Interesting character. Some of his initial proposals actually made sense, but then, his train went off the rails.

How he got started in business....'I bought dirty apples for a nickel, shined them up and sold them for a dime...' Kind of explains the vinyl collectibles market...

I think I voted for him the second time he ran, when he only got like 8% or something like that. The first time .... I don't know. I think that "admiral" he had as his running mate might have scared me off.
