4. WTF? Is this a joke?
If not, who put her up to this bonehead move? I'd better go over and check JPR...

I hope so, I would never vote for this, in my opinion, traitor.

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.

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.

This could get ugly.

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”.

36. I smell Trump and his Russian handlers
I 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.
:???: --- Manning is a Trump agent?

What does "Chelsea" want to suck so I can offer it up in printed 3D form? The DNA reject is so confusing. ..

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?

More proof the DUmmies are less intelligent than a box of rocks in pond scum...
I'm too stunned for a reply to this...

The only "great" I can associate with Franken is spelled "G R A T E"...

I believe it was in 2000 that Hillary Clinton was elected to the US Senate by a state in which she had "lived" for a few months at most.

Mr. mannings qualifications are:
He is a traitor, who damaged America
He has spent time in prison.
He has no experience
he has a mental deficiency because he can't figure out his gender.

You're right! He would be an absolutely perfect Democrat Party Senator! :rimshot:

Meaningless, the bigger hogs in that pen will just devour the stupid pouf in nothing flat. Could be some hilarious 'Overwrought fag' drama to bring tears of laughter to our eyes, though.

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.

The best response I saw of anyone on TV talking about this freak was a guy who simply referred to him as PVT. Manning over and over. No arguing with that!

Hell, the GOP candidate will never get the chance. I'll be shocked if he wins the Dem primary if he even gets off the starting line. The Dem candidates will shred him to pieces. That little poof is ****ing with people far better funded and way more evil than he could ever hope to be.

My apologies. I was reminded elsewhere that Bradley Manning was the traitor who leaked reams of secret information during the Bush years, not the traitor who deserted. Maybe if traitors were punished properly I wouldn't have so much trouble keeping them straight.
-
I think he knows his chances are nill. He views a campaign as an alternate source of income. BTW, is he carpetbagging? I mean what are the chances he lives in one of the few states that allow felons to participate in elections?

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.

Oops my bad. But of course Obama covered for both of them like the America hating bastard he was.

The Dems would never let Manning's campaign get too far, between the treason and the felony conviction.

Let's see how far they let it go. I'd be willing to bet that the rabid homosexual/transgender bloc will go batshit-crazy.

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.

Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) immediately comes to mind.

Alvin Greene would disagree.
