Stalinist Seaman Sleestak reporting for doody.

The already large field of Democratic presidential candidates has grown again: Joe Sestak, a former Pennsylvania congressman with an extensive military background, said Sunday that he plans to seek the presidency.
“I’m Joe Sestak, and I wore the cloth of the nation for over 31 years in peace and war, from the Vietnam and Cold War eras to Afghanistan and Iraq and the emergence of China,” he said in a video announcing his candidacy.
A retired three-star admiral, Sestak represented Pennsylvania’s 7th congressional district for two terms, from 2007 to 2011, and has mounted two unsuccessful runs for the US Senate.
His experience, during his 31-year naval career, included a command position in a region now much in the news: In 2002, he led a carrier strike group during combat operations in the Gulf.
Sestak, whose father was a navy man, also served on the national security staff under President Bill Clinton. He holds a doctorate in government and political economy from Harvard.
Sestak has a reputation as something of a maverick and party outsider.
He is pro-choice, supports gun control, and backed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
Sestak’s late entry into an already crowded field — which he said came after his daughter’s brain cancer returned — will complicate his path forward.
Along with three other candidates, he missed the cutoff to be included in the first two televised debates, which will feature 20 Democratic candidates and be held on Wednesday and Thursday in Miami.

Thank you for your service admiral, but leave it at that.
All nice, except that he is a Dem and is trying to run against Pres. Trump, instead of supporting him.
Visible proof you can be a left wing vet!
“pro-choice, supports gun control, and backed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. “
Nice that he is an admiral, but his positions are not reasonable.
pathetic grab for campaign cash.

Admiral for which side? Putrid beliefs resume (gun control and the “I Love Iran” Obama traitor’s deal with Iran?).
He has to self identify as gay and change to “Josephine” and take skin injections to turn black, with dna proof of ancient relatives who were native Americans——or he isn’t invited to the party.
Every time I hear about this guy, I'm reminded of the Sleestak:
The Sleestak are a reptilian bipedal humanoid species...now are degenerate race that have lost much of their knowledge and culture."
Does not compute. He backs the moonbat Stalinist line 100%, so how does that make him a maverick and outsider ?

Wait a minute. He is pro-choice, supports gun control, and backed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. How does that make him “something of a maverick?”
Matters not one bit. The DNC will pick their candidate, and that will be the end of that. The rest of this is just one giant dog and pony show for the benefit of the Dems who think their primary votes actually matter.
HA! You beat me to it!!!
Like weeds, these people never go away.....
He is pro-choice, supports gun control, and backed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal...
I never served so I won’t say anything disparaging...but supported the Iran nuclear deal???
I am thankful for his service but it’s time to go away.
At this point, it might be easier to say who’s NOT running for president on the D ticket.
Same here. Did you know Detroit Piston Bill Laimbeer was one of the Sleestaks?
“backed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal”
Damn fool.
This clown was never in Vietnam as he was not commissioned until 74. He is Vietnam ERA. He led a carrier group in the ocean during the Iraq war. He has never seen combat.
“He is pro-choice, supports gun control, and backed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.”
I dont care if he served 1000 years, that’s a NO for me.
