Jack Johnson and John Jackson elections happen a lot. Which candidate would be the John Jackson to her Jack Johnson?

By contract who is the least similar to the inevitable Madam?

Sadly, I'd say the most similar is Chris Christie - early frontrunners surrounded by an "air of scandal" (certainly much more to Christie's detriment than Hillary's), considered moderates within their parties and hailed as being able to "expand the map" early in their candidacies, due to their time in the Governor's mansion in deep red/blue states (Arkansas and New Jersey).

Most dissimilar is Trump - thought to be the longest of longshots, is experiencing a huge surge in the polls at the expense of support from minorities and the party's elite. The RNC will stop at nothing to ensure Trump is not the nominee, and while I assume the DNC wouldn't mind Sanders winning fair-and-square, they'll certainly be much more happy with Clinton.

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.
