Harry Potter and the Presidential Race of 2016

[Infinite Citadel]

Imagine you wake up tomorrow and learn that Harry Potter was real and not fiction. The magical community has finally revealed itself to us filthy muggles, and Hogwarts has decided to give prominent muggles honorary membership in one of their four houses.

The next few polls will be about prominent politicians due to the ~US~ election, however if people are interested in the idea and have an interesting figure just post it here -- if your recommendation/post gets more than 3 upvotes I'll make a poll with it hopefully (this idea could fall flat on its face and I won't continue it for the sake of continuing it). 

First up: If Hilary Clinton was sorted into a Hogwarts house, which house would it be?

 

[Adolinia]

Slytherin's prime virtue is Ambition.  HRC is ambition given physical form.  I don't see how there can be any doubt about this.

 

[M'ilord🎯]

She is definitely a snek. 

 

[Infinite Citadel]

Slytherin's prime virtue is Ambition.  HRC is ambition given physical form.  I don't see how there can be any doubt about this.

It was a toss up between Ravenclaw and Slytherin for me -- she's incredibly smart/adept (Ravenclaw) at the political game, but has the ambition for power that most politicians have (Slytherin). Ultimately went with Ravenclaw to make the poll more interesting :v

 

[Floating Hippo]

Trump up next. 

 

[Rogue]

I went ravenclaw due to the intelligence and anyways seeking information, as information = power, expecially in politics

 

[Kayser]

Its Slytherin, no contest. . 

 

[RoboMonkey]

I feel like most politicians are slytherin. People like Sanders and Warren, maybe Paul Ryan and Gary Johnson I could see as Gryffindor or Hufflepuff

 

[Gabranth]

Slytherin because she's a Reptillian, need I say more?

 

[Patrick MacFarlane]

I chose Ravenclaw because she seems more the intelligent and cunning type. 

Sytherin would incorporate some of the manipulation and sly nature I would expect to see with politicians and in a blunt manner at that. But she is subtle about these, as much as she can be. So I think she favors Ravenclaw a little more

 

[Big Brother]

I voted Gryffindor because I figure you have to be pretty brave to be the first woman President of the United States. I'm not a fan or anything but she does have balls, so to speak.

 

[Patrick MacFarlane]

I went and did this on Mr. Trump's poll so I will come back and do it here as well. Who knows, maybe my original vote may be wrong.  All categories are 1-5, 1 being not present and 5 being very apparent. Everyone, please feel free to critique. I am trying to be as objective as possible and I think I'm in a good position to do so as I do not support democrats or republicans.

Gryffindor

• Brave: 3 
  
   Neutral here, running for the Presidency does take some bravery though
  

[*]Sometimes Impulsive: 1

• 
   Everything she does is scripted and carefully planned by the political machine that is the Democratic party
  

[*]Adventurous: 2

• 
   She is running for president and served as Secretary of State but I wouldn't call those "adventurous"
  

[*]Honourable/Loyal to all: 3

• 
  The email scandal kind of turns the knob down on this one a bit, in my opinion
  

Hufflepuff

• Hard-Work: 5
  
   Whether you agree with her or not, her time as Sec. of State and now this campaign are not easy
  

[*]Dedication: 5

• 
    Again, servant to the nation at several levels and they haven't been easy jobs
  

[*]Fair-Player: 4

• 
   She's in politics, we all know she plays hard-ball from time to time. It comes with the territory
  

[*]Value others' feelings: 3

• 
   I feel as though her targetting of minorities for this election is simply a ruse. I don't feel as though she is as passionate about these minority groups' rights as she says she is and Sander's felt the same way.
  

Ravenclaw

• Cunning: 5
  
  "having or showing skill in achieving one's ends by deceit or evasion." I have said this from the beginning! Clinton is sly and she knows what to say to play the game the "right" way and get Her own way
  

[*]Wise: 5

• 
    Her knowledge of politics and government cannot be questioned. And with that, she represents the traditional, establishment, last-generation political wisdom that many older American's are looking for whether they like her or not. 
  

[*]Creative: 1

• 
   It just isn't there. All teleprompter, all script, all calculated moves to what she hopes is a checkmate on Trump. 
  

[*]Know-it-all: 4

• 
   She's a politician agressively running for office. Need I say more?
  

Slytherin

•  Prideful: 2
  
    She definitely has it but I don't think she wears it on her sleeve like Trump. Going back to her cunning above, she knows what to keep on the down-low
  

[*]Ambitious: 5

• 
   She is aimed at the White House like an ICBM. 
  

[*]Loyal to their own: 5

• 
   Can anyone question her deep-rooted loyalty to the Democratic Party? Their leader took the fall for the party's bias and Clinton rewarded her for it.
  

[*]Arrogant: 4

• 
    I feel like she, as well as Democrats in general, are much to confident about victory in November. She looks down her nose at Trump and thinks there is just no way he could even compare to her in the general election. 
  

Final Score: 

Gryffindor:     9/20

Hufflepuff:    17/20

Ravenclaw: 15/20

Slytherin:     16/20

A two point spread between everything except Gryffindor. I would like to get someone else's input on some of these numbers so we can have a more definitive winning house.
