Correct, it is not easy to manufacture majority opinion.
In fact, we are seeing:
1. HRC spent more
2. HRC had total support from media (every major newspaper)
3. HRC even had social media employees manipulating their algos and data to her advantage
And now, after HRC lost, we are still using the same mechanism, and lenses, to form conclusions about why she lost.
That’s the definition of insanity.
- tomjen3 9y ago2 is only the case if you limit media to things 45-50+ year olds consume (ie newspapers). And I don't even mean that there were blogs that disagreed with her: talk radio (I assume) and Fox didn't like her - and it is really not strange that newspapers supported the democratic candidate, especially in such a polarized election. As for 1), she clearly spent too much on old-media. You don't win the presidential election by setting fire to 4 billion USD, even if you technically "spend" the most.

Would you be able to explain why a foreign government felt the need to expend enormous resources on trolling operations in support of Trump when Hillary was going to lose anyway?
- observation 9y ago> HRC even had social media employees manipulating their algos and data to her advantage This is definitely true. If those autocompletes weren't biased then I must be blind.
