Running as a Democrat (big surprise) in Maryland.

I’m sure at least one member who posts here will be wishing he could vote for him.

How is he even allowed? His sentence was commuted, not pardoned. He was dishonorably discharged, which essentially makes him a felon. He can't even vote. How can he run for office?

I guess you can be a traitorous felon and still be in the Senate.

In fact, that’s a good description for many of our Senators.

Apparently the constitution allows it but state laws can be different

So you plan to make a campaign contribution to old Brad?

Either knock it off, or stop posting in the thread. Somebody posts a factual observation, and you turned it personal.

Way too much of that in GD.

Just razzing you a bit.

I wonder what his chances are? Hard to run any further to the left than the incumbent already is in this instance.

He will get a fair amount of the vote, which I find to be a clear indicator of the moral compass of the Democrats these days.

To hell with his gender issues, the guy is a convicted felon. He'll raise millions for the campaign from the LGTBQBBQ groups and get plenty of votes. Were he a Republican candidate who had a felon conviction for any crime whatsoever the Democrats would be screaming from the rooftops, "HOW CAN WE LET THIS HAPPEN?!?" But he's a libtard who's upset about his penis, so the left will embrace him like 2018's Joan of Arc.

If you squint your eyes a bit, he looks like the dude from the Human League....kinda.

Anyways, I hope he ends up as a San Gran Rent Boy
