Funny how we'd be talking about Trump had he lost as many expected, wouldn't we?
McGovern, Mondale, and Dukakis were uniquely bad. Stevenson and Goldwater didn't do very much either. Al Gore lost even though he won the popular vote, but at the same time he over performed by a large margin than expected so I wouldn't include him as much. Then there was John Kerry who picked up 2 states, won all 3 debates, won the Democratic Primary by one of the largest margins in modern history, campaigned against a mediocre manufacturing sector, and an unpopular war in Iraq. Yet Kerry still found a way to lose. Hillary Clinton might take the cake though. She led Obama by over 30 in 2008, but lost to him once the primaries started. In 2016 she led Sanders by over 60 and it still became a race. Then in August she led Trump by 17 and found a way to lose.
