I would think every campaign going back to at least 2008 has used this same strategy...of any political stripe.
Or am I missing something here?

Clinton didn't have the same investment. Clinton didn't have Robert Mercer in her back pocket driving this program. More importantly, Clinton did not have the Russians and the Macedonians working for her to act as a force multiplier by creating fake news (real fake news) and a bot army to promote it across various social media platforms. The psychological impact of repetition, especially from a trusted network, is at a level of efficacy in swaying audiences that would give Edward Bernays a wet dream.
