Trump over-relied on rallies. He should have shelled out on cheap ads to counter Biden’s barrage. In my area, they outnumbered GOP ads literally 20 to 1. I put myself in the shoes of a voter trying to decide between competing messages who hadn’t watched the debates. Biden didn’t need to advertise, because the media was giving him free positive publicity. Trump needed to advertise. He didn’t.

Allahpundit, who coined this basically blasphemous* handle explicitly to annoy Muslims, in the wake of 9/11, said of Trump’s rallies that they’re basically an expensive form of ego-stroking. You pay for a triumph and all your fans will turn out. But they would have voted for you anyway. Ads are better, in his view, because they provide a counterpoint among people whose only impression of you is from Biden ads or the media.

* Which is why Allahpundit jealously guards his privacy. Muslims have a very traditional and very bloody way of dealing with blasphemers.
