The blue wall wasn't as fortified as everyone thought. Trump was more successful in campaigning to win the EC. The Shoo-In attitude backfired bigly.

but how did the polls miss this?

Underestimated rural white turnout. On the other hand, they were fairly accurate in the southwest/Rockies, and iirc even underestimated Clinton's victory in Colorado a little.

The EC again.

Trump lost the Popular vote. It seems to occur more and more often these days, and is an outmoded system.

Even a lot of the current EC voters seemed questionable as far as qualifications.

Apparently Russian influence.

You should be more worried about Trump's presidency, which is quickly headed towards being over before he even sworn in.

Hillary is so 2016..
