This is a trivia site, not someplace for political arguments. But since you started it, 90% of the things attributed to Hillary are made up lies, perpetuated by the Reublican party to discredit her and her husband, it is a typical Republican strategy repeat a lie enough times and people will begin to believe it, right out of Hitler's play book. When you have been under the public eye for as many years as she has, not much gets by anyone, she is an open book. THE DONALD however has plenty of verified dirt against him. He has perpetuated his fortune by scamming small businesses by declaring bankruptcy and being dishonest and deceitful. His tactics are divide and conquer. Hillary promotes unity. I trust her with the codes, can you say the same for Trump?

Rick Shomin Actually, it's raising them the way you want. Grover Cleveland was Frances' godfather and was a major figure in her life from the day she was born, actually helping her mother raise her after her father (his law partner) died.

Ms. Cleveland was a lovely young woman. Society has changed, but it is still a little uncomfortable to think about such a young woman married to someone so much older and more powerful.
