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.

JV was never a Navy Seal, but this article repeats that BS right off the bat. Stolen valor.

... serving as a Navy SEAL...

Nope, never, not for a single day.

Coulda been, if he'd wanted; he was UDT, all he had to do was walk into the SEAL building across the street and say "Sign me up", but he never did.

How’s this for a three way race: Trump, Clinton and Jesse. Our country’s biggest nightmare.

While you and I might be on opposite ends of who should be the nominee, I gotta admit I love that black and white moving vortex. Classic and sums up this thread.

Come to think of it, it does.

It’s a link to the FReepathon.

Put your cursor over the graphic.

Thanks for the mention.

I thought he “went off the grid”? How is he going to run “off the grid”?

Ya mean Trump vs. Ventura?

Great, then we'd have two candidates who have a nasty habit of treating widows like crap.
