Chelsea Manning, the transgender former Army private who was convicted of passing sensitive government documents to Wikileaks, has filed to run for the U.S. Senate in Maryland, according to federal election filings.
Manning, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment, would be challenging Democrat Sen. Ben Cardin, who has served two terms in the Senate and is up for re-election in November. Cardin is Maryland’s senior senator and is considered an overwhelming favorite to win a third term.
no way for oprah just another big mouth celebrity who does not know what they are talking about and for which this country would be much dire situations than what we are at this time
no way would i vote for this person,a convicted felon and someone that sold out this country.why should we even vote at all,when the politicians campaign saying they need out vote and when they get into office and we write to them asking for them to support certain legislation we do not even exist as far they as are concerned. they even have the gall to vote themselves a raise for which they do not deserve.
Since Trump's election the bar has been set so low that even a traitor (Manning), and convicted criminal (Joe Arpaio) have the temerity to run for an elected office...an office that makes the laws of this country, laws that both of them have been convicted of breaking. Now that it is no secret that our standards for elected office are so low and Trump is a racist and loves Wikileaks perhaps Trump will invite Julian Assange to be one of his 'white' immigrants, hey why not let all the bottom-feeders take over instead of just a few.
Say what you will about your president, Sammy, at least he's not a convicted felon, a felon convicted of being a traitor to his country like your buddy Manning is.
You are right, president Trump is a non-convicted rapist, tax cheat, perjurer and probably 10 other things we don't know about. Just because he wasn't convicted does not make him any less innocent.
Dick, if you're insinuating that Trump will become a convicted felon, I've got $1000.00 that says he won't. As the old saying goes, "Put up or shut up."
So, Texas transplant joelp, what proof can you offer that Trump is a rapist, a tax cheater, and a perjurer other than your own worthless opinion? Let alone "10 other things" that you have no clue of what you speculate?

She is better than Ben Cardin.................................
Oh yea, I'll vote for him.. sorry her, then go vote for Oprah.
Um...no.

Don't forget statutory rapist - Judge Moore.
Sounds like you have the same ideology as this traitor....it’s sunny in Mexico and cold in Canada, pick one
As in, vote NO
"U.S. officials said the material placed the lives of U.S. soldiers and Afghan informants at risk", NO
I will never vote for a traitor. "HE" shouldn't even be on the streets much less allowed to run for office. I'm embarrassed to live in MD.
it is not an embarrassment to live in Maryland, it is who you vote for, all have equal rights, that is not a State law, that is federal law.
That traitor should be rotting in prison, setting him free was just one of Obama's many screw ups.
more words of wisdom from cd. how about the traitorous and lecherous fool at 1600 penn?

@joelp, And the sore losers continue the bogus smear campaign they started when their Royal Highness Wannabe lost.
Not yet, CD, not Yet!

Well Dick, is it a bet or not?

[thumbup] Samantha!
[thumbdown] Nicki!!!!! ([lol][lol][lol])
That one Trumps them all![lol]
Yes, I forget the details, but apparently Obama felt he was dealt with too harshly. Still Arpaio is just as bad, if not worse.
Of course Obama thought "it" was dealt with too harshly. what else would an anti-American socialist think?
Wow, never though I could support Ben Cardin
Exactly
[lol]
