its so true elections go in cycles not by the person, thats why we tend to have 2 terms of one party then 2 terms of another, when the cycle is disrupted things go weird, it didn't matter than donald trump was the nominee the republican was going to win no matter what. there are people with this theory who have predicted outcomes with extreme accuracy.
