Hillary Clinton. The Trump campaign claims their data operation is how they won in the Rust Belt.
- skinkestek 7y agoTo me it seems obvious that Hillary Clinton was the one who pulled (or pushed) the victory in Trumps direction, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by some really interesting remarks about her core voters. (Disclaimer: Not an American, don't like Hillary Clinton and definitely not Donald Trump.)
- arrosenberg 7y agoI can see how one would get that impression based on our media, but it would be an oversimplification to say the least. The history of Hillary Clinton is too complex and long to get into for the purposes of this discussion. Suffice to say the Trump campaign made a concerted effort to use data to target ads at specific groups in the Rust Belt with the intention of de-legitimizing her as a Presidential candidate.
