In 2012 third parties got less than 1.5% of the vote. So Trump and Clinton were competing for a smaller joint share of the electorate.

I think it's because the large number of people who voted in '12 but stayed home in '16 were a bigger factor for Clinton's loss.

Not talking Clinton's loss, which has millions of factors. Talking about certain invalid statistical comparisons.
