?My feeling always has been, what I saw in the primaries, was that Donald Trump did very well. He beat a large field. According to my metric, about how primaries are shaping up, he did better than Hillary Clinton in the Democratic race, so that gave him a leg up,? he said, leading to his prediction seven months ago that Trump would win the election.
If you go back to 1912, when we had presidential elections with a good number of primaries ? that?s about a hundred years, quite a few elections ? if you compare the candidates based on their performance in primaries, you?ll find that the candidate who was stronger in the primaries wins the general election,? Norpoth elaborated. ?That was the case in 1912, with Taft against Wilson, and you find it in many elections since then. It?s that kind of historical irregularity, that I think is in play, that puts Trump ahead.
