Like a different perspective on what happened? [View all]

I have a very smart friend who studied the election in depth. He traveled with the Democratic and GOP candidates on the primary trail and reported it as it happened. He's a retired financial consultant and active melon farmer living in southern Oregon. I have tried to coax him back into politics to no avail. I think you'll find his views refreshing.
