Some of these dem females are going to hurt themselves. Pitiful.
What is really pitiful is a non-serving cheap shot artist righty weakling shooting his vapid mouth off about things he knows nothing about.
One thing is certain, YOU would be the one who got hurt if you mouthed off to some of these candidates. Not that you'd have the nerve to. Pa-thet-ic.

Female veterans fight for a new mission: Fixing Congress

WASHINGTON – Amy McGrath’s latest campaign ad features a retired Marine Corps captain describing how the congressional candidate from Kentucky dropped a bomb on an enemy compound and “turned the tide for us” in the battle for the Iraqi city of Nasiriyah in 2003.
Mikie Sherrill, a House candidate from New Jersey, talks in her first campaign video about flying missions in Europe and the Middle East as a Sea King helicopter pilot in the Navy.
New Hampshire candidate Lynne Blankenbeker — a nurse, lawyer and Navy Reserve captain — touted her military service at her campaign launch in January, asking supporters if a million people in the military can put their differences aside and take care of this country, "why can't 435 people in Congress do that?"
The three are among at least 28 female veterans seeking House seats and four vying for the Senate in a record year for female candidates.
Fixing Washington is their new mission.
“Marines know we’re all on the same team,” McGrath, who flew 89 combat missions as a Marine pilot, says in her ad. “Congress is broken. We need a new generation to fix it.”
Within their ranks are eight Republicans, but most — 24 — are Democrats, according to a list compiled by the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.
Six Democratic candidates said in interviews that they were motivated at least in part by the results of the 2016 presidential election or by partisanship in Washington.
“So many veterans like myself are standing up because we’re concerned that our values are under attack, and that resonates with voters,” said Sherrill, a Democrat.
McGrath, also a Democrat, said the 2016 election left her a “changed person.”
“I just felt like, we need better political leaders on both sides of the aisle,” she said. “The fake news, the divisiveness, the labeling of every side. It’s wrong, and it’s not America.”
