re: #75 Anymouse

In the meantime, Mrs. Clinton was nowhere to be seen in ND, SD, only once in NE in Omaha (four hundred miles from me), WY, ID, OK, KS, &c.

See all those electoral votes I noted above that the Democrats ceded because they didn’t even try. They didn’t even take out newspaper adverts here.

The Republicans did all of that. Trump or his surrogates were in every one of those states. There were adverts in every newspaper that runs here.

The Democrats ran a campaign for the coasts, and ceded enough electoral votes for half of California. Take even part of those states above away from the (R) column, and we might have had a chance.

The Dem strategy is apparently, “Write off the Midwest, except Illinois and maybe Missouri, because the GOP has a lock on those states.” It’s short sighted and, as we can see, a losing strategy.
