And its for Alabama to choose, but after that interview and his answers, the story gonna be old man dating teens. Guess what, not how you win an election for US Senate.
You don’t understand how it used to work down here at that time.
Most eligible women back then were married before they were twenty, so to find one that wasn’t a divorcee when you’re older requires you to look for women that might be more than a decade younger than you if you weren’t part of the first wave of marriages for your age group. (Something the Judge could not do given his career trajectory.)
I ran into the same thing myself when I moved down here. I started dating my wife of thirty years when she was 15 and I was 23. The part nobody seems to atttend to these days is there’s nothing wrong with dating such a young girl as long as you have her parent’s permission, and you’re not playing “slap and tickle” with her.
