Should be fun watching the anti-Trumpeteer GOPe jackboots foam @ the mouth over this one. Lol.

[BigEdLB]

Oh oh, I did my tree several years back, and this means I related to them both too through my mother’s side, who also has John of Gaunt as an ancestor... BOW IN MY PRESENCE, LOL

[Cowboy Bob]

19th cousins? I bet half the country if probable 19th cousins of either Hillary or Trump.

[Verginius Rufus]

So Hillary is descended from William the Bastard, Duke of Normandy...as well as being married to William the Bastard, former POTUS.

[4rcane]

Bill Clinton and George Bush are also distant cousins

[Leep]

Hillary must have got the cankle branch of the family tree.

[oldbrowser]

Bill Clinton and George Bush are also distant cousins

We are all distant cousins.

[Leep]

Otherwise, i just assumed Bill and Hillary were 1rst cousins?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

It would seem that 14th century 1st Duke of Lancaster John of Gaunt was a rather prolific old gent.

Katherine Swynford de Roet (1350 - 1403)
is Mrs. Submareener’s 16th great grandmother

Katherine Swynford de Roet
Submareener’s 17th great grandmother

So we are both cousins to everyone. :-)

...so obuma and tranny michael are cousins also?....

[Bringbackthedraft]

Yee olde 6 degree of separation? I am a distant relative of an Arch Duke of Prussia on my grandmother’s side. So what? Where’s all my inheritance?? My wife’s family had a castle, if we knew where it was, we could lay claim to the gold buried under it from the crusades. I’m resigned to being just another working American supporting those who aren’t.

[SubMareener]

Here she is:

Go back far enough and probably find that if our ancestors are Eurasian we all share Grampa Genghis and are all “distant” cousins.

[arthurus]

And Genghis is “royalty,” too.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Both are royal a**holes!

[Slyfox]

You laugh but I am going to give this b!tch a run for her money in a few months.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Meet Donald who’s built most everywhere
From Jersey’s shore to old Times Square
While Hillary provides the sights
Of pantsuits that are way too tight
What a crazy pair

Cause they’re cousins
Nonsensical cousins and you’ll find

They do not like
To give the mike
Back to the TV anchor dike

You can lose your mind
When cousins
Are this unaligned

[BigEdLB]

No TV. No Major League Sports. Dinner only takes an hour. Ya know, there is one thing folks could do in those days...
;)

Personally this doesn't bother me. The only relationship Trump has with Clinton that bother me are his donations to her campaigns and Clinton Foundation. As far as GOPe. Go Cruz.
