1. They were working for Cruz and Trump beat him with almost no organises digital campaign.
2. By far, the best funded and most experienced digital team was Hilary’s, not Trumps’
I cannot see anything that CA did that the Hilary campaign could not do or know.
There is a genuine question around privacy, personal data and the industry that has grown up around the use, sale, re-sale and conglomeration of data. But the focus on CA implies that it was alone. It really wasn’t.
Massively beneficial for CA for everyone to believe they really are the masterminds. But journalists need to stop swallowing it wholesale.
