With Chelsea Manning running for Senate, Democrats are scraping bottom in their 2018 lineup
American Thinker ^ | 01/14/2018 | Monica Showalter

In a year when Democrats are supposed to be taking over Congress, it's pretty amazing how shallow their bench is. Instead of offering strong candidates with real counter-ideas supposedly to oppose Republicans, they seem to have a larger than normal crop of human muck. Yet as the Roy Moore debacle showed Republicans, elections are won by attracting good candidates. With charmers like these in Democrats' current lineup, there's reason to question whether there's really going to be a wave.

Chelsea Manning is the latest to join this clown cavalcade, filing to run for a seat in the Maryland Senate.

It's an astonishing development, given the scope of Manning's crimes. While in a position of trust, Manning downloaded 700,000 government secrets and then forked them over to Wikileaks for global distribution, endangering U.S. agents and nullifying countless intelligence operations. He was then caught, sentenced to 35 years in Leavenworth, whined about not liking it, got special treatment in a government-funded sex change, and then received a pardon from President Obama, which he has since used to taunt the last two administrations and America in general, free and unaccountable for his crimes. He took to writing columns for the Guardian and living the celebrity lifestyle, taunting his detractors in Twitter, communicating almost exclusively in emojis.

Now he's in line with the Democrats for a Senate seat as they plan to take over Congress, which ought to go over real well with the Fort Meade crowd, in their home of the National Security Agency. And you thought Bluto in the Senate couldn't be outdone.

Yet the problem goes well beyond Manning.

Just last week, the hot desperate talk from Democrats was all about Oprah Winfrey, a daytime talk-show host, running for president to succeed President Trump.

But but Nate Silver assures me that this is a “wave” democrat election year. The House is gone and the Senate is gone. Why try? Trump’s popularity is at historic lows.

And Nate knows how to be right, just hours before the election.

A traitorous solder runs for a position in Congress.

Only in America.

Well, when you consider what’s floating on the top of the ‘Rat’s barrel, what’s at the bottom shouldn’t be so surprising.

Why would anyone vote for this trash? A traitor who doesn’t know if male or female.

DNC Chair Tom Perez,
What say you about this ‘development’?
Popcorn makers want to know.

Certainly couldn't imagine any possible rationale to support voting for trash like him/it, but maybe it's time to open up the checkbook and create a little mischief by helping to fund his/its campaign.

SOURCE:

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/01/are_there_enough_mentally_ill_voters_in_maryland_to_elect_chelsea_manning_to_the_senate.html

Let’s take a look at Democratic interest groups in Maryland.

On the one hand...

1) Mentally ill voters. Mentally ill voters, including but not limited to people who believe that you can change your sex, will flock to Bradley’s banner. You could say Bradley is the poster boy for mentally ill people.

2) Feminist voters. Feminist voters will probably tilt more to Bradley than to Senator Cardin. In fact, Chelsea can have crossover appeal with both men and women, given that his top half sort of looks female and his bottom half is male. (His top half is also male.) You could even say that Bradley is a balanced ticket all on his own.

3) America-hating voters. America-hating voters will love Bradley, since he betrayed our country by giving out thousands of our military secrets.

4) Criminal voters. Criminal voters will love Bradley, since Bradley is one of them!

5) Illegal alien voters. Illegal alien voters might vote for Bradley because, like criminal voters, they are criminals, too – just more virtuous ones.

6) Abortion issue voters. Bradley will probably have an advantage with pro-abortion voters. Bradley is an abortion inspiration. Pregnant women looking at Bradley will be more inclined to rush to have an abortion, for fear that their child will end up like him.

On the other hand:

7) Class warfare voters. Class warfare voters, who are concerned about taking money from those who have more of it and redistributing it to government bureaucracies, unions, and others, have no special reason to like Bradley and will probably stick with Cardin.

8) Islamic voters. Bradley probably will not have an advantage with Islamic voters, doing only statistically insignificantly better with Islamists who want to stone Bradley than with Islamists who want to throw Bradley off a rooftop. On the other hand, the votes of LGBTQ Muslims are in Bradley’s back pocket, if not unzipping his pants outright.

9) Environmentalist voters. Enviro-nuts – I mean environmentalist voters – have no special reason to vote for Bradley and so will probably stick with Cardin.

10) Racial hating voters. Minorities, who have been taught that white people hate them, have no special reason to vote for Bradley and will probably stick with Cardin.

So Bradley has a chance if he can mobilize crazy people, feminists, and criminals. Remember, this is Maryland, so anything is possible.

I plan to attend at least one of Brad’s campaign stops.You’ll know I was there because you’ll read a story in the Washington Compost about the guy who was tossing tampons at him.

Just 2 cents

Please! Judging that these loonies ran the little black Muslim Communist, a bonafide American Citizen, (wink, wink) leaving others to think: This will NEVER WASH; only shows that just as pollsters know nothing, they certainly know as much as everyone else. Keep the Government School system in place and this is what you get. Persons graduated who are strangers to OUR/THEIR Constitution, have no conception of Communism, Socialism; only looking to find their next joint, be it beer or pot. A Yuge bunch of losers who will have lost our country before they are out of the crib.

Cardin is running for reelection. He'll be their lineup in Maryland.

“Why would anyone vote for this trash? “

Approximately half of the American electorate voted for a woman who helped get rapists off and who sold 20% of America’s uranium to a Russian company. Nancy Pelosi has been reelected every year since
1802. Diane Feinstein...oh, heck, Diane Feinstein...need I write more?

Sounds like Manning is checking all the boxes of a modern-day Dem.

About as much of a chance as Cindy Sheehan when she ran for Nancy Pelosi's seat.

And will get even less funding.

Just like the two old fogies from the east coast is all they could come up with in the last election while the MSMLSD poked fun at the field of Republican candidates.
