A year ago, Donald Trump announced he was running for president. And no one took him seriously.

USA Today was the only national paper that put him on the front page.

The rest had headlines like this.

What if Trump is still underestimated?

"I'm not predicting [Trump] will win, but I will say he's capable of winning in November," Dan Rather said. "He has a path."
