This is just devastating news. All this time we thought he was on our side, and now we learn he was related to a past Republican President.

And God forbid, he was also related to William Henry Harrison. That damn 3rd Party the Whigs. The Greens of the 1840s.

3. According to Ancestry.com, I'm related to Clinton. And GWBush.

And several other presidents. And dozens of presidents' wives, lol.

My fave, however, is that I am a direct descendant of Geoffrey Chaucer, lol. Who knows if the research is sound? It's fun to imagine.....

4. Worse yet, he was also related to the Bushes

The Pilgrims have millions of descendants in the United States today. One of them was the ancestor of FDR and the Bushes, and me (mixed feelings about that, obviously).

5. Another reason to not support Hillary, obviously.

Deep, serious :sarcasm:
