This draft has two failed presidential nominees and one VP. I just read a book that compared Trump to Vardaman. George W Norris was the nephew of my great-great grandfather. As such, he's my 1st cousin many times removed. My great-great grandfather was also Sen. Norris's teacher. My great-great-great grandfather, the brother of Norris's mother, was the executor on Norris's father's will.

I've seen James Blaine being compared to Trump as well.

Charles Curtis really deserves more recognition. He was 3/8 Native American. Thus, he was the first VP that had non-European ancestry.
