Match the 2016 Candidate to their 1976 Analogue

[mencken]

Hillary Clinton: Gerald Ford (maybe Spiro Agnew?)
Bernie Sanders: Ronald Reagan
Martin O'Malley/Lincoln Chafee/Jim Webb: Charles Mathias
Joe Biden: John Connally
Elizabeth Warren: Barry Goldwater

Donald Trump: George Wallace
Ben Carson: Jimmy Carter
Ted Cruz: Jerry Brown
Jeb Bush: Mo Udall
Marco Rubio: Scoop Jackson
Scott Walker: Birch Bayh
Rand Paul: Frank Church
Mitt Romney: Hubert Humphrey
Carly Fiorina: Ellen McCormack
Lindsey Graham: Robert Byrd
John Kasich: Fred Harris
Rick Perry: Lloyd Bentsen
Mike Huckabee: Terry Sanford
Chris Christie: Milton Shapp
Bobby Jindal: Walter Mondale

[Phony Moderate]

Jerry Brown was/is a budget hawk.

[mencken]

Jerry Brown was/is a budget hawk.

Maybe switch Kasich and Cruz?

[Kingpoleon]

Jerry Brown was/is a budget hawk.

Maybe switch Kasich and Cruz?

Possibly. Brown makes Kasich look normal in terms of personality though, so in that he's closer to Cruz. Harris isn't the best fit for Kasich either. Personally, I would have gone with Udall or Carter for Kasich, and Harris for an extremist Southerner for Cruz.

The OP actually seems pretty accurate, though the GOP better hope that it doesn't nominate Jindal for VP.

Rick Perry: Josef Beck
Scott Walker: Philippe Petain
Ted Cruz: Benito Mussolini
Ben Carson: Josef Stalin
Jeb Bush: Neville Chamberlain
Rand Paul: Edward Benes
Carly Fiorina: Winston Churchill
John Kasich: Franklin Roosevelt
Chris Christie: Archduke Franz Ferdinand
Marco Rubio: Charles de Gaulle
Mike Huckabee: Francisco Franco

Bernie Sanders: Hideki Tojo
Hillary Clinton: Chiang Kai-Shek
Joe Biden: Mao Tse-Tung
Martin O'Malley: Wang Jingwei

[OSR stands with Israel]

Taking on a darker note:

Rick Perry: Josef Beck

Ben Carson: Josef Stalin
Jeb Bush: Neville Chamberlain
Rand Paul: Edward Benes
Carly Fiorina: Winston Churchill
John Kasich: Franklin Roosevelt
Chris Christie: Archduke Franz Ferdinand
Marco Rubio: Charles de Gaulle
Mike Huckabee: Francisco Franco

So John Kasich is FDR ,

[OSR stands with Israel]

Jeb Bush: Neville Chamberlain
Rand Paul: Edward Benes
Carly Fiorina: Winston Churchill Dieppe Raid

This modified interpretation makes slightly more sense, although I think it is far more likely that the primary race parallels The Man in the High Castle for this analogy to come true.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Lindsey Graham would obviously be Scoop Jackson.

Looks like we witnessed Stalingrad/El Alamein last night.
