Trump’s supporters will likely interpret all of this as evidence of the media’s pro-Clinton bias. But there’s another explanation: Clinton has better surrogates. To help disseminate her message, her campaign can call on virtually every elected official in the Democratic Party. On Tuesday, for example, it chose politicians from swing states hit particularly hard by the housing collapse: A representative from Nevada, a representative from Ohio, and a mayor from Florida. At key moments, Clinton can also call on surrogates so high-profile that they garner almost as much media attention as she does. On Tuesday, she used Warren. As the campaign goes on, she’ll likely use her husband and Barack Obama.

Trump, by contrast, is relying mostly on little-known conservative media figures and employees from his business. While most Republican politicians are endorsing him, few will parrot his talking points on TV, especially since those talking points so often involve Bill Clinton’s sexual behavior and thus invite reporters to ask surrogates about Trump’s own. And while Hillary Clinton can call on Obama and her husband when she wants extra publicity, most of the big-name Republicans who could do the same for Trump—George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Paul Ryan—are hostile to him. Yes, Trump can call on Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, and Ben Carson. But since Palin delivered a speech in April in Wisconsin that Joe Scarborough compared to an acid trip, the Trump campaign hasn’t called on her. For his part, Carson was dubbed “worst surrogate ever” by both Politico and CBS after conceding in various interviews that Trump has “major defects,” that he lies, and that John Kasich would have been a better nominee. Another Trump surrogate, Roger Stone, has been banned from both CNN and MSNBC for wildly sexist, racist, and homophobic comments.
