2 Transgender Women Make History With Congressional Primary Wins
The Huffington Post ^ | June 29, 2016 | Jennifer Bendery

WASHINGTON — Transgender women won two congressional primary races Tuesday night — and made history as the first trans people to become major candidates for the U.S. House or Senate.

Utah voters chose Misty Snow (D) to run against Sen. Mike Lee (R) in November. In Colorado, voters backed Misty Plowright (D) to take on Rep. Doug Lamborn (R).

It’s a long shot for either to get elected. Utah is a solidly Republican state, and Lamborn’s district in Colorado is extremely conservative. Still, it’s a positive sign that transgender candidates aren’t just out there, they can also succeed.

“In what is already shaping up to be one of the most consequential elections for LGBT equality in more than a generation, yesterday’s primary wins by two transgender women candidates continues to add to the historic nature of November’s election,” said Malcolm Lazin, executive director of the Equality Forum, an LGBT rights group. “In many different ways, such as by running for office as an openly LGBT candidate or serving our country in uniform, LGBT people continue to show that we are as much a part of the fabric of America as anybody else.”

Liberals demand we accept men who “identify” as women, but they refuse to accept terrorists who “identify” as Mooslim.

I'm stealing this comment and plan to recite it verbatum without ceasing.

Two seats the lefties can’t win, so they throw in a couple of sex perverts for a laugh...like we’re having now. Do the two ‘RAT joke candidates know or care?

Anything that normalizes irrationality and vice in children is celebrated by the Satanists (the “Kill God” group) who do promote their religion to children 24/7 in the skools to destroy virtue formation in children so they are slaves. Vice creates slavery.

Removing the Laws of Nature and Objective Truth (Reason/Logic—Our Constitution and “Justice” (virtue) system), so that the irrational Satanists can teach our children that mutilation of self and denial of reality and hate of a particular sex is “Good”.

In other words, they are flipping 2000 years of ethics back to the tribal, irrational vile ethics of satanism/tribalism, where you can use human beings (and self) as a Means to an End which is unconstitutional. Unalienable Natural Rights can’t be given away or taken—and you can never do demeaning, evil acts on others or self in a true “Justice” System.

So, two men, who dress like women, are running for Congress. Yeah, this is great and “groundbreaking”.

American “history” is starting to resemble a comic book.

Democrats: confused about the Constitution, climate, gender and just about everything else.

No, it is not along shot for both or either to be elected. Given the low state our morals , as a Nation have fallen, combined with the raise in degeneracy we, again as a Nation,have aspired to achieve, they have at least a 50-50 chance of being elected. I would opine that a more realistic figure would be 75-25 or 90-10.

Beat me to it! ;-) Democrats can’t find enough real women to run, so they have to run pretend women! I can’t wait to hear the stories from the Congressional Women’s Rooms!

UCK. The future of the Demoncrat candidates? Perverts? Wait...they already have a bunch. And a lot of them are up on indictments for various corruption activities. Yet the low IQ voters will still vote for them. A rusted boat, covered fore to aft with barnacles, leaks, and rats, yet the stupid don’t get the hint to abandon ship.

It is just another sign that we are at the end of the lead up to the end times.
