I will admit to being slightly obsessed with the first 3 seasons of "The Apprentice".
It kinda changed my opinion of the Donald, I always thought of him as an unscrupulous dick with lots of money. I saw he had a sense of humor, could sort of laugh at himself, and had a good business sense. BUT if you would have told me at that time that he would be the Republican Nominee for POTUS; I would have said you were f'ing crazy!!!

His supporters are so behind him, even if they realize he is a little crazy. I just don't get it. it scares me as well. I live in the center of Ohio, and there are lots of Trump supporters here.
