"On top of that, his personal life was a mess:
Although he was still living with his wife, he was aggressively courting a 25-year-old woman who was as beautiful as she was rich."1
He left his first wife "who had been crippled in a car accident - in favour of a trophy bride to enhance his political ambitions."2
"In 1979 at a military reception in Honolulu, McCain met Cindy Hensley, an attractive 25-year-old woman from a very wealthy politically-connected Arizona family. Cindy's father, Jim, founded the Hensley and Company, the nation's third-largest Anheuser-Busch distributor.
McCain described their first meeting, "She was lovely, intelligent and charming, 17 years my junior but poised and confident. I monopolized her attention the entire time, taking care to prevent anyone else from intruding on our conversation. When it came time to leave the party, I persuaded her to join me for drinks at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. By the evening's end, I was in love."While still married to Carol, McCain began an adulterous relationship with Cindy. He married Cindy in May 1980 -- just a month after dumping Carol and securing a divorce. The newlyweds honeymooned in Hawaii.McCain followed his young, millionairess wife back to Arizona where her father helped catapult McCain into politics."3
"In 1989,
Cindy McCain became addicted to opioid painkillers such as Percocet and Vicodin,<25> which she initially took to alleviate pain following two spinal surgeries for ruptured discs<26><27> and
to ease emotional stress during the Keating Five scandal,<25> which involved her as a bookkeeper who had difficulty finding receipts.<15> The addiction progressed to where
she resorted to stealing drugs from her own AVMT.<26> During 1992, Tom Gosinski, the director of government and international affairs for AVMT, discovered her drug theft.<28>"4
