So this is what happens when a third-party candidate gets elected to statewide office. :/
I'm disappointed to see this. I supported him for the election.
Nah, third party candidates (Ventura, King, Sanders) can be effective and popular politicians in their states. Chafee does have two years to recover but he needs to carve out a base.
Ventura was actually very unpopular when he left office and Sanders is basically a Democrat in everything but name.
"Pox on both your houses" independents are rarely very successful.
