My opinion is let this old man do what he wants.
So long as they are both happy. At least now, with his previous wife deceased, he can’t be said to be cheating.
I have other things to do than follow 70 y/o people around to see who they’re dating. If I live that long, I too wish to find longterm happiness of some kind.
I agree, they are both 77. His wife had been out of it for a while.
Except, the relationship began four decades ago.
It’s not a case of a couple septuagenarians finding love, it’s more a case of waiting 40 years for the wife to kick to bucket.
Correct. Bill Clinton sexually assaulted women in the White House, had Arkansas State Troopers escort a least one female state employee to his hotel room, where he had his pants off and told her told her to “kiss it”, while state troopers stood guard outside, and the media shrugs its metaphorical Gallic shoulders. That was after he forcibly raped another women whom he lured into his hotel room on the pretext of “state business”. But let a 77 year old Republican date his same age secretary and it’s a “scandal”. Sheesh, people.
If his marriage was the only issue I’d agree; just let him be. BUT...Haley Barbour and the RINO GOP establishment bought black Democrat votes to defeat Chris McDaniel when McDaniel was clearly the choice of the people. Without the GOP establishment buying these black democrat votes Thad would have been sent packing and a new Tea Party supporting senator sent to Washington. The establishment couldn’t afford to give up that position, especially to a Tea Partier, so Thad, after having said otherwise, decided to run. I fully expect him to “retire to spend time with his family/new wife/fill in the blank” as soon as Haley has his boy properly groomed or perhaps Ol’ Thad can make it 5 years and then the governor can just appoint Haley’s boy.
