we figured out a logn time ago that Trump would walk among anyone and didn't descriminate.
he was friends with all of everyone who was anyone.
why does that surprise you?
Meanwhile he'd speak sense, people would hear, and they would say 'wow he's got his act together.'
how many of us heard an elder at one time or another, maybe a mother or father, in their last years, if Trump came up they'd say "you know he'd be a good choice for president"?
I bet if we could survey people we'd find out that there are alot of supporter and they go back a long long time.
