Sort of... He did not run, and it was because of her, but it is because he didn't want her to relive her humiliation. She abandoned him, and their young daughters, to go play with her lover in CA for a few years. She eventually woke up, and he took her back.... but she didn't want that to be thrown in her face during the campaign (as we all know the MSM would do), and he once again deferred to what was best for his family. Some might call that a weak husband, others might think higher of him for it.
Mitch is very very good fiscally, and should be considered for other posts that get less limelight.
Thanks for explaining. I had forgotten the actual reasons he chose to stay out. She is right, all that dirty laundry absolutely would be re-hung out to dry in the public view. Especially for conservatives. They would have interviewed her former paramour:”Will you be voting for Mitch too?”
