On June 16, 2015, Donald Trump announced he was officially campaigning to be the Republican nominee for the 2016 U.S. Presidential race. At the time, Trump had less than a three-percent chance of winning the race against politicians that had been planning their campaigns since the 2012 Presidential race, like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.
But here it is, early May, and he’s now the presumptive Republican nominee, after a long, knockout verbal battle with his counterparts, making it one of the most intriguing political stories of the past couple decades.
My question is – just how unlikely was this run?
