(Dennis Cook/AP)   BY JAMES HOHMANN with Breanne Deppisch and Joanie Greve THE BIG IDEA:  Paying tribute to the late Barbara Bush on Wednesday, Donald Trump noted she was married to George H.W. Bush for 73 years.  “I’ll never beat that record,” said the president, who has been married three times and faces allegations that he cheated on his third wife with a Playboy centerfold shortly after the birth of their son. That’s not the only difference between them. -- Thirty years ago, in 1988, Mrs. Bush persuaded her husband to visit an AIDS clinic during his presidential campaign and acknowledge the epidemic ravaging the country. Then, just two months after becoming first lady, she paid a historic visit to one of the nation's first homes created to car

His public schedule puts him in the South Coast city at 7 p.m. for a Chamber of Commerce legislative reception, while Polito's last event on her sched
