"SNIP.......

Politico has a profile of Casey DeSantis, the wife of the Florida governor and his most trusted adviser, that includes a couple of interesting quotes.

Said a former DeSantis administration staffer: “He’s a leader who makes political decisions with the assistance of his wife, who was elected by nobody, who’s blindly ambitious. And she sees ghosts in every corner.”

Said another: “She’s more paranoid than he is.”

Said a former campaign staffer: “He’s a vindictive motherfucker. She’s twice that. She’s the scorekeeper.”

YET Hillary Clinton was burned to the ground for stepping outside what others thought as the "traditional" political wife role.
