The Nation's Chris Hayes asks, "Remember when Pat Buchanan ran a number of hard-right, fringe campaigns for president in the late 1980s, 1990s and 2000?" Actually, I don't. I remember him running for the Republican nomination in 1992 and 1996, finishing second both times (obviously a more significant accomplishment in '96 than '92), and being the Reform Party nominee in 2000. That's it. Maybe Hayes is counting the 1988 campaign that was considered but never launched.
