Comment: Ms. Martin:  You are quite right.  Ms Clinton is that person sitting in the front row.  She's always done all the reading.  She's always listening to the prof.  She's always ready with the right answer when the prof asks a question.  She's both bright AND an overachiever.  

Mr. Trump is the combination class clown and bully.  He sits in the back row...arrives late....hasn't done the reading....offers nasty, snide remarks about other students,  belittles the handicapped kid with the stutter, and lets everyone know he's from a really rich family and could "buy and sell" any other student in the class.  He does have a small following of sycophants who would love to be bullies themselves, but can't quite manage it...so, instead, the laugh at his cruel comments and encourage his bullying behavior.  

That bright overachiever is a bit obnoxious...but, you've got to respect her for all the work she does.  The bully/clown, on the other hand, is simply repugnant.
