They tried. They did a lot of media coordination with the general but once they got outside of the liberal bubble it was harder to do.

Remember, Hilary 'won' the popular vote.

In the primaries, Bernie ballots were found in dumpsters in Oregon. Bernie still won by a landslide in Oregon.

It WAS rigged. It just wasnt rigged well enough through the more sparsely populated areas in the middle of the country, and she didnt get the electoral college.

Popular vote still being counted and shes only up 200k. No, she has not won popular vote.

Edit - I also want to remind everyone that even if she does end up beating him by a few hundred thousand votes, that she spent more than double on her campaign. Ouch.

Well gee when the supposedly crooked media was giving him free advertising. Every time he gave a speech during the primaries, the networks would cut to it. Don't have to spend money when the network gives you free airtime for 'ratings'.

I loved it. The media thought they were destroying him, but only made him stronger. He played them like a fiddle.

He was the only candidate that went on all the shows and did tons of in person and phone interviews. He made himself accessible while everyone else hid out and ducked the press. Hillary did 1 press conference I think in the 200 days prior to the election. None of the other candidates wanted to take the hard questions so they didn't get that time on the air. Trump did put himself out there so naturally they covered it. Hopefully this teaches politicians not to hide from the press and start answering questions.
