Fast forward 15 months later and Trump is the Repubican nominee for president, shocking many of his critics in the process.

In advance of the Trump appearance, Pitt County Democratic Chairman Sonny McLawhorn said Trump has “never stood for working people”.
Trump said Clinton failed to turn over thousands of emails and documents and then tried to “shield her criminal conduct” by having Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills declare herself Clinton’s private attorney. “But you can’t do that when you’re president of the United States”, Kaine said.
Georgia is a GOP-leaning state but polls suggest Republican nominee Donald Trump’s struggles among college-educated whites, particularly in the Atlanta suburbs, could make the state competitive for Clinton. Although this question hasn’t been asked in every presidential election year, in CNN/ORC and CNN/USA Today/Gallup results dating back to 2000, this poll marks the first time that a significantly larger share of voters say they are less enthusiastic about this year’s election.
At a town hall earlier on Tuesday, Trump criticized the United States’ intervention in Libya as part of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation in 2011. He said it is clear from the Federal Bureau of Investigation report that Clinton and her top aides destroyed evidence and covered up their actions. “We could have had a minor attack”. The second is that he is destined to go down to a crushing defeat, so that other Republicans and their supporters should cut him loose, condemn him, and try to save themselves. During a recent speech in Arizona, Trump reaffirmed his vow that there would be no amnesty for undocumented immigrants if he is elected.
Kaine said in his speech that he did not need to “spin” Trump’s statements to win over US voters because they could stand on their own.
Those include allegedly giving foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation special access to her while she was secretary of state.
“They used hammers to destroy phones so they couldn’t be turned over later – and by the way, who uses 13 different iPhones in 4 years?”
It would be hard for Trump to win the presidency without winning North Carolina, and polls show the race here is a toss up.
The two also exchanged shots about national security, with Trump warning that Clinton would be unable to stand up to adversaries like President Vladimir Putin of Russian Federation. “He pleaded the 5th and where is he?” Trump said it was a sign of disrespect and he would have left immediately if he had been president.
Perhaps Trump’s recent climb isn’t because his approval rating has changed much, but rather because of the fact that Hillary Clinton’s disapproval has hit new highs this past week thanks to her ongoing email server scandal.
Clinton’s traveling press secretary Nick Merrill rolled the orange back, with the word “Putin” circled.
Several times in recent months, U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has anxious out loud about the growth of “identity politics” in his own party – meaning political allegiances defined by race or ethnicity. Any immigrants who want full citizenship must return to their countries of origin and get in line, he told reporters – but he would not rule out a pathway to legal status for the millions living in the US illegally, as he did in a long-awaited policy speech last week. We sit here in the great battleground state of Ohio. Unusually, Trump thought about history in expressing his concern about a potential threat from those fleeing the Syrian civil war.

I agree with John, however, that there’s a potential link between the question of whether Trump can win and the question of whether conservatives should vote for him.
