Reagan was divorced, but his wife left *him*. He didn’t *abandon* Jane, and rightly or wrongly, Newt is seen as an SOB by a substantial number of women. Clinton is a Democrat. No Republican could have survived for a week doing what that predator did. Best, Bob
My reply was not meant as a criticism of Regan. I campaigned for him when he ran for Gov. and Pres. It was to show how times change. There was a time when a divorce, regardless of cause would disqualify a person from becoming president. When Regan ran it was not. And times have certainly changed sense then.
