Summary

PJ told me some unconventional ways to vote for president. "Who would you road trip with?" A lot of people might think they'd say Trump, "but think again," he said. I didn't vote. But I still wanted to know how it happened... (Also, this episode is airing just days before the one year inauguration of President Donald J. Trump.) Full show notes and links here.
