Wow! I've gotta admit, I didn't see that coming. I even gave up on the game part way through the third -- starting to get ready for bed -- and only checked in a few minutes later out of curiosity, to see the beginning of the comeback.
Anyway, I'm reluctant to make predictions about political things, because I don't think much like the average person, so I don't think I do a very good job modeling the average person's behavior in my head. That said, I did a better job than most of the people on the left when it came to Trump, I think. I never wrote him off. Here's my last comment on it before the election, in which I said I was not terribly confident:

The polls still put this very close -- just 2.5 points in Clinton's favor, average. That's within the margin of error of polling averages, historically. In 2012, Obama had a polling average lead of 0.7 and won by 3.9, meaning we have recent history with polls being off 3.2 points. Granted, that time they underestimated the Democrat, but in theory they could be underestimating Trump this time. And Trump does have the built-in Republican advantage in the electoral college (from smaller states having disproportionate voting power -- more Dems live in big states).
In retrospect, I think that analysis holds up pretty well. The polls were off slightly, and slightly was all it took with the built-in Republican advantage in the electoral college.
