Wall-to-Wall positive coverage on AM radio FOR FREE didn't hurt Trump either.

Keep in mind, that Democrats don't have an entire form of media (with a die-hard, dedicated following) 100% committed to them and supporting them.

Of course Democrats have to out-spend Republicans and buy up advertising. The GOP gets the vast bulk of their advertising for free. If you added up the media value and cost of their free press, it'd make Hillary's totals look like peanuts.
