This was the unreported message that we learned
from the election.
The signal came early, in the two primaries.
It was reported Jeb Bush had a $150 million campaign
war chest and it meant nothing.
Hillary Clinton had everything; the party, millions,
the media, rigged primary and Bernie Sanders was
still able to get to the convention.
Once the finalists were chosen, we learned Hillary
Clinton could have $2 billion to spend in the general
election, a huge advantage over Donald Trump.
But, in order for Hillary to accumulate this record
amount of money meant she would need to hold more
fund raisers, even more fund raisers that rallies.
Trump, ever the marketeer, knew it was the message
that would overcome the money advantage Hillary had.
Week and week Trump would average ten rallies going
to the key states required to overcome the advantage
Democrats have in heavily populated states.
I lost count how many times he came to NC, could have
exceeded ten, and equal to the number of rallies held
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin and
New Hampshire.
Flying "Trump Force One" he circled the Midwest
holding rallies the size never seen before with
an average crowd of over 15,000.
Trump did this as a "solo act". He did not need
Hollywood 'groupies' to draw in a crowd. HE was
the reason people came! And it worked.
Nor, did Trump rely on political consultants. He knew
the problems and he believed he had the solutions.
He did not have to pay tens of thousands of dollars
for advise on what is obvious to most of the people
attending the rallies.
Trump's supporters knew what had worked in the
past no longer did. And Trump knew it too!
That was the objective, fix what is broken. It was
also Trump's promise, enough to win the election.
If only Hillary had a few more fund raisers.....
Sorry, with no message, no amount of money would
have changed the results!
