Take on Lincoln Chafee

Well that didn't last long. Today Lincoln Chafee announced he would be making a big campaign announcement and for the first time in his campaign people took notice because he dropped out. When he showed up at the debate we were surprised he was even in the race although we are using "in" very liberally here. He bumbled and stumbled and before you knew it he was gone a week after old Jim Webb threw in his towel.
What made this inevitable (other than the fact his poll numbers were basically 0) was that this week the Times ran a story to say that Chafee had exactly ten big donors and by big donors it counts anybody who has donated $200 or more. In today's world $200 for a candidate like Carson or Hillary isn't a big donor, it is hardly a donor at all. I bet you can't even get a Jeb hat for that donation or a Bern Baby Bern bumper sticker. So I feel for old Lincoln but we are happy that he finally realized what we all knew, nobody likes you, nobody knows you and nobody cares enough to show up to your funeral. You are the George Bell of politicians

Wait, is this Chafee guy a Repiblican or Democrat?

Don't know. Don't care.
