Pdoggg Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Transgender activist and reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner and her political advisers are gathering at her Malibu home next week to discuss her potential candidacy in the upcoming California gubernatorial recall election. The meeting comes as Jenner, a 71-year-old Olympic gold-medal decathlete and Republican activist who for years appeared on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” explores whether to enter the race. After batting down rumors earlier this year that she was open to running, Jenner has been taking more concrete steps to prepare for a potential campaign than have been previously reported. Jenner has brought aboard a team of seasoned GOP strategists. The team includes Ryan Erwin, a former top official at the California Republican Party who had roles on Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush’s presidential campaigns, who is serving as a general consultant. According to two people familiar with the hires, she has also tapped Harmeet Dhillon, a Republican national committeewoman and San Francisco-based attorney, to be general counsel. Jenner has also been working with Caroline Wren, a longtime Republican fundraiser, and Brad Parscale, a former campaign manager to ex-President Donald Trump. The four are expected to attend next week’s meeting with Jenner and her manager, Sophia Hutchins. Jenner has also been conferring with other Republicans about the race, including Dave Rexrode, the executive director of the Republican Governors Association. Recall organizers say they have submitted a sufficient number of signatures to force an election later this year to recall Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, whose approval ratings have dipped amid widespread criticism over his handling of the coronavirus and the state’s battered economy. The ballot would consist of two questions: whether to remove Newsom from office, and who should be the new governor. A poll released last week showed support for removing Newsom is well short of a majority, however. In the unfolding pandemic, economic crisis and reckoning on race, governors and mayors are shaping our shared future. Who are the power players, and how are they driving politics and influencing Washington? Word of Jenner’s potential candidacy has divided top California Republicans — with some dismissing it as a celebrity-driven stunt, and others arguing that she would be a strong candidate who could appeal to voters of both parties. Former Rep. Mimi Walters (R-Calif.) contended that Jenner would be a force given her high profile. In a short race that will transpire over only a few months, Walters argued, familiarity matters. “If Caitlyn Jenner decides to run for California governor in the recall election, I think she would be a very formidable candidate,” said Walters. But Mike Murphy, a longtime California-based Republican strategist pointed out that the 2003 California recall election drew other celebrity candidates who fizzled. The roster included everyone from the late actor Gary Coleman to porn star Mary Carey and Hustler publisher Larry Flynt. “I learned from the rather amazing and Robert Altman-esque candidate list from the last recall election in 2003 not to take too much of the pre noise very seriously. I think it would most likely be a stunt candidacy, but we’ll see,” said Murphy, who advised bodybuilder and Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s successful campaign that year. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/08/caitlyn-jenner-california-governor-run-480232 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody has been taking too many estrogen hormones and smoking crack. Caitlyn Jenner will get no support from the Trumpified Retruglicans party, and she has COMPLETELY alienated hereself from her natural allies (the gay boys and trans community). Her exploration of her candidacy is emblematic of the white transgirl experience...successful white guys used to running the world, transition with all their money, and delusionally think they have the same status after they transition. They don't, but they can persist in the delusion if they have enough money to hirer retainers who will always say "yes" if the consulting fee is big enough. You will see that ALL of the successful trans leaders have come up through the trans support/gay ally democratic party because that is the community that has the lived experience of most trans people. I almost feel like this article should be place under the "Jokes" thread. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
