As things stand now, campaigns go after EVs, because that is how you win elections. You need popular vote wins in selected localities, but NOT on a national level.
Change the system to a national popular vote, and campaigns will change how they go after a win.
The national popular vote is irrelevant in the present environment - it is comparing apples and oranges, it is a canard thrown in our faces by the loser of an election, for the sole purpose of delegitimizing the actual winner. Happened with Bush 43, is happening now with Trump.
