31. If Trump's opponents had the name recognition equal to Williamson and Phillips, he'd have gotten 80+ percent.

Ramaswamy got less than 1 percent of the vote in the primaries in which he ran. What do you think the vote would have been in a straight Trump v. Ramaswamy contest? And what do you think Joe's vote would be if he faced Bernie and/or Gavin Newsom in the primaries? It certainly wouldn't be 90 percent.

My point, again, is that comparing Trump's performance to Joe's is comparing apples and oranges.
