Yes but it will still present him with the dilemma of putting a big hurt on the Dem’s favorite pet, the sexual pervert. Hopefully, there will be lots of homo demonstrations during the primary campaign and lots of opportunities for press coverage of the candidates bitch-slapping each other and the mandatory Bash-Trump hysteria fests. Dems, deviants, death. Those three “D’s” go together nicely.
I call to memory the recent election of Danica Roem down in Prince William County, VA. (First openly transgender elected to the VA House of Delegates) There was a HUGE amount of money from outside VA that poured into that local election.
If Manning is able to mobilize even a portion of the same groups (after all, the label "transphobic" is a positive one among leftists) then there could be a real race. I have no doubt that Cardin will win in the end, but it could be bloody.
