Jenner files to run as Republican Governer of California.

OK...There is just so much to unpack in this one..It is dripping irony in so many directions. Now I get that Celebrity is a thing. And I dont care about her Gender, her politics or her fashion sense. But can anyone on any side explain to me how ANYTHING this person has actually done in life has qualified her to run a globally significant economy? Next stop Kardashianland..

Politics is nothing more than a popularity contest nowadays. It's not even about who can actually do the job anymore.

@SubstantialKick Good Point. Which then begs the question, how much thought do voters put into electing officials and what it their motivation. I will avoid comparisons to recent Presidents and stick to my point. If people arent going to vote sensibly. whats the result going to be?
@whowasthatmaskedman Will the Cons vote for a Trans Jenner because she has an R in front of her name. Will Bruce run for the Republicans knowing how they are taking rights away from the LGBTQ community.
Is this another R Celebrity thinking the Cons will believe anything they say, true or false?

@whowasthatmaskedman Probably no thought at all. Most probably just think of their favorite celebrity and are like, "Oh, I think he/she should run".

@Pitchblue And the irony grows.. Will anyone bring up the Olympic Athlete History or the Village people Movie connection. Will the Kardashian connection come into play.? So much meat on this one.. And we have not mentioned a word about actual policy yet...

@SubstantialKick Yeah. About that.. Suddenly Democracy doesnt look so great.
@whowasthatmaskedman Policy? Who needs policy she's running for the Republicans. Obstruction not Policy is their motto.

@Pitchblue OK.. As a Republican, what has she obstructed lately?
@whowasthatmaskedman The Republicans as a whole are obstructionists. There are hundreds of Bill's McConnell never brought to the Senate after being passed in Congress. There ate Republicans like Jim Jordan who has never brought any legislation up to be voted on. He and a handful of Republicans in Congress/Senate do absolutely nothing for their State. They are there to obstruct anything the Democrats present. The rest of the Republicans don't make any decisions they all vote party line. This is the party Caitlyn wants to represent.
