The Foxbots actually counted the number of times Romney and Obama said
"God" in their acceptance speeches.

Easy to spot those May-October deals. She sticks with the old goat for a few years, cashes in via will or divorce decree, and THEN snags ol' Chip, the tennis pro, at the local watering hole. Some females have it made, but how do they face the gal in the mirror?

No one is holding a gun to the Old Goat's head to choose a Child Bride.
I'd say he's getting the better of the deal.

It's ridiculous how they have to pander to that crowd.

The guy can marry someone his own age, no one is stopping him,
as you say. Why look down on the woman, she's not tricking him
into it. He is an equal party in the deal.

Absolutely. I'm sure the aim is to make him feel young and virile.
I wonder if it soon has the opposite effect. And whether he reminds her
of his father or grandfather.

Life is filled with choices. Unfortunately it has gotten way too easy
and acceptable to make them without much thought and to remedy the bad
decisions too easily.

You'd think, right? I guess the money/power evens the score.

You know what they say, Marry for money and you will earn every penny.

People get married for all kinds of reasons, security being one. Or
having a really good looking companion might be another. Either way,
it's their life.
