This article analyzes the reasons that Trump failed to capitalize on the advantages he had going into the campaign. For example the article points out the following:
"Trump began with three big advantages. The Democrats were seeking a third consecutive term in the White House, something that a political party has achieved only twice in the past 80 years . In addition, economic growth and income gains remain sluggish. Plus, the Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, a politician from the past with high unfavorable ratings, couldn’t easily represent the desire for change. For these reasons, many models based on “fundamentals” that predict election results favored a generic Republican candidate this year."
It appears because of his inability to learn from others, he has squandered those advantages he had as he approached the Republican National Convention.
