Reagan had the good sense to divorce his wife and he was not elected to public office at the time, huge difference IMO.
It was his wife who ended the marriage. He was utterly shocked and devastated.
“Reagan had the good sense to divorce his wife”
It was Wyman who kicked HIM to the curb, and not in a very kind way, IIRC. I’m not a fan of Nancy Reagan, but she was completely devoted to him. All occurred well before he was governor.
No, it was Jane who pushed for the divorce; Ronnie wanted to stay married.
