Republican most/least like Hilary?

I think it depends what you are measuring.

If it's her stance on issues, Donald Trump is slightly more liberal than her and thus closest. Ted Cruz is the most conservative candidate running and is therefore least like her.

If it's personal attributes, Donald Trump is the most like her - calculating, dishonest, shady while Jeb Bush is the least like her.

If it's her experience, then John Kasich is the closest given his 18 years in Washington, while Jeb Bush is the least like her given his experience outside Washington and in the private sector.

There are issues where Trump is more liberal than her, but that doesn't make him closer to her.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both have supported socialized medicine, higher taxes on the wealthy and companies that "outsource," the pro-choice position, a pathway to legal status for folks here illegally, domestic partnership rights for same-sex couples, protectionist trade policies, and gun control.

Another similarity - both don't claim to hold those positions today because they flip-flop for political reasons.
