Bradley Manning, who goes by "Chelsea" because he thinks he is a woman, could end up as the unlikeliest hero in history for Republicans. The soldier-traitor-"transgender" activist recently announced a bid for Senate in the deep blue state of Maryland, securing a place on the ballot in the Democratic primary. Manning is challenging incumbent Senator Ben Cardin, the highest ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Wonder of wonders, Manning could end up handing a safe Senate seat for Democrats to the GOP, balancing out the loss in Alabama for the Grand Old Party.
Manning is many things to many people. To veterans and current military personnel, he is an unrepentant traitor who carelessly handed over classified information to WikiLeaks, putting active-duty troops in danger. To leftists and libertarians, Manning is a whistleblower who bypassed traditional media outlets to warn the world about America's war crimes.
Even the government is split on what Manning is. For indiscriminately sending 700,000 military field reports and diplomatic cables to a Russia-friendly foreign entity, Manning was charged with numerous crimes, including espionage. But, after serving seven years of his 35-year sentence, former president Barack Obama commuted his sentence.

Not likely. Cardin will win the nomination and the election.
He is not running. He’s just saying he is.
If it looks like that might actually happen, Manning will be offered a tenured faculty position at Harvard, Stanford, or Berkeley, and strongly advised to take it.
Manning is looking for a pay day.
Even as optimistic as I am, I can’t believe the Dems would elect this clown (or clownette) over Cardin...
The Left are sick animals. I wont hold it past them..
She/he has filed to run for Senate in Maryland, according to federal election filings.
This first filing is nothing more than "Look at me"...I'm important".
One big sicko...
I doubt the it has an undergrad degree. The he was an EM.
Has he had his, you know, surgical procedure??
Which he?
. . . and somebody is paying him to do what he is for news distractions sake. As his sentence is under appeal, he is still technically in as the Dishonorable Discharge was a part of the sentence.
Like others have said, this is a publicity stunt aimed at getting him money for nothing from like minded idiots.
Also, until someone comes up with a way to swap that goofy little chromosome thingy, he is a he, period.
Just because somebody paints a Yugo with Cadillac Firemist paint, it is not a Cadillac.
Traitor and pervert. A perfect fit for the democrat party.
Does this guy have any concept of just how revolting he looks while playing dress up?
Well, let’s hope #TheResistance does, in fact, nominate this tranny. Maryland is a closed primary state, so unfortunately there won’t be any type of Operation Chaos assistance we can lend him.
I’ve stopped trying to underestimate the extent of the left’s insanity. Like filibustering Gorsuch or shutting down the government over illegal aliens, maybe they can do us a solid here too.
I doubt it.
As has been all the rest of his life...
Won’t get past Cardin. Fake news on OUR side. We’re better than that. I would be nice if enough GOP voters switched to give him the nomination but e’re not that smart or devious. Even the rats need open primaries to pull that off.
Open primaries can be a gift....
