Absolutely brutal (and correct) assessment of Wendy Davis’ core political problem

From Legal Insurrection:
Naomi Schaefer Riley writing in The NY Post has a brutal assessment of why Wendy Davis has no future in politics
After Jeff finished paying off the last of Wendy’s school loans, she filed for divorce and gave up custody of her children. According to Jeff, his wife just decided, “While I’ve been a good mother, it’s not a good time for me right now.”….

............................

A few years ago, one of my guy friends was dating a woman who didn’t have custody of her child. Every one of this man’s female friends told him to run. The fact that she would either willingly give up custody or that a judge would deem her unworthy of even joint custody raised alarm bells.

Feel free to call it sexism, if you want. But it’s a double standard that I don’t expect will change any time soon.
 The following line from the article should be the "Tweet of the Day" regarding Wendy Davis,
[Jeff Davis] not only took on raising his own daughter alone, but also another girl, who’d been abandoned first by her father and then her mother.
Another article from the Daily Caller:
A dating service that pairs wealthy “sugar daddies” with “sugar babies” for “mutually beneficial dating arrangements” has endorsed Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis.
..................

“Wendy Davis is proof that the sugar lifestyle is empowering,” seeking arrangements founder and CEO Brandon Wade said in his endorsement. “It can take a single mom from squalor to scholar, or in this case from the trailer park to Harvard, and a seat in the Senate. The sugar lifestyle creates an opportunity for women to transcend the single mother stereotypes.”
