What if HRC spent millions in GA and AZ? [View all]

rather than in Ohio and Iowa? Could she have carried those states? Ohio and Iowa were a royal waste of money. When Portman was having double digit leads in September, that probably was a big clue as to how it would go. Of course, this is all Monday morning quarterbacking, but it's interesting as she lost GA and AZ by lower margins than Iowa and Ohio.
