Ever since Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, political spectators have been wondering how it happened. She was supposed to win by a landslide.

Now Democrats are debating which of their candidates is most "electable." They're afraid to nominate another Hillary Clinton. But no one can agree on why she lost. Was it because of globalization, sexism, populism, or Russian interference?

Eighty-four years of electoral history show that Trump's victory was not at all surprising. In fact, it was entirely predictable.

In our forthcoming book, Personality Wins: Who Will Take the White House and How We Know, we show that personality has determined the winner of the last twenty-two U.S. presidential elections, and it will decide who wins in 2020.

Policy, platform, and ideology just don't seem to matter. Ever since the rise of radio, followed by TV and social media, undecided voters have been drawn to the bigger personality.

There are many systems for categorizing personalities. Most involve a smorgasbord of letters that no one can remember. Let's use a system that is easy to apply to presidential politics. All you need to remember is four birds: Eagle, Parrot, Dove, and Owl. In brief:

Jefferson (proto Democrat): Was a slave owner
Jackson: Ditto plus he killed Indians

They would get zero votes from current democrats and therefore would not beat Trump. Massive Black vote for Trump. ;-D

Never mind that they would be supporting Trump because they were not communists.

Truman was a terrible President and failed haberdasher, Trump would eat him alive. If Dewey wasn’t such an establishment loser Truman would have been gone in 1948.

JFK was a pervert with serious medical problems, Trump would eat him alive with all his secrets out in the open. Actually, Nixon would have eaten him alive if all his secrets were out in the open. He was banging a Nazi spy.
