"Our first call of the night, we can call the state of Kentucky for Donald Trump. No surprises there, though it looks like his margin is down from Romney in 2012."
"Vermont for Secretary Clinton. She seems to have topped Obama 2012 there, a good sign for the night to come."
"West Virginia's for Trump. No surprises there, we can call the state of West Virginia for Donald Trump. It doesn't look like he has improved on the Romney 2012 numbers though."

Still waiting for the new version of 2016. I wonder what the big differences will be. Probably just less randomness.

It'll be easier for Trump. This one it is hard to win as Trump. However IOTL Trump ran a terrible campaign and had several meltdowns, as well as being accused of sexual assault, and still won.

Maybe as Trump, the more competent of a campaign you run, the worse you do!

On the 2016 scenario, instead of a total overhaul, they could do some minor updates and fixes such as get the correct pictures of the campaign managers, include the actual VP nominees in the VP choices, and make some adjustments to the minor party vote totals, which in the event wound up at about 5%.

The current scenario makes heavy use of terrorist attacks, to the point that you can tell if Trump is going to win by counting the number of terrorist attacks happening. Instead the election turned more on Clinton scandal related issues, which are barely mentioned in the scenario. Instead of Trump University, a big deal was made of sexual harassment. Trump turned out get nearly all normal GOP voters behind him, but struggled with the GOP establishment.
