‘I’m a Democrat in love with a Republican’: Meet the couples who are part of a dying breed
NY Post
Dueling Democrats and Republicans in Congress could use some pointers from these clashing couples.
“I’m a Democrat who completely opposes Trump and his agenda, so I know it sounds crazy that I’m married to a Republican,” St. Louis, Missouri, mom-of-two Samantha Miller, 38, told The Post of the political paradox she’s embraced with her husband Andy, a 42-year-old fan of President Donald Trump.
“There are times when we won’t speak about it [politics],” Samantha told The Post. “We just know. I’m very, very strong-minded in my opinions. He’s very strong-minded in his.”
As the red-blue divide and governmental shutdown wreak havoc on federal workers’ paychecks, travelers’ vacation plans and more, some divergent duos are proving that opposites do attract — and can even prosper together.
While Samantha has “polar opposite” views to Andy, who supports the administration’s economic agenda and a crackdown on illegal immigration, she said they “have a beautiful family and a strong marriage built on love, not politics.”
If it sounds too good to be true, that’s because it nearly is. Inter-party relationships are rare — and becoming rarer.
