Caitlyn Jenner insists she's running to replace California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom because she wants to "get this state moving in the right direction." To date, however, her efforts have been decidedly, uh, well, let's just say she hasn't quite figured out how to calibrate her campaign's messaging to appeal to anyone outside the centimillionaire class to which she belongs, which might explain why Jenner is polling pretty miserably among the rest of the GOP pack.
But what if Jenner's gubernatorial aspiration is less about being an actual governor who lifts up the people of California, and more about being a celebrity who lifts up....themself. That's increasingly looking like a viable explanation for Jenner's decision to toss her hat in the political ring, only to reportedly put her campaign on hold to film an upcoming season of Celebrity Big Brother some seven and a half thousand miles away from from the state capital of Sacramento.
