Most Americans may watch The Apprentice - I never did. But as a NYer I knew him for 40 years. I don’t think he’s a perfect candidate - and I hope he continues to educate himself- but he is a real man with a strong character. That he has a heavy NY accent helps him in my case, as well.

Axelrod can’t acknowledge that rather than merely “playing an uber businessman and master manager an hour a week” Trump has actually been that for decades.
That those who have watched his show are more favorable toward him suggests that he has staying power in terms of likability, which is important in a presidential candidate—or president.

Anyone who watched Trump's Apprentice shows got to see that Trump treats everyone equally. I believe this should help with women and minorities.
I saw a fair number of episodes because of my kids' viewing habits.

If you want to win the uninformed voters, you have to go where the uninformed voters go.
