Anybody know why they got divorced - I mean the REAL reason (usually hard to know).

Don’t know, but the article said they were married 39 years and remained friends. After 39 years you would think they would just stick it out. But that kind of longevity is to be congratulated.

Just read the Wiki bio and it said he was “not being affectionate.” They divorced in 2014. They were NOT young, so the reason is odd.

Possibly some indications in this Inside Edition story from 2016:

IIRC, the reason for the divorce was related to medical costs. FWIW.

I heard they got divorced because his health insurance was better as an unmarried.

[Political Junkie Too]

They got divorced because Obamacare made their health care coverage unaffordable as a married couple.
