You know, something didn’t occur to me about the latest ‘Hillary talked no policy in any thing, worst campaign EVARRR!!’ histrionics, and it took Eric Boehlert to point it out to me:
@EricBoehlert Did you see Vox’s report on her campaign’s Advertising 101 fail? Because that’s important to the analysis too, maybe more so.

i thought it was meh; does anyone think 2016 was decided on TV ads? i.e. Trump won and barely ran any ads. https://t.co/lW4gLJfOYb

Seriously, Trump ran almost no ads and subsisted on the free coverage lorded and lavished upon him by news media hungry for the ratings he brought. Often, again as I pointed out before, to the detriment of Clinton when she was actually speaking policy at campaign appearances and pressers.
But I guess Trump won and Hillary is the one true recognized Anti-Christ of All-Time so I guess the point is moot?
