        Study also confirms reporting no Dem ads until last week in MI, 2nd to last in WI. Trump's closing ad was creepy--but effective.pic.twitter.com/X1TLsbl9WE

        still doesn't explain PA which was the lynchpin. Clearly lots of mistakes in MI and WI but wouldn't have changed the result.

        The larger arg is Hillary ran far fewer policy ads than any candidate in recent history. Maybe that explains it?

        With the margin what it was, any counterfactual can potentially change the result.

        Some with better basis than others. I do hope Dems start talking policy going forward, which they're not doing. @brohamand

        I know you've got a hobby horse to beat but are you really pretending *any* ad strategy post-Comey would've worked for HRC?

        Well, her closing ad sucked ass. Trump's was quite good. That's all MI saw, at all. So maybe a GOOD ad would = 11,000 votes?

        Bollocks. That shows nothing of the sort. Also, late decider rates were different for different states.

        Nope. Comey was the inflection point in the race. She won 3 debates, talked about those issues you mention incessantly, big lead

        You do know not everyone watched those debates? Hillary spent $900M on ads not taking on Trump on policy.
