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.

Your welcome.
I could have done Jesse’s job with my eyes closed.
Not a slam on Gov workers...its a slam on Jesse’s management skills.
...Trump and his supporters slinging lies and mud ...
I agree.
Cruz is a very good Senator and could be a very good President someday.
The trashing of Cruz on FR is wrong....period.
He may have made some critical mistakes (mostly getting involved with Beck) but he probably figured he needed something once he lost Sarah.
Trump needs to learn too.
Being President is a whole new level of management he NEEDS to be ready for.
In all seriousness, I think from the Management perspective, being the chief executive is going to be easy. He has plenty of management experience.
It’s the rhetoric side where he needs some help.
I think he would be a much better President than he is a candidate.
Agreed.
I remember when it was clear that Reagan was going to be President.
The Liberal Press went quiet and just waited for a chance to destroy him.
Iran-Contra was the closest they got and the MSM did manage to damage him somewhat.
Trump needs to be made to understand that he will have a very big list of enemies from both parties if he becomes President.
I have been having Deja vu from 1980 all day.
When I start hearing the lefties start talking about dictators and war mongering...
I remember asking my 20 year old self if Reagan was really THAT bad. Then I looked at Carter and figured it couldn’t get much worse.
