3. Interesting Anecdote!
I appreciated the historical anecdote, Captain Hilts! :)

Is it possible that Cleveland telling a young(ish) FDR that he hoped he never lived in the White House gave him a bit of a motivation to push for the presidency?

Cleveland and FDR were rather polar opposites in terms of ideology. Cleveland's economic policies were closer to the modern Libertarians than it was to FDR or even Clinton's centrist policies.
