- Hillary ‘08 vs. Hillary ’16: Like in 2008, Clinton faces problems with the media. However unlike her previous campaign, she is capitalizing on her gender and reaching out to females, according to Alberta.
- Socialist Sanders: Callers feel that Bernie Sanders will take the Democratic nomination due to his loyalty to the far left, whereas Hillary tends to remain moderate and avoids polarization.
