Interesting answer. Our personal relationships are more nuanced than those outside can conceive. Beyond his egregious mistakes, they prob loved each other deeply, had mostly great times & he was a genuinely effective member of Congress. People are complex.
I’m so confused is it me or did she not answer the question? Clearly you wanted your ex husband to climb the power ladder just like Hillary did, why is it so hard to just admit that. Unless you’ve convinced yourself of your own lies.
It really does seem she uses her religion conveniently.
Bizarrely cold and meaningless answer, which feels like it’s straight out of the HRC playbook. Surely ‘I was trying to stand by him. In the end i couldn’t’ sounds a lot more normal?
