Jesse Ventura weighing presidential run on Green Party ticket
Source: New York Post
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, Ive decided Im 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 havent filed anything. I authorized a letter of interest that was sent on my behalf to the Greens and Im testing the waters for Green Party nomination, he said.
Im an independent. Im not a Democrat or a Republican because I know theyre not the solution.

Anybody who votes for Ventura will be because their first choice, Trump, isnt macho enough.
He wont be a Jill Stein.

You can not fix Stupid. Known this Sucker on a personal level,he is a true Fake.

The one useful thing he did was get the light rail project going, but otherwise he was an example of what can happen when you chase after the shiny object because you think the alternative is too boring - and his opponents from both parties really were pretty uninspiring. So all he needed to win was to be flashy and unconventional and hire a clever ad guy. Beware of the shiny object (on the liberal side - we have them, too - there was Michael Avenatti, who would have been just as bad if he hadn't been caught out as a grifter).

Told him to his face at Hockey Practice,your going to loose Buddy,your Name does not win elections,Jesse is eating your lunch with the Out-state and Women Voters. His reply,you got to be kidding,no I am not,I see the Lawn Signs in those out state towns and they are not DFL.

(50,562 posts)The United States has two Russian FSB-controlled political parties, the Republicans and the Greens. They ran Jill Stein on the Green ticket in 2016 because they knew shed pull support from the Democratic ticket.
They will not under any circumstance run a candidate on the Green ticket who will dilute support for Trump, which is what would happen if Ventura was in the race.
