Caitlyn Jenner is learning the hard way that maybe campaigning to be Governor of California from a hotel room 8,100 miles away wasn’t such a great idea after all.
The 71-year-old is currently in Australia completing a two-week stint in quarantine ahead of an appearance on Big Brother VIP, for which she is reportedly being paid $500,000.
Meanwhile, back in the United States, her already dismal polls numbers have fallen even further as she continues to receive backlash over her decision to leave the Northern hemisphere to shoot a reality show less than two months before the election.
In an effort to save face, Jenner, who is currently polling at just 3%, down from 6% a few months ago, is now trying to spin the whole thing as evidence of her tireless work ethic.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Unlike most politicians, I actually honor my contracts,” she told Fox News over the weekend. “I have had this on the books, this show that I’m doing down here in Australia, for months and months.”
She added that she’s “got more [campaign] work done down here than at home because I have no distractions” and “everybody back in California continues to work” as well.
“It’s actually been very good,” she said. “Since this pandemic, we’ve learned that you can work remotely and get a lot of things done.”
Yesterday, Jenner tweeted that, with the election just 50 days away, there’s “not a day to waste!”

Here’s how people responded to that…
“Not a day to waste…” so let me go film a reality show in another country, when I should be walking amongst the residents of California and asking them what they need or feel needs to change!
Love your priorities Caitlyn!— Enoch Reyes (@enochet) July 27, 2021
Don’t you have a reality show to get to?

I prefer to recall Caitlyn Jenner.

Those that hate Newsom hate trans people more.

According to the Bible you will not go to Heaven. I pray that you will repent and turn from your sin and your lifestyle

Who tweets for you while you are in Australia filming faked reality tv

It’s unclear when exactly Jenner will return to the United States, but she promised it will be “at least a week” before mail-in voting begins.
She also plans to launch a bus tour that will kick off in Venice Beach, the neighborhood in Los Angeles that she recently trashed for having too many homeless people who are ruining everyone’s “quality of life.”
“We have to provide some place for those people to go, whether it’s an open field out in some place, or if you notice at the veteran’s facility,” Jenner said. “There’s these big open fields and a lot of places there.”

Realistically, what are her chances at this point? Approximating zero and still falling asymptotically closer? Thought so,. and it’s only July.
cuteguy
I’m more disturbed by the 3 percent that would actually vote for this mess. I’m thinking they were drunk or high when they were polled bc no one in their right mind would vote for this mess, then again there are ppl who voted for that wannabe dictator Trumpf

Looking like 10 miles of bad road. What a useless old slag.

I’ve done ten miles of bad road, though. This looks worse.

@Cam
Again, the right wing troll is obsessed with me for continually calling out all of it’s screenames. Your rage is delicious and also proof that I’ve been frustrating you by exposing your multiple screenames.
Quick now, switch back to your MissTerri screename so you can talk about how hilarious something is.
Your troll game is sad and weak.

this nut job is still around?

I used to cheer for her, now I am just sad for her. She has disrespected her own and herself. It is just baffling.

Fortunately, Jenner has no chance of getting elected. But other Republicans polling ahead of her are even worse than she is. if you’re in California please don’t assume Newsom is out of the woods yet. Remember to vote No on the recall.
“Poll: Newsom ‘in jeopardy’ of being recalled if Democrats remain apathetic” –

Liar. He’s fine. Stay home that day.

@Cam
Awww, the right wing troll account, trying to rehab one of it’s screenames, and steal mine.
Sweetie, I love it, your obsession with me is delicious.
Now back to Jenner being another typical self centered unqualified Republican who hates working Americans.
Mack
If you’re a Californian, vote. The Republicans have proven especially in the last 4 years they more interested in turning this wonderful country into Nazi Germany Part II.
BoomerMyles
Thanks for the link.
Dems may be less enthusiastic but everyone will have a mail in ballots so gives more ammo for the 5m more registered Dems than repubs.
LumpyPillows
Well, when you do the Venn diagram of Caitlyn’s support, self-hating trans women over 70, decathlon gold medalists, and reality show road kill, she is pandering to her largest demographic – reality show road kill.
Cam
For decades Jenner lived in that rarified bubble where everyone would just compliment them, treat them like royalty and nothing bad was ever said.
It must be a shock now that she realizes 97% of voters can’t stand her.

“I have no distractions”
Yeah like her dumb foot in the mouth responses to reporters.

Jenner’s gubernatorial run is, and has always been, little more then a badly choreographed publicity stunt. Even a total moron knows that Jenner’s chance of becoming governor of California is, and always been, near zero. Just another way to get her name in the paper, on the news and spread around on social media.

Another Karthrashian low life dumpster fire..

How can ANY republican candidate be effective when the Dem legislature supermajority can implement any policy and override a republicans governor veto.
Also they will reject any policy put through the legislature by a republican.
Just a waste of $215m.
cc423
You should have just stopped after “How can ANY Republican candidate be effective…”

Caitlyn Jenner is a narcissistic stunt queen. She should stay in Australia, though I doubt they want her either.
Heywood Jablowme
They don’t! Australians stranded in other countries because of Covid are still having trouble getting home. Now she wanders in for “work” and they’re pissed.

The lesbian from the Wheaties box is dead!!! Long live the flakes.
It always looked like a lesbian to me, so funny that it changed sexes. Still very stupid. Should have had a brain transplant instead.
FtballBear27
Why can’t she and the rest of that clan (KarTRASHians) just disappear
BaltoSteve
Caitlyn is desperate for attention. Look at what is going on in that family. She is trying to find her voice and remain relevant. The only thing she hasn’t banked on is that very few find her relevant. According to the polls, less than 3% of Californians.
