If predicting the outcome in November wasn’t hard enough with the two candidates with the highest disapproval ratings having won their respective party’s nomination for president (assuming Hillary Clinton actually winds up winning hers), consider this:
Both Donald Trump and former Secretary Clinton have done their best in primaries in states that are solid for the other party. Former Secretary Clinton’s biggest wins have been in the south; Donald Trump’s in New England and New York.
Which makes you think the election in November might wind up being the political equivalent of the 1945 World Series between the Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers. With their war-depleted rosters, Chicago sportswriter Warren Brown famously said: “I don't think either one of them is good enough to win it.”
