2. If she can't stand the heat, she should get out of the kitchen.

Wait, can she even find the kitchen? Certainly can't hold a candle to Michelle Obama.

with our profound concern for her well-being that can only be addressed with her remaining in the privacy of her own life and NOT ON THE PUBLIC STAGE. If running for President is too much for her, the spouse, then the answer could only be......

11. She doesn't have to be working the campaign from the front

Seems to me that she's only been too glad to take center stage during this campaign so far.

5. You know, you're 100% correct. Stress is a trigger. Mitt is an abusive spouse.

Putting her through the high stress of making her defend his refusal to release his tax returns!

What a selfish move on his part.

coz things would be getting a whole lot more stressful if her husband was the actual president and not just running for it for the 6th? time.. I worry for Anne. I hope the people keep her safe and comfy and out of OUR HOUSE- our White House that is.

and I'm guessing part of it for his sons was not only for their family privacy and dutiful campaign appearances, but for their mother's health. Now, she's looking haggard, sounding shrill and definitely not-ready-for-primetime.

She needs to resume her job as a stay-at-home wife/mom/grandma and take care of her health. Mitt's selfishness/ego is to blame and the Republican Party is not amused, either. Politics aside, I don't think this ends well.

Through this stress. How would she be able to continue a church calling and WH duties.
Plus MS medication is an art as much as a science. Interferon has to be injected subq and it leaves marks and thickens up the tissues. It's wildly expensive, made from Chinese hampster overies.
The new shit is antibiological and people have died during the clinical trials because it was waking up a dormant brain virus, that went right back to work on the brain. But it was an oral agent.
The other new one is given IV every month and is hugely pricey too.
At least they have all the health insurance THEY need. Dick everyone else.-----(thanks autocorrect-I'm leaving it)
