      1. There's one way Trump's unpopularity distinguishes him from earlier unpopular candidates like Goldwater & McGovern.

      2. With Goldwater & McGofern, even people who intensely disliked their politics could find something to personally like about the candidates

      3. Goldwater was a guileless straight-shooter. McGovern a war hero & earnest populist. Hard to deny some decency or virtue.

      4. Trump is polarizing not just politically but also personally. Liking his politics overlaps strongly with liking him as a person.

      @HeerJeet Problem is that, as we saw in primary, had to chip at core supporters if politics strongly connected to personal appeal.

      @SER1897 Right. But in national election, his core supporters not enough to win him election.

          @HeerJeet 1. Clinton's unfavorables make this hard race to predict. As @ForecasterEnten pointed out, both candidates UFs historically high

          @HeerJeet Do enough NeverTrump-ers decide to vote *against* Clinton? Do enough Sanders supporters stay home?

          @HeerJeet As a NeverTrump, I'm scared of polls showing Clinton well ahead. Fear it will encourage liberals to stay home.
