Chelsea Manning eyes U.S. Senate seat for Maryland

Chelsea Manning, the transgender U.S. Army soldier who served seven years in military prison for leaking classified data, is seeking the Democratic Party's nomination for the U.S. Senate seat from Maryland, according to Federal election filings seen on Saturday.

[...] Democratic Senator Ben Cardin was elected in 2006 to that seat and is expected to run for re-election this year. He is the senior Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Cardin was easily re-elected in 2012, beating his Republican challenger by 30 points in the heavily-Democratic state.

  I see you left out the ice rink. President Trump wrote about it in one of his books. You should buy all his books.

  That tax bill is a disaster... for rich people in high-tax states. Can't we tax Madonna a bit more? I think so. I think it's a fine idea. Middle class people are struggling, and they need the tax cut.

  The golf courses and hotels are pretty sweet. Not every business will be a success. People like Obama and Hillary, who never even tried running a business, are failures by default.
