   Which real life persons in YOUR OWN LIFE do Trump and Hillary REPRESENT to you?
   
   The emotion generated by this campaign seems deeper than most elections. Let's assume that there is something PSYCHOLOGICAL connected to this campaign for EACH OF US.  Let's assume it's like a dream in which the actors are SYMBOLS for people OTHER than who they are in the dream. We've analyzed the social "what-s", but I'm interested in the "WHO-s"  Analyzing my own emotion, I know exactly who those real people (and beliefs) are and why I've attached my feelings toward THEM to these candidates. I'm NOT looking for groups they represent,but (anonymous INDIVIDUALS YOU KNOW in your own life).

   There were THREE supervisors who WERE identifiable to Donald Trump.  They were arrogant & egotistical, thought they were better than anyone else; however, they showed how "superior" they are- they were inept, stupid morons who didn't know what they were doing.  Those supervisors were laughable & I IGNORED anything they said.  To me, they were personae non gratae.  Don't know any real life people like Hillary.

      Ah, exactly what I wanted to explore Grace.  I find this fascinating.  I think I'll make a hub about this and include mine there. The undeserved money that accompanied lack of intelligence in relatives I've observed does it for me. Thank you so much!

   Trump reminds me of my ex-husband in the last few years of our marriage after he became an alcoholic and drug addict. He became a womanizer who made up things about me and lied to our children to make himself look better.
   Since I was distantly acquainted with Hillary when the Clintons lived in the Governor's Mansion, it would be hard to compare anyone to her because she has changed (matured) with the years. However, there was a woman in my childhood church who was so forceful and commanded so much respect that she was actually given some of the same privileges that all-male deacons were given. This was a Baptist church, so a woman's being asked to say the benediction  was going straight through the church's glass ceiling in the 1950s and 60s. (Please note that I'm not comparing them as far as religion goes, just what they accomplished in their eras.)
