Nope, she's not. A trophy wife is a woman for whom a man dumps his first wife. Fred had divorced his first wife in 1985, and was single when he moved to DC as a Senator. He dated several women during that time, and met Jeri then.
I'm a middle aged woman and have no problem with him having a younger wife, especially since I know he didn't leave his first wife for her. In fact, there is some info that Fred's first wife might be willing to campaign for him. That tells me something important about the man.
I’m the same age as Jeri. It’s kind of nice being considered a young girl. :p
Only dated? Several women? Nice try. Fred behaved like men in their twenties and thirties, in his forties and fifties. After sleeping around with a number of women during that time period, he marries a woman young enough to be his daughter. Hardly a paragon of conservative social virtue, and a lousy example.

Just as I would have a problem with a woman marrying a man young enough to be her son, I have a problem with a man marrying a woman young enough to be his daughter. The fact that his first wife is willing to campaign for him tells us nothing.
BTW, trophy wives can be the first woman you marry, they aren't necessarily women one marries after a divorce.
I wouldn't give a democrat a pass for this kind of personal history, and I won't give it to a Republican either, not in my teens, not in my forties and not ever.
