I genuinely wonder if one underrated problem for the Trump campaigns (and Republicans in general) is lack of Republican-leaning smart people actually effectively manage and direct a campaign, and even for those that do exist they have less power because of Trump's own ego telling his campaign to invest in Virginia or something.
Is Dems just having a larger, high quality pool of smart people to choose from to help on the campaign an underrated advantage?
Do you think those right wing think tanks are full of dumb people?
Well, I suppose republcians have a smaller base of sociologists and pol sci (non lawyer) college graduates, but pretty sure they have a decent chuck of publicist talent.
