Hillary Clinton might have a new headache.
On the eve of her presidential campaign launch, Lincoln Chafee, a former U.S. senator and governor from Rhode Island, announced Thursday that he is exploring a run for the Democratic presidential nomination. And unlike other potential Clinton challengers, Chafee appears to be spoiling for a fight.

Surprisingly, he is only 62. Younger than Hillary, younger than Warren.

He doesn’t have his father’s character.

Chafee? Oh please. He is a consummate liar and a hack.
He'd be perfect for the Dem ticket. He's switched party before.

Run Linc, Run!
You can never have too many wingnuts in a Democrat Party debate. Hey, what happened to Bernie Sanders' run?

Lincoln who?
For that matter, Bernie who?
The Clinton dynasty spent YEARS breathing up all the oxygen in the room. There is no serious depth to the bench, should Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, fail to launch an effective campaign.
And there is no certainty whatsoever, that Herself will gain much if any traction with the current electorate.

What a coincidence, so is my dog. She has as much of a chance to win as this RINO turncoat.

An out of work democrat, with the usual marketable skills. Therefore, he needs another government bailout in the form of elective office.

Clinton/Warren/Sanders/Biden/O’Malley/Chafee Democrats for President 2016: MOAR CLOWN CAR!!! Wow. Those candidates all have the charisma of a boiled clam without the drawn butter. Of the bunch, I guess you could say Biden has the most personality, if being a gaff-o-matic constitutes a personality.

Anyone who runs to the Former Twelfth Lady's left is helping her (knowingly or unknowingly) by making her look “moderate”.
