Former Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee formally announced his bid for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination on Wednesday, becoming the third candidate to challenge party front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Chafee, 62, a former Republican U.S. senator as well as an independent for a short time, announced his campaign in a speech at George Mason University in Virginia, just outside Washington. He became a Democrat in 2013.

"I enjoy challenges and certainly we have many facing America," Chafee said, adding: "Today, I'm formally entering the race for the Democratic nomination for president."

Although his 2016 bid is a long shot, Chafee's entry into the race adds one more challenger facing Clinton, the former senator and U.S. secretary of state.

Former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley announced his bid for the Democratic nomination on Saturday and liberal U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont is also running as a Democrat....

MSM is not interested in exposing Clinton corruption. ____________________________________________________________

Not so anymore. The MSM do not want her as the Dem candidate; they want Lie-awatha Warren. And, may I remind you that the liberal, New York Times was the first to grab the “Clinton Cash” story and run with it. They have been unmerciful in their treatment of her. Following suit was the WAPO, ABC News and CNN. MSM liberals all. They do not like Her Thighness. She is yesterday’s news..... tired, old and fat.

Cruz is my guy. But I’ve always been a fan of metric. So if it comes down to Cruz or Chafee, well....

The payback that His Arrogance will award Slick Willie and Benghazi Clinton goes all the way back to when he ran for his first term. The Clinton war-dogs (including Sid Vicious, et al) attacked him unmercifully. He and his handler, Valarie Jarrett, don’t forgive and forget.

You will note that all the Clinton Global Crime Initiative scandal leaks are not coming from the Republicans or an investigative Press (didn’t see it on 60 Minutes didyah). All of the leaks are being made from inside the Administration who not only hates the Clintons but want a bigger communist to run IF there are elections in 2016.

You will note that His Arrogance’s a$$ wipe and step-n-fetchit eunuch Slow Joe is not making any moves to run for president ... is he aware there won’t be any election in 2016 because of martial law and he will continue as chief a$$ wipe and step-n-fetchit eunuch , he was told he Peter Principled out at VP or is he waiting for everyone else to be wiped out and be the only choice available.

Been listening to the overnight radio Conspiracy/UFO dudes again; huh? Your reply to me had credibility up to that point. That is ridiculous. As narcissistic as he is, he could never pull that off; there really would be a Revolution if he tried that. Besides Michelle, hates the White House and can’t wait to get herself and her daughters out of there.
