    I don’t think the issue was targeting the wrong states. There was simply so much money that it was impossible to spend it only on battleground states. The bigger issue is the continued focus on traditional media. To win an election you need an army of online trolls not an ad on tv.

      They had a garbage new media strategy too, they spent a million dollars on a set for a podcast that didn’t break a million views (Joe Rogan’s Trump episode had 37M last I checked). They paid Oprah 6M for her appearance.

      God knows what the Cheneys were charging for their appearances.

      But in any case, the root of the problem was their platform; there is no way even the most talented campaign surrogate can dress up “We’re gonna close the border, be tougher on crime, and give tax breaks to small businesses. We will remain Israel’s closest ally” in a way that increases the democrat’s votes.

        Paid troll farms are not even remotely comparable to the average individual troll. The paid troll farms are more like advanced intelligence operations that use big data and analytics to coordinate and optimize the entire process end to end.

      Are people honestly still blaming troll farms for the loss?
