Donald Trump is the presumptive US Republican presidential nominee. This is a real thing that has happened.
So now seems like a good moment to remember some of the many, many times we in the news media said this day would never come.

The media folks on this list shouldn't feel too badly; almost everyone else was wrong, too - including three-quarters of the US electorate, which in July believed that Trump was not a serious candidate, according to Gallup.
If you were a believer from the beginning, good for you. But you probably weren't.
