Drop out of the race, Chelsea

Credit:  https://www.garybarker.co.uk/images/Chelsea-Bradley-Manning-Cartoon.jpg

Dear Chelsea:

Hello. I came to speak to you tonight on your decision to run for the US Senate.  I don't follow Senator Cardin's record very closely, me being from Connecticut.  Maybe he's a good choice, maybe not.  Anyhow, you decided to run against him.

Despite your feelings regarding him, this is not simply a silly notion.  I understand your feelings - but this is so fundamentally stupid it beggars description.  Those in your immediate vicinity may call you Miss Wonderful, but there are legions of people - not only Republicans but Democrats and independents who would much rather see you rot in jail - and that's if you're lucky.

I didn't see things quite their way.  I did understand your frustration - but, come on, giving things to Wikileaks and their questionable(!) leader Julian Assange shows that, uh, you ain't too bright.  In the meantime, competent transgender leaders suffer under your "leadership".  You have SERIOUS questions that they should not have to answer.

Just thank your lucky stars that President Obama saw fit to free you - but get the hell out of the race.  Today.

Sincerely,

Emily Shorette
