Jesse Ventura May Run for President in 2016 with Howard Stern as His VP Candidate

I used to like Ventura. Then I read his book where he admits to being sold on climate change by Al Gore. The guy is too friendly with liberals and is unpredictable. He has no ideology. You never know where he'll stand on anything.
 
He would need Howard to help him get on the ballot in all 50 states. Last time he was on, he said he would make a run if:

- there were enough people to get him on the ballot on all 50 states
- he could get enough support to get into the debates ( while still able to run independent of political parties)
- people would raise the money (small donors, no corporate interests)
 
Stern almost ran for NYC mayor years back but ended it after finding out that he would have had to publicly disclose his finances.

I wouldn't vote for that ticket anyway, they're both just garden-variety liberals when it comes down to it.

Guess you missed his Climate Change show, on TruTv. He isn't buying the man-made global warming anymore.

"Republicans and Democrats are basically in agreement with authoritarianism," Paul said. "They believe that one way or another you have to be an authoritarian, to tell you how to spend your money [and] both of them tell you how to run your personal life. And they're both very excited about telling every country what to do, and giving them money if they behave or bombing them if they don't."

Paul said "the wave of the future" is a coalition of anti-authoritarian progressive Democrats and libertarian Republicans in Congress opposed to domestic surveillance, opposed to starting new wars and in favor of ending the so-called War on Drugs.

Wave of the future, dude.
 
I'd easily vote Rand over Ventura. Ventura is too liberal for my liking, he's good on certain issues but pretty bad on others. I guess if the options were something like Clinton, Christie or Ventura then I'd probably give him a vote.

I dislike Ventura.

That said I don't get this post at all. I can't stand the "I'm a liberal/conservative/libertarian and therefore I should feel X, or Y or Z on climate change, gun control, abortion" mentality.

Some people just believe what they think is right regardless of what they're "supposed" to think.

It's not about what you're "supposed to believe." It's about being consistent and knowing where you stand. Jesse has a lot of distrust for government but all it took was his friend Al Gore to convince him that the government should take over and do something. When someone has no clear beliefs and just makes up his positions on the fly, I'm afraid of what they will be convinced of next by all the propaganda.

I stopped liking Ventura after he came out against Citizens United. He has a lot of good positions, like gun rights and drugs, but he has an equal number of awful positions, like abortion, public school, and health care. This ticket seems like it should be coming from The Onion. If you want to be taken seriously, don't select Howard Stern as your running mate.
 
Ah, the perennial maybe-candidate blooms anew, planted right next to the ever-returning Donaldus Trumpus.
 
I doubt they'd even crack 0.0001% in polling. Maybe they'd be allowed in debates if they only polled people in psychiatric wards.

Yup that's the way I feel about him too. I'd consider voting for him if he was running against Clinton and Christie (although I'd probably just end up voting for the Libertarian), but if Rand was the GOP nominee it would be a no-brainer to vote for Rand. There's probably a few others that I would likely vote over Ventura as well.


Also if you thought what the msm did to Ron Paul was bad Ventura would get it a lot worse if he even became a marginal threat.

"Climate change" is a complete hoax, a scientific fraud exposed multiple times over. Regardless of one's political orientation, being in support of anything in the name of "climate change", "global warming" or any other envirohysterist keywords is a wrong policy.

On gun control, there is only one libertarian position, and the 2nd Amendment is it. There is no other defensible position, to my awareness, that is consistent with liberty.
