Hillary Clinton reminds me of a Hunger Games character
I've been thinking about it, and she reminds me a lot of "President Alma Coin" from the Hunger Games series

For those who aren't familiar with the character....
Quote:
Alma Coin is a born pragmatist and a ruthless leader. She is rather cold and emotionless.
While Coin seems to be a better leader than Snow, she still turns out to be a complete sociopath. She is very relaxed by nature, and never once loses her temper with anyone. Coin is callous and analytically ruthless to a fault: she does not emotionally react to loss or defeat, and has absolutely no complaints about sending people to their deaths, or worse. Coin also possesses a logical, calculative and subtle intellect, and is a virtually flawless strategist when it comes to propaganda, warfare, politics and democracy. Her confidence, magnetic vocabulary and apparent empathy make her a brilliant public speaker and a master manipulator - her methods are far more subtle than that of President Snow.

I know it may seem silly... But
And mods, please don't close this. I don't support either Trump or Hillary nor I am against them. I'm just pointing out something that I find quite interesting
EDIT: I'm trying to have an actually mature and deep/thoughtful/intriguing conversation with ATRL and someone already reported  this is closely related to Psychology (my major) so, again, I was very interested in this.
I haven't seen anybody been messy so far so I hope this doesn't get closed  .

You calling her a cold sociopath but not being against her  "I love gays but they're going to hell" teas. Guessing you're a Bernie supporter?

Pretty much Divergent and Hunger Games both feature villains similar to Hillary Clinton as a result of her influence. They're based off of her just like how House of Cards, Madam Secretary, The Good Wife, etc. are based of Hillary.
Quote:
Consider Divergent. In the film, Kate Winslet plays a character named Jeanine Matthews. Actually, “character” is too weak a word. “Villain” is more like it. The leader of the brainy Erudite clan, Matthews plots to overthrow the reigning Abnegation government and seize power by injecting into the Dauntless faction a computerized serum that transforms the city’s brave defenders into an army of suggestible, sleepwalking drones. She believes that a strong, hyper-rational central government is the only way to keep human nature’s less savory impulses in check. She takes pains to affect a compassionate, concerned demeanor that nonetheless always feels calculated and self-interested.
Oh, and she just happens to have a Middle-American accent, blonde, bobbed hair, a matronly figure, and a closet full of long, collarless pantsuits.
In short, Matthews looks and acts exactly like Hillary Clinton—or at least Hillary Clinton as imagined by the conservative contingent at Comic Con.
And later this year, Julianne Moore will star in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay—Part 1 as President Alma Coin: another cold, calculating, devious, power-hungry, besuited, light-haired woman leader who “will do whatever it takes to attain her goals.”
Some critics will say that we should interpret the sudden big-screen appearance of Jeanine Matthews, Secretary Delacourt, and President Alma Coin—leaders who happen to resemble Barack Obama’s likeliest successor—as a sign that we’re still very, very uncomfortable with the prospect of putting a woman in charge. What these movies prove, they will add, is that America is still afraid of women like Clinton. Women who are tough, brilliant, and plainly ambitious. Women who don’t conform to society’s sexual expectations. Women who try to run the world rather than seduce it. We are so stressed out about the havoc these women will wreak on the future, the argument will go, that we’ve begun to subconsciously channel our anxieties into science fiction.

Hillary Clinton's influence in popular culture runs extremely deep. She's probably more celebrated/referenced than even the most famous of pop stars like Beyoncé.
