Thousands of Donald Trump for President rally-goers came out to support their candidate in Wilmington, North Carolina this week, some for many hours.

This man told reporter Molly Oak that he had been lined up since 11 p.m. the night before, capturing the number one spot in line and held out hope of getting a selfie with Trump:
