21. Leaving a lying, cheating, adulterous, lecherous spouse is NOT to "cut and run"
Sun Nov 17, 2013, 09:56 PM
Nov 2013

And Mrs. Clinton neither had to remain married to him nor "has to endure him". Having taught Womens' Studies for several years, I am well aware of studies detailing that many emotionally and/or physically abused wives stayed with their abusive husbands because they were too impoverished, too insecure, too frightened to leave. Mrs. Clinton had the ability to make an excellent living all on her own, and the legal knowledge on how to get out of her marriage fast and quick. None of us can know the psychological process through which she decided to remain married. But please do not glorify her for remaining as if she had no other "classy" choice, or put down women who end marriages to cheating husbands as "cutting and running".
And what an incredible stretch you make to equate Elizabeth Warren having "sizzle", which as the article portrays it, refers to a fiery delivery, to being slick, BS-ing and speaking out of all sides of the mouth.
