Ventura endorses Trump for GOP nomination, says he’d agree to be running mate


via The HIll:

Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura suggested Tuesday that he’d be glad to be Donald Trump’s running mate.

“Do you think Donald would ever think of asking me?” Ventura said during an interview on his “Off the Grid” show with former Trump adviser Roger Stone .

Ventura said he’d support Trump for the GOP presidential nomination.
“I shocked my staff today,” Ventura said. “I came in and said, ‘You know what, as far as the Republicans are concerned, I hope Trump wins.’”

“I’m not a Republican – I’m not a Democrat either – so ultimately I’d like somebody else overall,” the former WWE wrestler added.

    Has he offered to be Bernie Sanders’ VP too?

    In 2000, after winning the first Reform Party primaries, Trump left the Reform Party leaving the Reform Party “establishment” (mostly Perot supporters and Trade protectionists) with no viable candidate to go against Pat Buchanan, and that cause the split. Had Trump stayed in the primary, he probably would have been the 2000 Reform Party general election nominee, not Buchanan. It was also probable that the Reform Party would have stayed mostly intact.

    The Ventura thing is sad. Such a waste of great potential. He was a decent governor….

    I wonder if Jesse understands that endorsing Sanders and Trump decreases the chances that Libertarian Party delegates would ever nominate him for office.

    LOL, like he cares.

    I think that Jesse Ventura has a tendency to jump on bandwagons that sound like they are anti-establishment/maverick. So this is why he jumped from Ron Paul to Gary Johnson to Bernie Sanders to Donald Trump to etc…

    You think?

    Donald Trump ran in two Reform Party presidential primaries in 2000, California and Michigan. Trump won both of them.

    Yep, Ventura is certainly not getting my vote.

    Andy… really? You think he ever thought about that?

    It shouldn’t be a surprise since Ventura was behind Trump 2000.

    The possibility of this is…horrifying…shocking…omigod…
