Not that being a jerk automatically disqualifies a person from becoming a candidate these days: anyone with airfare and a website can jump in.

I'll bring Melania." Ventura said, "Great. I'll bring Woody Harrelson...

He says he's not just looking to get his hands on the party's $13 million in federal matching funds or to have a podium at the debates or to gain spoiler status. "I'm not running for some measly 22%.
