Despite a playful hypothetical earlier in the week about running with Donald Trump, former Gov. Jesse Ventura has endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders. In addition, Ventura referred to Trump as a "benevolent dictator" whose immigration plan is "ridiculous." The more Independents who jump on the Democratic side, the better it looks for the country heading into 2016.

His actual quote:
"He's (Trump) not the benevolent dictator, not like you are when youre head of a corporation. He has to understand that government is a system of checks and balances, and people have to work together and compromises have to happen."
No Donald, you can't run the government like you run your companies.
