(21,925 posts)Of course she has a right to get into the spotlight on behalf of her husband. She has absolutely no right whatsoever to expect any degree of immunity by virtue of signing a marriage contract with a candidate. A wife who is active in slanting and lying and deceiving on behalf of her husband should be afforded no greater deference than any other common supporter such as Ted Nugent. There's nothing sacred or special about being married to a candidate once a wife or husband becomes a player in actively using their opinions and unique perspective aggressively as a sword on the candidate's behalf. If she's trying to sway voters, we have every right to point to her lies as lies and to present facts showing her lack of credibility and hypocrisy. If she can't stand the heat... well, you know.
