I recall after 2016 how there were endless pieces about what a bad campaign Hillary Clinton ran. I didn't recall hearing any such thing said in 2020 about drumpf despite the fact he ran perhaps the worst campaign in history where he called one of the biggest voter concerns a hoax and completely ignored domestic issues and his opponent to focus almost his entire campaign on Hunter Biden (something no one other than his base cared one iota about)
I looked it up and there actually have been some articles written about his awful campaign.......... enjoy!

It would have worked if America was as dominated by evil, low-IQ, hate-driven racists as Trump's rallies seemed to indicate, but he didn't realize that the large sizes of those turnouts were largely influenced by disregard of the pandemic. As it turned out, Americans as a whole weren't quite stupid enough to elect him.

(26,044 posts)Trump lost by 3 million votes in 2016, and around double that this time. Thats a bigger margin than Obama had over Romney, but you never hear Romney came close to winning.
