20. In WI, MI, PA and OH, she spent more money in advertising, and had a larger ground operation, than Obama had in 2012.

She hardly ignored those states. She also held more rallies in Pennsylvania than any other state, in a first-place tie with Ohio and Florida, which were widely considered battleground throughout that race. And contrary to post-election reporting, she did hold a couple of rallies in Michigan.

In any event, where candidates held their rallies was not what determined whether they won a given state. And nobody accused her of ignoring these states during the election, even though this information was obviously public knowledge.
