You honestly believe left-his-wife-while-she-was-stricken-with-cancer had a shot during the general election? We had enough to deal with concerning Bain Capital. You think the press would have ignored Newt’s heavy baggage?
Actually, since that didn’t happen, that’s not baggage of any kind. Guy with Caymn islands accounts and who didn’t pay taxes for 10 years probably couldn’t win anything and didn’t.
They agreed to a divorce BEFORE she went in the hospital to have surgery, and it was not a life threatening cancer, either.
This wife, by the way, was Newt’s high school teacher that sexually molested him when he was a minor. When she became pregnant, he felt obligated to marry her.
She should have been charged with a crime and sent to prison.
