I agree with a few of your statements. However, one could say that some individuals marry others only to find that their spouse has grown at odds with the original character whom they chose to partner with, so I don't understand the correlation to the original article. We're talking about her morals correct? Not her relationship status, right?

Speaking directly to the statement regarding my tidy little predisposition: Yes, the article fits within a narrative of morals over political leanings, and yes perhaps my statement was indeed naïve. However, I find it respectful for an individual to paint the picture as such and call a spade a spade. Media outlets pick up the rest and make it clickable. His statement, while factually consistent with some research regarding socioeconomic status, fails to correlate many other factors contributing to the issue. Success is not measured in dollars, and her choice to leave, while murky in intension, is indeed commendable based on the issue presented.
