John Quincy Adams=Bernie Sanders
Henry Clay=Hillary Clinton (former member of other party, war hawk, ran and lost too many times, same initials, Secretary of State, popularity in E. Ohio and KY in primary -this analogy is both better and worse than the others, and HRC is also partially analagous to Calhoun)
Andrew Jackson=Donald Trump
Crawford=Ted Cruz

Bernie is not a good analogy to Clay. Henry Clay is probably the toughest figure to analogize to the present day. Adams fulfilled the cranky old ultra-liberal stereotype by entering Congress after losing his re-election bid.
