Caitlyn Jenner's campaign goes silent in first week

[left-of-center2012]

Caitlyn Jenner launched her gubernatorial campaign a week ago with a media splash that teased the audacious promise of shaking up state politics — and delivering big trouble to California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Since then, it’s been crickets.

The reality TV star and transgender activist hasn't made a single TV appearance. She hasn't held a press conference or social media event. No rollout of key Republican endorsements. She doesn't have an issues page on her website, but offers ways to "donate" and buy "Caitlyn for California" merchandise.

1. That's all very surprising

Not

2. "Shaking things up" led to one astoundingly incompetent administration.

Why on Earth would any potential candidate think it would work out well a second time?

If I were granted the power to transform any class of living creature into a May Fly that lives for one day, and dies unnoticed by the world, it would be anyone who thinks, believes, or says out loud: "I just want a politician who will shake things up!"

3. This is going to be a disaster!

4. Especially when she gives her first speech.

Which will surely lack any substance when it comes to issues. The press will hammer her on LGBTQ issues.

5. Well...

... that's dumbfounding!
