"And then, like most guys who watch a lot of sports, Doug started seeing the trans ads. No matter what he was watching -- football, baseball -- there they were. The Trump campaign would eventually end up spending as much as $40 million on those ads. They showed some version of it fifty-five thousand times in the seven swing states. They showed it in all fifty states during sport broadcasts. ... With the tag line, 'Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you,' they thought they had landed on a winning message. Unfortunately, they were right."

And then all the but ... but ... but if only Kamala had said something different on "The View" or gone on Seth Rogan's show. If only Hillary had held one more rally in Wisconsin or hadn't been paid for a speech. If only they hadn't talked about Trump too much or talked about him enough. If only they made cheap populist promises they knew nobody could keep. Or rejected all campaign contributions except $27 in pennies.

Didn't listen to the words they actually said.
