Vermin Supreme running for president, still wants to give everyone a pony

Vermin Supreme running for president, still wants to give everyone a pony

Perennial political candidate Vermin Supreme filed papers on Friday to run for the presidential primary in New Hampshire.

In a field that includes 30 Republicans and 28 Democrats, the Maryland Democrat stands out for his unique headgear, lush, wizard-like beard, and consistently pro-pony platform. Asked about how he’d defeat terrorists, he answered “Hooves on the ground and boots on our heads!” Political Monitor reports that Mr. Supreme paid his $1,000 registration fee in $50 bills marked “not to be used for bribing politicians.”

He does look presidential.

"Interesting" guy, to say the least. IIRC he ran as a Republican in 2000.
