It's just a simple numbers game.  Get your message that (in this case) Clinton is a liar and Trump cares about the little guy, that Clinton is untrustworthy because the FBI is investigating her and Trump is going to fight for your rights, that the Clinton Foundation is dirty because they receive funds from bad countries and the Trump Foundation is doing amazing things, the list goes on, get that message to the maximum amount of people and you have a better chance of getting people who never voted to vote.   You increase the odds of swinging a voter who didn't like Trump but now thinks he is more trustworthy than Clinton.  

You only need a few in every city to combine and make a large amount in the state.

That doesn't mean that the extra money from Russia was the tipping point.  that just means it helped the NRA get their message to even more people.

Their political messages have to be related to their primary mission.  So unions couldn't run ads about Trump having affairs.  The NRA couldn't run ads about Hillary's emails.
