I think it's a different situation, though. Once it started looking like, "oh crap, the NDP might form government", they actually had to justify the notion that that was an acceptable possibility and fell flat on their faces. They had to campaign like a front-runner. Hillary, on the other hand, can legitimately just hide, as she's been doing through this cycle, and let her army of relatively credible and popular surrogates, including the Presidents and VP, make her case for her, mostly by just attacking Trump. Meanwhile, Trump's just going to keep being Trump, and that's probably not going to help him - his act doesn't get any fresher the more he does it. Even the sort of people who respond positively to his idiocy and trolling have to be getting a bit numb to it at this stage.
