Wow.

Yep! But in Reagan’s defense...that divorce happened back when he was a democrat, LOL.

we’ve also not had a fat man elected for 75+ years. Sure, clinton got chubby AFTER he was elected. FDR was a little on the heavy side but not too bad when he was campaigning his first term. But to find a president that was FAT before he got elected...you got to go back a long way.

Not too many with grey hair before they got elected either. Eisenhower, truman, and possibly clinton.

Or maybe you just meant, divorce is a big negative.

Sorry if I misunderstood. It’s late.

I guess that makes Reagan a RINO ?
