President Jesse Ventura 2016
Getting Jesse Ventura on the Ballot for 2016 and to the DEBATES
Leading up to the 2012 presidential elections, Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura stated that he would consider a run for president in the 2016 elections if there were a grassroots movement to help spread the word. In a September 2012 radio interview with Alan Colmes, Ventura, who served as Minnesota Governor from 1999 to 2003, indicated he would consider running for president.
Around the same time, during his book promotion for "DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans: No More Gangs in Government," Ventura spoke with talk show host Larry King and Piers Morgan about a run in 2016. Ventura said there would be 2 criteria for him to run: a grassroots movement that doesn't cost money to get him on the ballots in all 50 states and the movement to be vocal enough to guarantee him in a spot in the debates. Ventura said "without the debates, you're dead in the water."
