In an interview with ABC Friday, Bruce Jenner said he is transgender, and also Republican.

[Snip]

According to a July Gallup poll, 21 percent of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans are Republican or lean Republican ...

Note: Bruce Jenner's current name and a male pronoun is used in this post, as he has not requested a new name or pronoun be used.

[Zakeet]

21 percent of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders are Pubs ... meaning the Rats have lost one fifth of a very important (to them) constituency.

So what is 21% of 1.5%?

Allow me to point out that this makes the GOP Batting Average with gays is 4x better than it is with African-Americans and probably 2x better than it is with Jews.

Damn, if we could get 21% of blacks to vote Republican, the Democrats would be toast.

This can only mean one thing:

George Soros will bankroll him, and Ms. Jenner is running for President for the GOP-e-lgbtttttttttq.

“Defining deviancy down” the senator could not have been more accurate: http://www.utexas.edu/law/journals/tlr/sources/Volume%2092/Issue%206/Koppelman/Koppelman.fn051.Moynihan.DefiningDeviancy.pdf

He is a man. A confused one, yes, but look at the chromosomes. Male.

Western philosophy may have deteriorated to the point that society will permit a sick individual to define what objective truth (moral or scientific) denies.

No matter....denying the truth doesn’t negate the same.

We used to treat mental illness.

Now we celebrate it.

The press would usually like you to believe that it’s zero percent. What percentage is Democrat and how many have no affiliation?

[Farmer Dean]

At some point Bruce is going to realize what he’s done to himself.
He’ll need to be put on suicide watch then.

[PieterCasparzen]

Bruce Jenner = some serious mind control.

Brain is fried.

“So what is 21% of 1.5%?”

In San Francisco and Greenwich Village.

In other words, they can impact a local election in a heavy blue district, but that’s about it.

“He is a man. A confused one, yes, but look at the chromosomes. Male.”

You are absolutely correct. God does not make mistakes. God does NOT create transgenders. God makes you male, female, straight, gay, White, Black,Asian, tall, short, able-bodied, handicapped, but NOT transgendered.

[cripplecreek]

At best they’ll vote mostly for a “republican” somewhere to the left of McCain.

God made me intolerant. I can't help it. I was born this way.

Hot off his Olympic triumphs, we went to one of his autograph events where he was signing cheapie photocopies of himself.

So what is 21% of 1.5%?

.315% - A little under one third of one percent - about 1,008 people in the US

I'd have thought more than 21 percent. I know some Bi/Gay people who are not only Republicans, but they are Conservative Republicans. But hey, I'll take 20 percent of the DemocRATS base vote. Now if we could get 20 percent of the Blacks to vote Pubbie and increase the Latino vote for the GOP to 40 percent..... Hey, we might have a chance. I'm a Ted Cruz guy, but I think that Rubio is the one with the chance now of bringing the aforementioned into the GOP fold. He is reaching out to gays, Latinos and young people.

But, as long as one of my top two choices (Cruz and Walker) is still in the hunt, I can't help Rubio out.
