Not sure where it's from but I saw it from three different people (ostensibly) which means its likely a talking point.

"Trump has to convince people he's not Hitler, but Hillary has to convince people she isn't Hillary."

Seems a bit over-confident, but damn if it doesn't also ring somewhat true to me as a Hoosier. I've never seen such vile hatred of a candidate in my life and I don't mean Trumpkin.
