Mexico will beg for mercy, !

I thought Jesse was mostly living in Mexico these days.

He should wrestle Hillary for the nomination. I'd bet she'd still win.

We need a Jesse(TBV)/George Clooney ticket.

There is no way Jesse would ever get the nomination, the members of the Libertarian Party are too smart for that.

There are 12 candidates seeking the nomination, Jeese would be eliminated in the first round of balloting at the nominating convention.

The final round will be between former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson and anti virus software developer John McAfee.

That's just funny. Ventura is as much of a clown as Loonie Bernie, should be equally entertaining.

Jesse has more manners and poise in his pinky that Trump does in his whole body.
Anyone who thinks the two are anything alike, only remember Ventura from his Wrestling Days or only judges him on those.

I voted for Jesse and was hoping he would do something to help put a knife into the two party system in mn. Problem is he did absolutely nothing to build a consensus among people to move the power away from the two parties and when he left office there was nothing left of his "party" but Dean Barkley and fifty or sixty thousand in unpaid bills. He had a real chance and wasted it with preening in the spotlight like the primadona he is.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was an outsider and a lousy governor too. Schwarzenegger Leaves California
That story tells you what he did to California's finances which he promised to improve (and didn't).

Jesse is a well-known tin foil conspiracist. A large portion of Team Trump is, too. I see him stealing votes from Mr. Trump.

However, I believe they are both WWE Hall of Famers, so Vince McMahon, Iron Sheik or Mr. Fuji might be tapped as VP.

Jesse recently posted his preliminary campaign platform on his website.

My platform would be simple:

1.) Rebuilding our country: focus on alternative energy sources, and fix our infrastructure.
2.) Getting out of the wars.
3.) Legalizing and ending the war on drugs.
4.) Get the money out of politics and work towards reforming campaign financing.

I would say if you are able to accomplish two out of those four issues, you would go down in history as a great president.

I follow the teachings of Major General Smedley Butler, who wrote:

“To summarize: Three steps must be taken to smash the war racket. 1. We must take the profit out of war. 2. We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war. 3. We must limit our military forces to home defense purposes.”

We have so much work to do here in the United States. I’m tired of seeing our resources being used abroad.

I also saw that he was formally invited to the Libertarian convention in Orlando by the leaders of the party and will decide by the end of March if he will go that route. Sounds to me like he's gearing up for a campaign.
