On the contrary. You need good policy, but you also need a clear strong slogan and message for it to resonate and be heard. You can't dismissively tell people just to look at your policy on your website like Clinton did, or explain how you're not a socialist like Sanders. In Harris' case, she was stuck trying to distinguish herself from Biden. For all his faults, Trump has simple effective slogans and policy. "Build the wall", "tariffs" and "make China and Mexico pay". He's also built up a (false) persona as a savvy businessman in large part due to The Apprentice. Obama himself built up a charismatic and cool persona and had his own effective slogans and policy. "Change we can believe in", "yes we can" and withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan and universal healthcare which to his credit he delivered. Now I ask you, can you summarize to me in a sentence or 2 what exactly Harris' policies were? Because I will tell you now that the average voter sure as hell could not and that's a major problem.
