What’s it like to be the ‘other’ Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump?

This is what happens when you share a name with a presidential candidate.

In August 2015 Inova Health System posted a YouTube video to introduce the world to Dr. Donald L. “Skip” Trump, CEO of the Inova Dwight and Martha Schar Cancer Institute in Falls Church, Va.

Right below the video, a viewer named “Barack Obeezy” snarked, “He’s gonna make my prostate great again.”

This year, sharing a name with two of the most unpopular people to ever run for the White House is a real pain in the booth.

CNN found the non-candidate Hillary Clinton, a 20-something who works for a music festival promoter in New Orleans.

She was not named after the former first lady. But shortly after the other Hillary became first lady in 1993, this millennial’s mother wrote to FLOTUS and said, “How interesting to learn of another Hillary Clinton!”

FLOTUS replied: “Perhaps we will meet sometime in the future.”

Clinton the millennial told CNN that sometimes her emails to performing artists and their agents “get ignored and I have to send multiple follow-ups. People think I’m part of the campaign or they think it’s spam.

Her Facebook account has been suspended so many times out of suspicion that it’s fake that she just goes by “Hill Clinton” now.

Dr. Trump has had numerous contacts with the guy who shares his name.

He told CNN that in 2010 the future candidate called and asked Dr. Trump to pull some strings on behalf of the son of a close friend hoping to get into a clinical trial in Buffalo where the doctor was working at the time.

“I’m happy to say that neither Mr. Trump nor I had any impact on that decision,” Dr. Trump told CNN. “That process and the entry of the young man on the clinical trial was well underway when I received the call.”

He said he met the real estate tycoon later at Trump Tower in New York, where he found him to be engaging, not as flamboyant as he appears now on the campaign trail, and “clearly successful and wasn’t unhappy to make sure I knew he was successful.”

Dr. Trump says that he’s been teased for years about his famous name, but during this election season many of the comments have been ones of sympathy.

“It’s interesting. In some ways they’ve been less irritating and less intense,” he told The Washington Post, which noted that the “mild-mannered” doctor looks more like Democratic vice presidential hopeful Tim Kaine in person than he does Trump.

“I think the reactions I get when I introduce myself, or give my credit card or passport at TSA are more sympathetic than they ever have before.”

Trump, however, won’t be getting a vote from Trump. Dr. Trump’s politics lean left, and he’s voting for Clinton — the former secretary of state, not the concert promoter in New Orleans.

That Clinton won’t be voting for Trump, either, because, she told CNN, she is “scared of him.”

But she’s not sure, either, that she wants to perpetuate any more trouble for herself by helping that other Hillary become president.

“I’m screwed either way,” she told CNN.
