This. Trump optimized to win the election, and Hillary ignored a bunch of states she thought she'd easily win (some of which she didn't).

Sort of hard for either of them when the polls turned out to be completely wrong

Polls aren't meant to be predictive. They're meant to be influential.

The final national polls turned out to be quite accurate.

I'm not sure Trump optimized for anything. Rumors from his inner circle suggest he didn't expect to win, and was surprised when he did.

Doesn't that make Hillary's loss all the more embarssing then?
