The advertising decisions that helped doom Hillary Clinton By Jim Tankersley November 12 In the closing weeks of the presidential race, Hillary Clinton's campaign — and the outside groups that supported it — aired more television advertisements in Omaha than in the states of Michigan and Wisconsin combined.
