Jesse Ventura weighing presidential run on Green Party ticket
NY Post ^ | April 28, 2020 | 10:07am | Lee Brown

Former WWE star Jesse Ventura has admitted he is considering jumping in the ring with a wildcard presidential run — only days after bashing rumors about it.

“OK, I’ve decided I’m going to test the waters. IF I were going to run for president, the GREEN party would be my first choice,” the 68-year-old wrestler-turned-Minnesota governor tweeted Monday.

“To be clear: I haven’t filed anything. I authorized a letter of interest that was sent on my behalf to the Greens and I’m testing the waters for Green Party nomination,” he said.

“I’m an independent. I’m not a Democrat or a Republican because I know they’re not the solution.”

I haven’t filed to run, but I’ve covered climate change many times on The World According to Jesse. Climate change is real. It isn’t a belief...it’s science. It’s a major reason why I vote GREEN party. https://t.co/uRwCNo8r3y— Jesse Ventura (@GovJVentura) April 23, 2020

Ventura is wanting to challenge OBiden as the dumbest person to every seek the Oval Office, I guess.

And if he runs on the Green Party ticket will anyone really notice?

Blast from the past???

If I recall correctly, he was elected as governor of Minnesota as the nominee of Ross Perot’s Reform Party. He defeated both the Republican and Democrat in that election.

It sounds like he’s gone far left, what with pushing global warming so much. Green Party is where he belongs in such a case.

He’s had a few moments of rationality, unlike the DNC nuts. He’s far far from my kind of candidate but yes it will he just fine if he runs. Biden is an obvious Trojan horse for the commie-nazi schemers - watch out for his VP choice -

I don’t like this. He won’t take any votes from Trump but give embarrassed Democrats reason who can’t vote for the Dover Dimwit a reason to show up. While they are there they will vote for down ballot Democrats to hurt America and “get even with Trump,” or some such bull shit. His pushing Happy Hands down below 40% is not as important than winning back the House and holding the Senate.

It’s a shame that Chris Kyle is gone yet this piece of filth continues on. Still, was great that Chris decked him at one time, although scumbag Jessie filed a defamation lawsuit against his estate.

The Greens are basically communist with a different name but then so are the dims . If we line up their stands they would be mostly alike. The differences would be subtle.

He’d draw off the kook vote from the Democrats.
