" I could not help wondering if the Clinton campaign had even thought to take out ads in the foreign language newspapers that can still be found in parts of the Midwest focusing on this threat."(In reference to the para about the Lithuanian priest).
Yes, I think that The Clinton team left a few too many stones unturned during the Campaign.
You get the feeling that Hillary felt she had the election in the bag as Trump was such an unlikely candidate.

I suggest that the Democrats review the history of the 1972 Federal election in Australia where the Labor Party achieved power after 27 years in the wilderness.
Labor also thought they had the election in the bag, - facing a very lack-lustre opponent - but left absolutely no stone unturned. They even made sure that a speech at a parish by Sydney's Coadjutor Archbishop James Carroll containing a barely-veiled support for the Labor Party, was attended by the press.

Indeed, Labor's famous "It's Time" slogan mirrors "Make America great again".
