Former Democratic presidential candidate Lincoln Chafee has filed to run for president as a Libertarian.
The former governor of Rhode Island on Sunday registered the “Lincoln Chafee For President” campaign committee with the Federal Election Commission, online records showed.
A fundraising website linked to the FEC filing states, “Lincoln Leads with TRUTH.”
Chafee moved to Wyoming last year and joined the Libertarian Party.
He was a Republican in the U.S. Senate and became an independent after losing his seat in 2006.
Chafee was then elected Rhode Island governor in 2010 as an independent and became a Democrat in office.
He did not run for reelection but mounted a short-lived run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2015.

Whatever.
And that’s being kind.
He should start up a new RINO Party. Then gather up donations of at least $53.00 over the next year and find out he can’t afford to file the nomination papers.
This nobody has been all over the place with his party loyalties with less excuse than Trump who did it for business purposes. Chafee is chaff that blows with the wind looking for another public teat, any party will do. Trump would never run for any office as a Democrat – the hate America party.
I had to look up who the hell he was.. He’s that un-noticable..
He has 2 chances of being elected president of the U. S.
1. Slim
2. None
and Slim has left the building.
So he’s been a Republican, an independent, a Democrat & now he’s a libertarian. Perhaps he should live in Casper, WY b/c he’ll likely be a ghost candidate . . . i.e. no one will see him.
Even if they see him they won’t see him. Because nobody likes him.
“He really is the worst”
— Lincoln Chafee’s mom
Translation, how can he win regardless of the party. LOSER!
Lincoln Chaffee. Who’s he? I find this to be totally laughable. The Socialist/Dems keep putting up candidate after candidate and they get no traction whatever. Soooo, pick your favorite Socialist/Dem train wreck and roll with it. Trump is definitely frustrating them. . . .
