content: I've said this before, but her taking a risk to keep him close makes no sense based on SMV or from the lense of power politics. By all appearances he's White, a nobody, and is unattractive. He brings nothing to the table. If she were single she would have the opportunity to marry up, or be an strong single woman or be with someone more diverse enhancing her image.  I think that despite appearances that he is one of her handlers.
