It’s a big plus in his favor.
This reminds me of the 2000 Presidential election. I did not think that George W. was EVER going to get Laura and Barbara out on the campaign trail. I called radio talk shows asking: “Where the heck is Laura and Barbara; everybody loves Barbara”.
Finally they surfaced but it was almost too late.
I have been through two divorces and anyone who says it’s no big deal is a dang liar! Darn near killed me - twice! I thank God for Mitt’s strong family.
I actually cried when I saw the Christmas video of Romney’s.
I like Mitt, but don’t want to make a big deal out of this. After all, Reagan also divorced once, while Clinton is still married to one person.
Anne Romney had talked about this “get together” in an interview she did awhile back with George Stephanopolous. She said the family had come together to discuss the impact on them, if Romney ran for President.
One of the reasons, she said, was that the family would have to take up part of the slack for her because of her MS. She said she “went to empty” pretty quickly sometimes, and wouldn’t always be able to do campaigning, and the family said they would step in and take up the slack, in times when she couldn’t participate.
I’m impressed with anybody (politics or religion don’t have to do with it) when they’ve been married to the same person for many years and obviously have a good relationship with their grown children and in-laws. He did something right. Whether that will make him a good President, who’s to say at this point, but it does show something about the man.
