Reply #49: Yes, the governor was friends

with Trump and may well still be, but he opposed the Buchanan candidacy who's political insanity was the main reason Ventura dropped out of the reform party and went Independent. He's more of an equal opportunity basher than partisan or bi-partisan or wishy washy about anything.

And yes, Ventura and Wellstone had some differences. Are you claiming one was always right and the other always wrong?

BTW, just like anyone else who thinks about things, the governor's views on many issues have changed over the ensuing years. No matter how you try to parse it, this is not a bad thing.
