Jesse Ventura: I’ll Run for President If Bernie Sanders Loses
Daily Beast ^ | 02.29.16 4:30 PM ET

Posted on 02/29/2016 2:51:13 PM PST by drewh

Minneapolis — Jesse Ventura told The Daily Beast he will run for president if Bernie Sanders does not win the Democratic nomination. Ventura was elected the governor of Minnesota as an independent in 1998 after serving as a Navy SEAL and professional wrestler. Ventura said his campaign was so successful at showing an outsider could be elected that Trump and Sanders are “ripping him off.” He bets he can do it again if Sanders loses and the election is Hillary Clinton vs. Trump. “They’re setting the groundwork for me because if Bernie loses, by the time we get to June, how sick are the people going to be of all these people,” he said while dressed in a Jimmy Hendrix shirt under a blazer and SEALs beanie.

“See I’m an independent and I despise the two parties,” Ventura, who speaks as if he is prepared to tackle you, continued. “I love what Trump’s doing to the Republicans. He’s got them in complete disarray. In fact, it looks like the WWE when you watch their debates.” As for who will prevail in the Minnesota caucus tomorrow night, Ventura really could not say. “I support the revolution of what’s happening here,” Ventura said after telling a local that he worked for most “level-headed” news outlet (RT America). “There’s three things where I stand with Bernie on more so than Trump. Number one is campaign is finance reform,” two is “the war,” and three is ending the War on Drugs.

And I’ll stand up and applaud if Jesse Venture does run. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better.

By this time next Friday I expect Arnold will have entered the race and bickering with Cruz of his Austrian citizenship.
