It took me around ten tries to finally win with Donald Trump on Normal. It's almost infuriating how hard it is to play Donald Trump and win while following all his policies, whereas Hillary Clinton gets spoon-fed a bunch of single answer questions that say "Donald Trump is [insert derogatory adjective], I will unite the country!" Yes, this was made in March, but something definitely went on while this was being made. Heck, it's even easy to win with Clinton on IMPOSSIBLE.

Here's one I did this morning, where basically played Hillary Clinton and tried to mess up as much as possible. Well... it worked, and Trump got a record-breaking 531 EVs.

You have done better than approximately 100.0% of the games that have been played with your candidate and difficulty level.



Well Lads, it looks like I have set a world record!

Script kiddies don't count.
How is that even possible? Hillary Clinton didn't get any votes at all.

Donald Trump/Scott Brown - 371 EVs
Hillary Clinton/Elizabeth Warren - 167 EVs

This game was my best one, although in a few others I was able to snatch DE (didn't happen here, though).

Percent Republican:

NOTE: I got 11.4% in DC, but the mapmaker doesn't have a >10% option

Tbh it isn't really hard to win as Clinton even in impossible...
The 2016 campaign in this game is an absolute joke.

I wish there was a way for Trump to get 535
Tried to make it happen by bombing a Clinton campaign, and...



EDIT: And I still did better than 35% of players!

I've gotten Trump to do a 49-state sweep by bombing with Clinton, who only wins Hawaii.

EDIT: Here's what it looks like...

Donald Trump / Mike Pence - 531 EV, 58.3%
Hillary Clinton / Elizabeth Warren - 7 EV, 36.8%
Things ended up being really strange. New Mexico somehow ends up being closer than California (44.9-42.4 in NM vs. 48.1-45.1 in CA), and Vermont somehow ends up being decided by a 1.2% margin while Massachusetts is an 8.4% blowout. Many of the other states' percentages are oddly similar to 1972:

Hillary gets 70%+ in DC
50%+ in HI
40%+ in VT, MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, DE, MD, IL, NM, NV (39.7% rounded up), CA, WA
30%+ in ME, NH, PA, VA, NC, SC (29.9% rounded up), GA, FL, OH, IN, MI, WI, NM, IA, MO, TX, SD, CO, MT (29.8% rounded up), AZ, OR, AK (29.9% rounded up)
20%+ in WV, KY, TN, AL, LA, AR, OK, KS, NE, ND, WY, UT
