Is the 2016 election more similar to 1948 or 1976?

[Peanut]

Neither.  2016 mirrors 1960 the most.  An experienced candidate politically with wealth and celebrity type appeal.

Trump is no Jack Kennedy.

He is more like Kennedy than Hillary was. Trump is one of the best campaigners/political debaters in decades despite what the far left thinks. He has charisma and appeal.

Sorry, but no, he's not. He's no Jack Kennedy, he's no Barack Obama, heck, he's not even as good a campaigner as Dubya. Sure, he's able to fire up a rally. But you cannot claim to be "one of the best campaigners in decades" while losing the PV by 2%. This election was decided because the last week's press cycle was anti-Hillary. If Access Hollywood had come in November 1st, he'd've gotten wiped out. And he's not a good debater, at that, Hillary beat him easily in the first, he may have eked it out in the second, and she beat him again in the third. He got through the primaries on a plurality of the vote. His performance wasn't based on him being the perfect candidate, but rather on Hillary being the wrong one.
