Thompson’s running-mate should have executive experience rather than a truckful of baggage, including discarded wives and the ignominous 1995 Fade.

But you don't mind a bevy of ex-wives and lovers in Fred's past. Interesting

"But you don't mind a bevy of ex-wives and lovers in Fred's past. Interesting"

One ex-wife who is not only friendly with him but supportive of his candidacy and has only nice things to say. It might be news to you, but sometimes good people break up. (Reagan divorced Jane Wyman, after all.) As to girlfriends, sure, Thompson dated between marriages, and not only did he score some real knockouts but they all, uniformly rave about what a gentleman and romantic he is.

I guess if being divorced and having dates disqualifies a person from the presidency, then along with Reagan we should bar Giuliani and McCain, allowing only single-marriage folks like Romney to run. And the Clintons. And the Gores. Regarding those last two, they illustrate that there are better reasons to vote for or against candidates, such as career-long records of socialist actions, positions and rhetoric.

Thanks for playing.
