At this time last year do you think Donald Trump thought he would be the Republican Candidate for President?

Over the last year I have been watching this election unfold. I didn't think Trump stood a chance in the primaries and looked at it as him building his business. I was pretty sure Clinton would be the nominee from the Democrat side, but could not have fathomed this. Do you think Trump knew he would be the Candidate?

Honestly I think he was blindsided by the amount of support he actually received.

I have heard some say that he really doesn't want to be POTUS, that he is just putting on a show for shits and giggles. The more successful he is, the more boorish he gets.

No. I honestly feel like there was some validity to this meme. I also feel like he may have come off strong in order to disqualify himself, but that made people like him more. I can see what people like about him. He's very charismatic. But I don't think he imagined himself getting this far, especially when he had like 15 other contenders for the seat.

This is what I think as well. I love the Meme. I don't want to say it was all a publicity stunt that turned into Uh Oh now I'm the Nominee. But I do think he wanted some of his message out there in the beginning so the other candidates would take credence to it and the support out grew what he expected. Of course we all know that Trump would not admit to this.

I don't believe he knew would! I believe he was confident he had a GOOD Chance! Everybody that Ran for President had NO Fight in them and he sensed that! However, to some Degree I believe he surprised himself with how well he did in regards to Voter Turnout! We were ALL Surprised he was able to do that well! Especially with no political experience! He spoke the Language of most People in the Country and they were DRAWN to him! That's the bottom Line!
