As I began to read If I Ran by Jim DesRocher, I was struck by the extensive research and detailed consideration the author has given to his campaign action plan. His proposed political manifesto covers climate change, medical provision, and gun laws among many other common-sense policies. Jim DesRocher's ideas are laid out in layman's terms and his insightful, intelligent approach made complete sense. I especially loved his suggestions on equally balanced legislative bodies, mandatory voting, and immigration; these are solution orientated and absolutely achievable. My favorite had to be the electoral candidate policy, which would definitely 'drain the swamp'. The author completely captures the solutions to bring a country together, provide a government that is working for the majority and where fairness and wisdom trump complacency and division. His patriotism and intelligence shine throughout this excellent book.
