Lincoln Chafee Launching Longshot White House Bid as Libertarian
[BREITBART] Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee will mount a longshot bid for the presidency as a Libertarian Party candidate, taking another stab at the White House after his failed bid for the 2016 Democrat nomination.

On Sunday, Chafee submitted paperwork to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to create the Lincoln Chafee for President campaign committee, CNN first reported.

"Protect Our Freedoms. Tell The Truth. No More Wars. No More Reckless Spending," read slogans on a website included in Chafee’s filings.

Chafee, who was a Republican for most of his life, formally switched to the Democrat Party in 2013. He ran for the Democrat nomination three years later against Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around...
(I-VT), former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D), former Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA), and Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away...
, who became the party’s nominee but was defeated by Donald Trump
...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election...
Chafee was nominated to replace his late father’s Senate seat in 1999 and was elected the following year as a Republican. In 2006, the senator was defeated by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI). He then served as the Ocean State’s governor between 2011-2015 as an independent.

#3 To the people actually sending money to this guy: Why don't you just smoke crack? It's just as harmful but at least it's momentarily gratifying.

Or better yet, find a worthy charity, m'K?

Chaffee, the Charlie Crist of Rhode Island--both confused.
