When I was about ten years old, my dad brought me to a town council meeting so I could see how local politics works and understand its importance. As I watched the man in the center of the room, seated, speaking in front of a microphone, a do-rag wrapped around his head, he caught my eye and winked at me.

That man was Jesse Ventura. At the time, he was the mayor of my town. A few years later, he was elected and served one term as governor of Minnesota. Ventura reminds me of someone else who has become a fixture of political debate in the last few months. Like Ventura, Donald Trump has his own flamboyant style and signature campaign slogans.

Yet at the end of his political tenure, Jesse “The Body” Ventura had few positive results to show for it — and neither does that look likely for The Donald. Trump’s chart-topping poll numbers have begun to slide, and he recently told CNBC, “If I fell behind badly, I would certainly get out.”
