Jerry Brown vs. Hillary Clinton

[President Johnson]

Well? Who would you prefer?

I voted Brown easily. The best sitting governor in the country.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Brown, obviously.

Jerry Brown (D), though doing more homework on mr. Brown makes him less than ideal as is - he's a political chameleon of entirely different form. Brown was considered "more fiscally conservative than Reagan" during his time as Governor of California, and practiced very serious budget restraint, even gaining the endorsement of anti-tax hero Harold Jarvis after making serious cuts in order to balance California's budget following passage of Prop 13. That being said, he was also very strong on enviormental issues and opposed capital punishment. He ran as "The Era of Limits" candidate and Mr. Austerity in 1980, losing very badly.

He then ran in 1992 after a weird 12 year break with a whole wonky clowncar of policies - a flat tax, fair trade, a bag of anti-establishment policies. Break now to 2017 - Brown has made peace with the establishment and is basically the model for Elder Statesmen in the Democratic Party.

He's a fascinating figure, an interesting politician, but almost certainly not a model in consistent leadership.

It would depend on which incarnation of Jerry Brown was running.

Candidate Jerry (c. 1992) > Governor Jerry (c. 1976) > Francis Ford Coppola Jerry (c. 1980) > Hillary > Modern Jerry (c. 2017)

While I could dissect each by year, with FLOTSOAR! Hillary easily being leaps and bounds over Jerry Brown in any form if I go by mere policy ideas and personality, but 1992 Candidate! Brown being miles ahead of any Hillary past that point, etc., etc....

I have to give it to Brown because the guy always talks straight, the man had a definitive vision for things, and when he did switch positions in any sort of way, one never got the feeling that it was done for mere expediency. And the results have almost always ended up good.

I am Governor Jerry Brown

My aura smiles and never frowns

Soon I will be President...

[LLR]

I guess Zioneer beat me to the California Uber Alles reference, but Brown for sure.

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

Clinton.
