And I challenge you to find me one voter, just one, whose pro or con decision about Trump hinged on his third wife.
I’d forgotten all about her until she came up the other day in a Daily Beast headline that called Casey DeSantis “the Walmart Melania.” Better than “the Bergdorf Melania,” which would be redundant.
But while we tend to exaggerate the importance of what a spouse does in public, we sometimes shortchange the relevance of what a spouse does in private.
That’s where and how Casey DeSantis probably matters most.
The political spouse I observed most closely, Laura Bush, was much more consequential behind the scenes than in front of the cameras.
