Exactly! I don’t care how “normal” or “reasonable” it was in his response to the “find a spouse” conditions of the time & his locale. The optics no longer “play” in a positive way. Unfair yes, sad yes but that’s the way it is! I still think he is a very untalented as a campaigner which makes it 10 times worse.
He married a woman when she was 24 and he was 32 and is still married to her.
