Casual theorizing: what if presidential elections today are so heavily weighted to personality that Trump wins on that alone? When Joe manages to have a personality these days, it's just frustration and anger and looking forlorn and tired. Last time, Trump ran against thoroughly unlikable Clinton. Before Trump, we had Obama vs Romney & McCain, Bush vs Kerry & Gore, Clinton vs Dole & Bush. I'm barely old enough to remember the elections before that, and of course personality has always been a factor. Is it possible, with video footage of the candidates so ever-present, that personality trumps anything else? Or has it always been true?
