Hillary won majority of voters, but still lost EC. Its good to know that we should have won, but we didn't win by the system in the place at the moment. We either need to change the system (get rid of EC) or change our strategy.

That's what we're up against - not the "wrong" ad or the "wrong" approach. We're up against voters too stupid to look beyond the ads.

That means we need to change our strategy to win those voters, if idiots who live in the rust belt won the election for Trump we need to win them so it doesn't happen again.
