Washington (AFP) – The already large field of Democratic presidential candidates has grown again: Joe Sestak, a former Pennsylvania congressman with an extensive military background, said Sunday that he plans to seek the presidency.
“I’m Joe Sestak, and I wore the cloth of the nation for over 31 years in peace and war, from the Vietnam and Cold War eras to Afghanistan and Iraq and the emergence of China,” he said in a video announcing his candidacy.
A retired three-star admiral, Sestak represented Pennsylvania’s 7th congressional district for two terms, from 2007 to 2011, and has mounted two unsuccessful runs for the US Senate.
His experience, during his 31-year naval career, included a command position in a region now much in the news: In 2002, he led a carrier strike group during combat operations in the Gulf.
Sestak, whose father was a navy man, also served on the national security staff under President Bill Clinton. He holds a doctorate in government and political economy from Harvard.
Sestak has a reputation as something of a maverick and party outsider.
He is pro-choice, supports gun control, and backed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. more
Dems are going to need a double-decker clown car!
Sleestak? https://media.aintitcool.com/media/legacy/images2007/sleestaksold.jpg

Clown car? More like a sewer truck.
Who could have guessed that Obama the rodeo clown would start such a following.
Left Coast Dan, you beat me! I was thinking, “Land of the Lost? How did the Sleetak’s get here?! Send him BACK!”
“He is pro-choice, supports gun control, and backed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.”
He is pro-Infanticide, supports Tyranny, and backed the 2015 expansion of Iran’s nuclear capabilities against Israel and Western Civilization.
There, fixed it for ya.

Shit Truck is more like it.
Old Joe Shitstack’s going to climb aboard the clown car. They’re really digging through the closet trying to find someone that can grab some traction.
This is another sign of how discouraged they are and how low their turnout will be.
Great, Now We got two “Rear” Admirals to choose from….
I’ve voted against him TWICE here in PA – pity I’ll NEVER get to vote against him for President! 😆
What’s the count now? 33? Because every time someone mentions candidates the number fluctuates. It’s like the Left doesn’t want to mention some of them.
They had to upgrade the campaign heist,,,
