Caitlyn Jenner joins celebs mulling run for U.S. political office

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Caitlyn Jenner has joined the list of celebrities who are considering running for political office in the United States following the election of former reality television star Donald Trump as president.

Jenner, who as former Olympic champion Bruce Jenner in 2015 became the highest-profile American to transition to a woman, said she would decide in the next six months or so whether to run for the U.S. Senate in California.

Jenner told John Catsimatidis on his "CATS Roundtable" New York radio show on Sunday, that she is working with activist groups to improve the Republican Party's stance on lesbian, gay and transgender issues.

"Over the next six months or so I gotta find out where I can do a better job. Can I do a better job from the outside working the perimeter of the political scene, being open to talking to anybody, or are you better off from the inside?

She'll probably clean up the transgendered, ultra-right-wing, solipsistic, finger-wagging douchebag vote. All 14 of them...

Her face doesn't move from so much Botox. If she thinks she is going to defeat Feinstein she is nuts. I can see kid rock winning Michigan because that state has gone red and is now set up for permanent rethug rules. But Jenner doesn't have a chance in California especially since she is a rethug and a thump supporter and California is blue and has fair elections toons that the rethugs can't manipulate In their favor. We are even going for automatic registration and easier ways for people to vote.
