My brother dated Ryan's wife when they were kids

He watched the convention just long enough to see a picture of her, then he wanted me to turn it off, as it absolutely nauseated him.

We teased him about her a bit, and my kids got a hoot out of it.

Still not sure how Democrats could raise a kid that would marry a Republican. Especially one that's such a liar.

I've already told my kids not to bring a Republican home. They agree.

I was overseas at the time, so I never met her.

Don't know if they were ever really an item so to speak, so can't say there was an actual "break up" or just loss of interest. Some people can't do long separations.

He went into military, then to Bosnia.

I'm assuming she went to college after that time.
