Sounds like she's heading for a divorce too. Maybe she has too much going on to focus on the campaign this close to the election.

I'm surprised she didn't try to spin this towards winning some feminist votes. After all, she's nobody's property and was just rebelling against the oppression of patriarchy.

Of course, but she sure as hell was heavy handed about it... CTyankee Aug 2014 #11

might be tough to continue campaigning as a republican if the affair was with a woman.... unblock Aug 2014 #16

well, it was her phrasing that caught my eye...she made it "sound" like a one night CTyankee Aug 2014 #18

I question her knowledge of English, or her veracity. 'Affair' means more than a quick poke. Shrike47 Aug 2014 #19

probably she misspoke and meant to say "it was found out" on that date but CTyankee Aug 2014 #21
