I'm still supporting Lincoln Chafee, even though he lost the password to his Facebook page.
He supports converting to the metric system, opening diplomatic relations with Iran, stopping Israeli settlements in the West Bank, stopping U.S. aid to the Syrian rebels, ending air strikes against ISIS, pressuring the EU to accept the Russian Federation as a member state, and "improving and expanding" U.S. cooperation with Latin America, which I read as code for supporting Argentina's claims in the South Atlantic.

Who the f*ck is Lincoln Chafee?
Ex Governor of Rhode Island ... got a B.A. in Latin from Brown and then spent the next 7 years working as one of the top racehorse farriers in Rhode Island; the Chafees have been a prestigious family in Rhode Island since the 1600s and held the Senate seat since the 1960s - his dad even has a destroyer named after him! He's not redneck trash like Hillary. There won't be cars on cinder blocks on the West Lawn and Ho-Hos at state dinners if Chafee is elected.

Unfortunately, there are now vastly more candidates than the maximum number of choices the poll allows so voting will have to be suspended until some start dropping out. The June results have been logged, however.

The Huffington Post has announced it's moving all future coverage of Donald Trump's campaign to the Entertainment section.
After watching and listening to Donald Trump since he announced his candidacy for president, we have decided we won't report on Trump's campaign as part of The Huffington Post's political coverage. Instead, we will cover his campaign as part of our Entertainment section. If you are interested in what The Donald has to say, you'll find it next to our stories on the Kardashians and The Bachelorette.

Mother Jones is lambasting the Huffington Post's decision:
Trump has indeed turned an important event—a major political party selecting its presidential nominee—into a stretch Hummer-sized clown car. A Trump-dominated GOP contest does have the feel of a super-charged reality show, with political consumers (that is, the audience) on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next Trump tweet—Trweet™—blasting another foe or critic. ("Hey Pope Francis, you suck!") Trump is campaigning as a bombastic buffoon, playing to the crowd and inspiring love-hate viewing. Yet, I believe my dear comrades at HuffPo (and I hope they will link to this article) are wrong.

I am interested in understanding what demographic he was trying to appeal to when making those comments.
All I can think of (and granted it's not much since I tend to try and avoid American news/culture outside of the business section) is he thinks that will appeal to some kind of weird macho neo-con libertarian.

I didn't at first catch the bit about supporting the metric system. Once I read that, I realized I'd unzip for him.

Republicans Have Most Trouble with English Language - Lincoln Chafee Supporters Smartest
According to a new study by the grammar-checking app Grammarly, supporters commenting on Democratic candidates’ Facebook pages made an average of 4.2 mistakes per 100 words compared to 8.7 mistakes for supporters of Republican candidates. The Democratic supporters also showed a larger vocabulary, using on average 300 unique words per 1,000 words, while Republicans used only 245. Of the entire field, Chafee supporters are most grammatical (while also being rarest), making 3.1 errors per hundred words. Trump supporters are far more numerous but most grammatically challenged, racking up 12.6 boo-boos per hundred words.

Sorry but Chafee is going nowhere fast. Just a bit of laughter from this sad man
