Caitlyn Jenner is a conservative. We know this. We’ve heard it on a few different occasions and it doesn’t look like she’s backing down on it, even though it alienated her from some Democrats and many Republicans still don’t like her.
Jenner really doesn’t care. She sticks by her convictions, which is generally admirable, but is a little confusing for people who have heard her idols speak about the trans* community. Ben Carson isn’t overly kind to them. Neither is Mike Huckabee. Among the most flippant is Ted Cruz, who has expressed a negative opinion of the LGBTQ+ community on the whole, but is no stranger to specifically dropping unkind soundbites about trans* people.
The Olympian is still supporting Cruz in his bid to become the president. In an interview with Dawn Ennis at The Advocate, she put it like this:
I like Ted Cruz. I think he’s very conservative, and a great constitutionalist, and a very articulate man. I haven’t endorsed him or anything like that. But I also think, he’s an evangelical Christian, and probably one of the worst ones when it comes to trans issues.
She went on to say, “Wouldn’t it be great — let’s say he goes on to be president, and I have all my girls on a trans issues board to advise him on making decisions when it comes to trans issues. Isn’t that a good idea?”
That is optimistic and fair, regardless of if her detractors don’t believe it could work. Only time and a few primaries and an election will tell what happens between Jenner and Cruz.
Good grief!
LMBO!
I thought that was left to Glen and Mitt
I still think Bruce Jenner will 'come back' one day.
You mean you don’t think Megyn will ask about it tonight?
Some of Cruz’s biggest donors are gay or gay activists or gay marriage activists. Very gay friendly candidate. Guess Caitlin knew that.
“It” has an insatiable need for attention. I personally believe that much of what “it” has done of late is a useless attempt remain in the limelight.
Wow. First it’s a porn star in his commercial, now it’s a transgendered endorsement. You can’t say the constitutionalist position isn’t attracting a wider than usual degree of support this cycle.
Pretty angry huh?
-—Jenner becomes Cruz’s David Duke-—
Not even close...
Would that make him/her/it the Trambassador?
Rubio cruised the gay scene, but it’s not possible to know with so many other people. It involves an inner landscape.
Eh, works for me. Shows the Cruzer is willing to create jobs..........
LOOOOOOOOOL!
What an INSANE season.
I guess there is some twisted logic in the transsexual Bruce endorsing the transnational Teddy.
Maybe it and Glenn can get together for a good cry?
Heidi by her own admission works 80 hours a week, Ted, except during the campaign, is in Washington most of the time (in fact his daughters call him “the guest”), so the girls are raised by nannies, and Caitlyn would be an ideal candidate, since they seem to trust gays.
Jenner is a natural born woman like Cruz is a natural born American ;)
