Tuesday Tally

Why Aren't I 50 points ahead?! Edition

In any normal year Mr. Trump would be finished. He's not. Why not? Most of the reasons are baked into the the fabric of elections. Let's see:

1-It is very, very hard to replace a president in your own party, ask Algore or Richard Nixon. Its been done twice, Martin Van Buren in 1836 and George Bush in 1988 (breaking the Van Buren Rule).

2-Its a change election. Hillary! is many things. Change ain't one of them.

3-Hillary! is a bad, horrible, no good candidate (why aren't I 50 points ahead?!')

4-The people who really love Mr. Trump, really love Mr. Trump. Nobody actually loves Hillary! Not even Hillary!.

5- Hillary!'s year was 2008 and she blew it.

Bonus: '88 was Boddole's year, he got the nomination in '96. 2000 was John McCain's year, he got the nomination in 2008. 2012 was Jeb! Bush's year and too bad his last name is Bush. Adlai Stevenson never had a year, losing in '52 and '56; he even tried to get the nomination in '60, loser.
