[Biden] handles himself well in debates–even though Sarah Palin defeated him!
______

Paglia is right about that — Palin won that debate.

[Dr. Sivana]

Yes, that’s true, but we’re still very early in the process. I feel that once we get to the debates, O’Malley’s actual hands-on, day-to-day experience with complex big-city governance will get traction.

Unfortunately for Dr. Paglia, her party doesn't have enough SUNY-Binghampton grad types in the power positions. The McGovern delegate rules and Super-Delegate revisions favor the established powers (Clinton-Obama people) and racial minorities and feminists (Jesse Jackson etc.). Others can back into the nomination (e.g. Kerry), but only in a vaccuum. The only vaccuum here is the Hillary machine sucking up support and $$$ and keeping the dust mites away. The Dems might know a loss is coming, but stopping the inevitable to avoid bigger losses at the state level might be impossible. Plus, the Dems have NO bench. Anyone reasonably non-Socialist got beat in the last three cycles. Some of the hard lefties who still have respect are in their fourth or fifth scre (Feinstein?! Really?)

"Right now, Walker seems to be the true GOP frontrunner, but I also feel he lacks gravitas. He’s not ready for his close-up. What is this oddity about so many of the GOP candidates–their excessive boyishness,..."

In other words, most of today's Baby Boomer and Gen-X political/regulator class women wouldn't want to see him in a porn flick or presidential office.

    Ted Cruz Ping!

    If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
    Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

    CRUZ or LOSE!

[mountainfolk]

Paglia is damning Cruz with faint praise. I think she likes him! A strong, super intelligent man who probably can deal very well with her version of the female sex. Cruze is practical as well as smart.

I thought that Mitt Romney was an excellent choice by the GOP four years ago, even though he was opposed by the Tea Party.

this was a good place to stop reading her opinions...

[tet68]

of course the GOP is holding back its real anti-Hillary ammunition until she’s the nominee. Then we’ll all be plunged backward into the endless nightmare of the Clinton years–it will be pure hell!

It could be even WORSE, she could be elected!!!
Talk about the endless nightmare of the Clinton years...

(The guy is a fanatic! He’s very smart, clever and strategic, and he has a fine education from Princeton, so people have to watch out for him. But I think he is self-absorbed and narcissistic to a maniacal degree. I will never forgive him for his insulting arrogance to Dianne Feinstein)

Fanatic = true conservative (he just lost my vote! LOL!)

Smart, clever, and strategic, has a fine education from Princeton (enough to give one the willies! LOL)

Self-absorbed and narcissistic - Really? I haven’t noted him talking about himself the whole time...and this side of Obama, it’s really tough to notice that trait! We do know that Trump is that way, but Ted Cruz? I just don’t see it.

His insulting arrogance toward Diane Feinstein during a gun control debate - Finally, somebody did it! There should be no respect for a so-called Feminist hag who wants to disarm law-abiding US citizens.

Summary: I like Cruz even more after reading this article.

[skeeter]

Paglia doesn't like Cruz because he mistreated the corrupt imposter Dianne Feinstein?

I'll have to re-evaluate my opinion of her. Because Feinstien has earned every little bit of disrespect that can be directed her way.

Or is this a she-woman man hater's club thing?

Of course, they'd pull her Ted Cruz quote out for the headline, but this should have been the lede:

The major media have been constantly saying that Jeb is the GOP front-runner, which is utter nonsense. It’s the same thing with Hillary–the polls have just been showing name recognition, nothing more. I’ve been looking at the comments on political news articles since last year, and Jeb Bush seems to have absolutely no support whatever–like zero! To this day, I’ve never seen an online commenter enthusiastically supporting him. It’s really strange! All these rich people throw big money at him, but I don’t know who his voters could possibly be.

[Tax-chick]

I don't give a flying freep about a candidate's gravitas. I care about his positions and his (demonstrated, if possible) determination to put them into action.

Dianne Feinstein? I'm assuming that bit of fawning is about abortion politics. Paglia is 100% pro-abortion.

[miss marmelstein]

I like Camille but she has a bit of a tin ear when it comes to politics. She’s got Slick Willie’s number but who doesn’t? Sticking to supporting those idiots Pelosi & Feinstein is dated and pointless.
