I am normally not reluctant to place blame on Reince at ALL, but I think this epic failure is on Trump. He had no organization, and because he's Trump, most of the experienced campaign operatives of his vanquished foes were unwilling to work for him (if they had aspirations of future work in the party). It's not the GOP's job to set up field offices and coordinate his ad buys. Reince had to argue with Trump, who for his ego wanted things like offices in all 50 states (when it is a waste of resources in places you *should* definitely win (Idaho) and definitely lose (Hawaii)). Trump also couldn't even be bothered to make the 25 fundraising calls Reince required and got bored after 3 calls.
