re: the polygamy angle [View all]

[cthulu2016]

This presidential election may be the first where both candidates are closely descended from polygamists.

Romney’s father was born in a polygamist commune in Mexico after Romney’s grandfather fled the United States to avoid American laws against polygamy.

Obama's father was already married in Kenya when he married Barack's mother in Hawaii, but later his first wife, Kezia, said she had granted her consent for him to marry a second wife, in keeping with Luo customs.

Wild world!
