And what ultimately hurt Clinton the most? Character.

So, what does that say about your linked article and the election?

I think it was a mistake to try to beat Trump on character - too easy to lose on false accusations and retaliations don’t always get the airtime they need to sink in. I think if she’d run on issues and refused to participate in being outraged and disgusted at her opponent every time she was in front of a camera, people who get their opinions from TV appearances exclusively might have seen that she was a mature alternative and not just as petty and mean as her opponent.

Trump advertised nationally, during sporting events - baseball, football mostly - and those ads were almost always about his bumpersticker theme of Making America great. I saw one Deplorable ad from him. One.

The media is malleable. You want to change the narrative? You change it. She thought it favored her to talk character. She was wrong.
