Wolf Blitzer bulldozes Lincoln Chafee in painful interview, tells him he has 'no chance'
Wolf Blitzer is out to crush Lincoln Chafee's hopes and dreams. In an interview following up on Tuesday's Democratic presidential debate, Blitzer began by reading off headlines that skewer Chafee's lousy performance.
"Here's what worries me, governor: Because of your distinguished career, you're going to wind up looking silly if you keep going on like this," Blitzer told the former U.S. senator. Blitzer went on to say that Chafee has "no chance" and demanded to know, "At what point will you drop out?"
"I'm in it as far as I can continue to raise these issues," Chafee choked out while his face contorted into all kinds of hurt. Take a deep breath and watch the brutal interview below. Jeva Lange
