Yes, I loved Nancy Reagan. She got a bad rap from the press but she was great! Melania was very good and got a worse rap from the press.
So their going after poor Melania ( and they are STILL doing it ) is nothing new.
OTOH...our side ( before there was a GOP ), savagely went after Jackson's wife...claiming that she was an adultress, a low class female who smoked a pipe ( she DID smoke a pipe ), and far worse!
