There are a lot of similarities and overlap in their ideology on major topics, there were also a number of people from within Obama's administration who were a part of her campaign, this was by design. Obama was invested in a Democrat succeeding him and Hilary knew it was not smart to distance herself too far from him and risk losing big support from the party. This is why you have several posters here who believe that she was intentionally running a campaign as his third term. But there were things that she would not openly take a position on which leads to believe she felt differently about, Keystone Pipeline, TPP and Medicare for-all.

The big difference between the two is in foreign policy (she's more heavy handed), taxes and regulations on Wall Street (she wouldn't push very hard, he would only push a little further past her - neither of them seemed to really want to engage the Street) and the Presidency itself (he believed in his cabinet and officials having more autonomy, while she believed in being very involved and "micromanaging").
That's mostly a difference in governing style. Also, Clinton is way more politically connected than Obama was before becoming president.

Hillary was involved in DC politics for 23 years before 2016. Obama had only been involved in DC politics for 4 years before becoming president.

The bad news is that Trump’s diagnosis of the problem seems to be somewhat underpowered. Jonathan Swan reports that Trump is blaming his predicament on bad advice from Jared Kushner. And while disregarding advice from Kushner is a generally sound principle, in this case, Kushner’s strategy made some sense. Trump regrets having followed the Kushner-led ploy of trying to appeal to Black voters. “One person who spoke with the president interpreted his thinking this way: “No more of Jared’s woke shyt,” reports Swan.

The “woke shyt” consisted of a series of high-profile, relatively symbolic measures, like touting funding for HBCUs, and a handful of clemency measures. Trump’s campaign spent $10 million on a Super Bowl ad highlighting his commutation of a sentence for nonviolent drug offender Alice Johnson.

So Trump has pivoted back to raw white racial grievance. He is retweeting video of random Black people attacking white people, urging New York police to (illegally) remove a “Black Lives Matter” sign — which he calls a “symbol of hate” — and threatening to veto a bipartisan defense-authorization bill because it would rename military bases that currently honor Confederate leaders."

Any Black person that votes for Trump should get their ass kicked :wow:
