FULL TITLE: Chelsea Manning to run for US Senate: Transgender former soldier who leaked classified data to WikiLeaks is seeking Democratic nomination in Maryland

Chelsea Manning, the transgender U.S. Army soldier who served seven years in military prison for leaking classified data, is seeking the Democratic Party's nomination for the U.S. Senate seat in Maryland, according to Federal election filings seen on Saturday.

Manning, who was granted clemency by former U.S. President Barack Obama, was released in May from a U.S. military prison in Kansas where she had been serving time for passing secrets to the WikiLeaks website in the biggest breach of classified data in the history of the United States.

Democratic Senator Ben Cardin was elected in 2006 to that seat and is expected to run for re-election this year. He is the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

He doesn’t have to compete in an election; He can just declare himself a “transenator”.

By "run for the Senate", I presume they mean, "be a candidate for the Democratic Party NOMINATION to run for the Senate".

Since the Democratic candidate is assured of a seat in the Senate, and since being elected to the Senate for even a single term guarantees retirement as a multi-millionaire from bribes and corruption, I am quite sure that serious Democratic candidates will abound and that Mr. Manning's publicity stunt will end before or shortly after the primary is over.

Meet the democrats Roy Moore, except 10000 times worse

Yes, except the Democrats are well-organized and focused on power.

There is no Democratic Todd Aiken, Christine O'Donnell, Roy Moore, or Richard Mourdock, and there never will be.

I wouldn't be a darn bit surprised if the liberals made hem-her-it their god, savior and king... It seems they will latch onto and worship the most vile and filthy things imaginable...

I don't know..... If you think about, there's not a whole lot of difference between that thing and say, Barney Fag, or anyone of another fifty or so dimocraps in the house and senate...

"You can’t hold office if you’re convicted of a felony!"

Q: Can a convicted felon serve in elected office? A: The Constitution allows a convicted felon, such as Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, to be a member of Congress, even if in prison. It’s up to the Senate or House to decide who may serve. As for state offices, different laws apply in different places. Factcheck.org.
