Star Member MineralMan (102,609 posts) 4. WTF? Is this a joke?If not, who put her up to this bonehead move? I'd better go over and check JPR...
john657 (123 posts) 6. Is this a joke?I hope so, I would never vote for this, in my opinion, traitor.
Star Member peggysue2 (1,169 posts) 14. Ah . . .No! And challenging Ben Cardin who just released the Report from the Foreign Intelligence Committee on pervasive Russian influence in our elections and systems and those of our Allies? Double No! I suggest Ms Manning chat up Julian Assange, see if he has any openings at Wikileaks.
Star Member JohnnyRingo (11,780 posts) 15. Since when did the senate become an entry level position?The moran in the White House is a perfect example of what happens when we elect an "outsider" who hasn't climbed the rungs of politics for higher ofice. There are exceptions of course, like the great Al Franken, but usually jumping into a job without qualification is foolish. Ms Manning should test the waters at a state level office first to see if she has the chops, not only for politics, but to see if she can even weather the slings and arrows of an election, IMO.

Star Member Me. (17,546 posts) 28. SeriousLy?Why doesn't she challenge a Con instead that of a seated, valuable Senator? Perhaps as she has never held office she should start with local gov. first. I find it ironic that a person convicted of handing over docs to Wikileaks would challenge one of the few senators who is trying to stop cyber crimes. “Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are calling on the Trump administration to vastly expand the U.S. response to Russian interference in elections, with increased sanctions and a new inter-agency body to coordinate government policies. In a 200-page report commissioned by Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland and released Wednesday, Democratic committee staff describe efforts by Russia to influence elections throughout Europe for years and say many of those countries have made aggressive moves to push back. With months to go before this year’s midterm elections, the Democrats contend that Washington does not yet have a coherent plan to confront Russian cyber campaigns aimed at disrupting U.S. democracy. Cardin — a longtime critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin — said it was time to develop one”. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-cardin-russian-20180109-story.html
jmowreader (37,593 posts) 36. I smell Trump and his Russian handlersI also expect Trump and his Russian handlers to try this against every Democratic senator up for election this year: pick people who are so awful I could beat them in November to primary every sitting Democratic senator in this class. With enough crossover voting, some of those individuals could make it to November...at which point they're easy pickings for the GOP. There is a simple and effective way to counter this, but it's expensive: every damn time one of Trump's plants files to run for the Senate as a Democrat, we have someone whose campaign platform revolves around getting rid of Trump and erasing all the harm he has done file to run as a Republican.

Mr. mannings qualifications are:He is a traitor, who damaged AmericaHe has spent time in prison.He has no experiencehe has a mental deficiency because he can't figure out his gender.
I hope he wins the democrat primary, just so the GOP candidate can constantly refer to him as "Bradley" and freak out the PC crowd.
I thought DU-folk loved Bradley Manning, other than very up close and VERY personal. Don't they believe being a deserter who got several GOOD soldiers killed trying to rescue him is great campaign bio material?
I think those camelhumpers used him so many times he just got used to it.
Bradley Manning was caught giving secret government documents to Wikileaks. Bowe Bergdahl was the soldier who went AWOL, surrendered to the Taliban and got some soldiers killed looking for him.
The Dems would never let Manning's campaign get too far, between the treason and the felony conviction.
BTW, is he carpetbagging?
I think he is corn holing. He may think being a tranny is a vote getter, but being a traitor and a felon kind of kills that .
Not so fast. There are a couple of impeached Judges (D's) sitting in the US congress. If bribery convictions are not disqualifiers for Democrats, neither will betraying your country be a disqualifier. Never underestimated the stupidity of Democrat voters...or their loyal dead voters. This IS Maryland after all.
I'd be willing to bet that the rabid homosexual/transgender bloc will go batshit-crazy.
