No, you have that wrong.  Remember, that is what Hilarious tried (fewer
stops) and it DID NOT WORK.  If there was no electoral college, what she did
would have worked.  She would only need to campaign and play to the areas
that Bob listed.  She'd never visit Kentucky or any state that surrounds it
(except maybe Northern Virginia).  She'd certainly have gotten away with
ignoring Wisconsin and Michigan.

The only times it has been "unfair" is when a Democrat has not managed to
win it.
