I agree;
Trump figured out where the winnable electoral votes were (in rural states), and did not waste time and money in big-city Clinton strongholds. It is the electoral vote that counts, not the popular vote. Hillary may be Miss Congeniality, but she's not Madam President.
General MacArthur used essentially the same strategy against the Japanese in the Pacific theater of WW2; not that Trump probably knows who MacArthur was.
Come to think of it, the Germans went around France's Maginot Line in WW2, avoiding getting slaughtered in the process.
I assume that British politicos have sufficient guile to figure out how to game their electoral system so as to garner the most votes per pound spent. Effective tactics are an important part of winning.
