Because I& #39;m a masochist, I will live-tweet Anderson Cooper& #39;s interview with Caitlyn Jenner this evening, so that you don& #39;t have to watch it. Follow along here.

Part of the challenge of live-tweeting a discussion with Jenner is that she rambles like someone who doesn& #39;t know what she& #39;s talking about. Because she doesn& #39;t. I& #39;ll do my best to cover all I can.
Dana Bash: "What kind of training do you have to be Governor of California?"
Jenner responds that she& #39;s an entrepreneur. Sigh.
Jenner responds that she& #39;s an entrepreneur. Sigh.
Dana Bash: This state is the 5th largest economy in the world. Do you feel qualified to lead it?
Jenner: Yes, because I& #39;m going to surround myself with great people. (paraphrase)
Bash asks who.
Jenner says she wants to protect their privacy.
Jenner: Yes, because I& #39;m going to surround myself with great people. (paraphrase)
Bash asks who.
Jenner says she wants to protect their privacy.
"I would freeze taxes. I would freeze regulations. No more taxes and regulations."
Bash: But Gov. Newsom hasn& #39;t offered any new taxes in years.
Jenner: Yes, but I would freeze the taxes (?).
Bash: But Gov. Newsom hasn& #39;t offered any new taxes in years.
Jenner: Yes, but I would freeze the taxes (?).
Bash asks if the 2020 elections were stolen and asked if Pres. Biden is our duly-elected president.
Jenner: "He is our president. I respect that. There is a lot of frustration over that election. You know what? I& #39;m frustrated."
What?
Jenner: "He is our president. I respect that. There is a lot of frustration over that election. You know what? I& #39;m frustrated."
What?
Bash: Do you believe the election was stolen?
Jenner: No, I believe in the system [and keeps rambling] and then implies elections need to be fixed.
Jenner: No, I believe in the system [and keeps rambling] and then implies elections need to be fixed.
I get the sense that Jenner has watched some TV shows about politics and basically regurgitates phrasing and buzzwords about courting people in a populist way, but even she doesn& #39;t really understand what she& #39;s trying to say.
Gosh, nothing says "relates to voters" like giving a tour of your massive ranch and talking about your children& #39;s horses.
