What would happen if Romney and Trump were nominated in opposite years? How would Trump do against the popular incumbent president and who would win the 2016 election? Please discuss.
Trump resides an anti-establishment wave to win the nomination in 2012, and while his populism is appealing to some, he is unable to defeat the charismatic and popular Obama.
Obama: 346 (52%)Trump: 192 (44%)[Clinton uses similar tactics against Romney (as Obama did in 2012) but to lesser success. Clinton's likeability and trustworthiness is a factor, and with Romney running as a turnaround guy who can fix Washington, he easily defeats Clinton.
