John Anderson was a liberal Republican (called RINO) who ran on the Republican ticket in the 1980 presidential campaign. He dropped out in the spring to become an independent candidate and barely got 7% of the vote in November, and hardly seen as a "spoiler" of that election, because people were fed up with Carter, and Reagan was seen as likeable by a sizeable majority of Democrats and Republicans.

In 1984, he supported Mondale.

He's nothing more than a Jim Jeffords.
