Little Rock, Arkansas (CNN) -- Hillary Clinton is the prohibitive favorite for the Democrats' presidential nomination in 2016. And there are countless political operatives with opinions on how she should run her all-but-certain campaign.

That combination has led to tons of unsolicited advice thrown at the former secretary of state, some of it counter intuitive and a lot of contradictory. Here are the five pieces of unsolicited advice being volleyed regularly at Hillary Clinton:

President Barack Obama took most of the blame for Democrats' losses on Nov. 4. So shortly after Election Day, a cacophony of anonymous allies were telling Clinton to run away from the president she served under for four years.

"She is not President Obama. Let's not forget, they were a team of rivals," one ally told The Hill. "Now is the time to further enunciate these differences."

Clinton allies expressed similar sentiments to CNN. The thinking goes that if the president is unpopular, Clinton should start distance herself now, as opposed to months down the road when it may be harder.

2.) Run to Obama

Clinton allies have also been telling reporters that because Republican pickups in Senate create a larger target for both her and the President, it would make sense for them to join forces.

"President Obama's legacy is now entirely dependent on the election of a Democratic successor as president who will protect and extend it, not demolish it," David Brock, the chairman of a pro-Clinton super PAC, told the Washington Post.
