Appearing on the Alex Jones Show on Wednesday, former Minnesota
governor Jesse Ventura talked with Alex about the possibility of Ron
Paul leaving the Republican Party and joining the Libertarian Party as
their presidential candidate and if he would run with the Texas
congressman.
On Sunday, Paul told CNN’s “State of the Union” program that he has not ruled out a third party run
if he is not nominated by the Republicans to run against Obama in 2012.
He was the Libertarian Party’s presidential nominee in 1988 and ran for
the GOP nomination in 2008.
Jim Lesczynski,
media relations director for the Manhattan Libertarian Party, told ABC
News on Sunday that his party would welcome Ron Paul as its candidate.
“Absolutely, that would be fabulous,” he said, but stressed that Paul
would have to make the move by the first week of May when the party
selects a candidate.
Ventura told Alex’s audience that Paul is handling his run
“brilliantly” because he needs to remain in the Republican Party in
order to stay in the debates and use the establishment media to make his
political stand on the issues known.
“He should cling to the Republicans all the way until they make their
choice,” Ventura said. “That way he can get all the free air time, even
though mainstream media ignores him.” He said the Republican debates
are “virtually unwatchable” and Rep. Paul is “clearly the only one who
makes any sense whatsoever out of the whole bunch of candidates up
there.”
Alex then approached Ventura directly about the prospect of running
with Paul. “I would give it serious consideration,” Jesse relied. “I
would not say right now if whether yes or no because naturally I would
have to discuss with my family before I would do any venture like that.”
He was then asked if he would seek the Libertarian nomination on his
own if for whatever reason Ron Paul did not run. Jesse said that would
require the Libertarians asking him. He noted that they have not done so
in the past, so “the ball would be in their court.”
