If Hillary Clinton is called ‘Hillary' in stories, why not call Ted Cruz ‘Ted' and Rand Paul ‘Rand'?

Because we already have had a Clinton running for president. That is why George W Bush was known as Dubya, so as not to confuse him with his dad.
Next silly question from the graduate student?

The media doesn’t do that because if they did it would humanize Cruz and Paul. It was Hillary herself who used her first name on her advertising back in ‘08. Like she was Cher or something...

Because “Ted” means Ted Kennedy, and “Rand” means Ayn Rand...

Like she was Cher or something... That's the example I was going to use. Senator Cruz is a leader, so he gets his full name, just like George Patton and George Washington. Hillary is merely a celebrity, so she gets rich for being there just like Beyonce and Cher, but she's also referred to in the same first-name manner as other celebrities.

And
don't call her 'Hillary'.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
So even though all her campaign material calls her Hillary on purpose in an attempt to make her seem less arrogant and elitist, it’s still sexist to call her that? The reason Ted and Rand are not routinely referred to by there first names is because they don’t consistently and persistently refer to themselves by their first names in their literature.

I cannot believe this freakin’ bitch with her 9 gabillion scandals, one as frequently as only a few weeks ago with the 30,000 deleted emails, is seriously being considered for POTUS. It really goes to show how incredibly effed up the left is, it really does. I mean let’s not even talk about the scandals, what has she done other than cash in? She’s accomplished absolutely nothing in her professional life other than get elected and defend rapists including her husband. Other than that, every job she’s ever held she massively screwed up.

But it wouldn’t be sexist or patriarchal to use her father’s surname (Rodham) or her husband’s surname (Clinton)?
These womyn defy logic.

Uh...because that’s how she markets herself? Stupid question.

So why is her official campaign logo a stylized H?

They fear that the names might be mangled by someone [just] like Al Sharpton who recently referenced the Republican from Texas as Ted’s Crew......
