This sounds like you are saying that the Trump campaign did something underhanded or perhaps even illegal. What it indicates instead is that Clinton's people were not very smart. Despite out spending Trump almost 2 to 1 Clinton lost. Obviously Trump's money was spent more wisely. There was nothing stopping Hillary's people from 'gaming the system' in a likewise fashion. The truth of the matter is that Robby Mook was out played by Brad Parscale and Kellyanne Conway.

Of course there are other factors as well. Eight years of the Obama administration and Clinton's very flawed character can't be ignored. I am afraid that the Democrats are going to repeat their mistake and bet on another tired old political warhorse who should have been put out to pasture. Biden's train of political baggage is impossible to hide. Gonna be an interesting campaign.
