They never believed he’d get the nomination and they STILL don’t believe he can become President
By Piers Morgan for MailOnline



So, it’s actually happened: Donald Trump IS the official Republican nominee to be President of the United States.

The moment very few members of the Washington elite or mainstream U.S. media thought was even remotely possible when Trump first announced he was running a year ago has arrived.

I’m not as shocked as they are.

Back on June 17, 2015, I wrote a column warning everyone snorting with derision not to underestimate the billionaire tycoon and predicting he would electrify the campaign.

That, whether you love or loathe Trump, he has indisputably done.

And he’s done it in sensational style, crushing his 17 rivals for the Republican nomination like a raging two-tonne bull careering through the proverbial china shop.

The big question now, with the latest polls showing them neck and neck, is can Trump now go one step further and actually win the presidency?

Here are ten ways I think he can pull it off:

1) ‘Crooked Hillary’. Trump’s most effective strategy has been to brand his opponents with mocking monikers they find impossible to shake off. ‘Low Energy Jeb’ was a devastating knockout blow to the chances of a third Bush reaching the White House. ‘Little Marco’ reduced Senator Rubio to a diminished laughing stock. ‘Lyin’ Ted’ struck a metaphorical machete into the Cruz campaign. And John Kasich’s miserable record of failure on the primary trail led to Trump dubbing him ‘1 for 38 Kasich’ then ‘1 for 44 Kasich’ and so on until he threw in the towel. Now Trump’s relentlessly targeting Clinton with the title ‘Crooked Hillary’ and it’s beginning to cause real damage as the RNC crowds last night chanting ‘JAIL HER!’ and her deteriorating approval numbers can attest. Expect to hear it a lot more.
