Camille Paglia is a rare bird: A liberal who’s not afraid to tell the truth about liberals.
In a recent Q & A with Spectator USA, Paglia sounded off about a variety of topics, including the likely class of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates. And let’s just say she didn’t mince words:
"If the economy continues strong, Trump will be reelected. The Democrats (my party) have been in chaos since the 2016 election and have no coherent message except Trump hatred. Despite the vast pack of potential candidates, no one yet seems to have the edge. I had high hopes for Kamala Harris, but she missed a huge opportunity to play a moderating, statesmanlike role and has already imprinted an image of herself as a ruthless inquisitor that will make it hard for her to pull voters across party lines.
Screechy Elizabeth Warren has never had a snowball’s chance in hell to appeal beyond upper-middle-class professionals of her glossy stripe. Kirsten Gillibrand is a wobbly mediocrity. Cory Booker has all the gravitas of a cork. Andrew Cuomo is a yapping puppy with a long, muddy bullyboy tail. Both Bernie Sanders (for whom I voted in the 2016 primaries) and Joe Biden (who would have won the election had Obama not cut him off at the knees) are way too old and creaky."
Daaaaang.

Hard to argue with that. Do yourselves a favor and read the whole thing.

She is odd, but intellectually honest.
Don’t care, what are we doing about our disaster of a party?
I like her description for one of the Lady Libs;
‘A wobbly mediocrity’.
Listening to her speak in her machine-gun delivery is like trying to get a sip of water from a fire hydrant. She is fiercely intelligent.
Bump
Bump
everyone thinks it’s going to be kamala harris.
“Too many young people raised in affluent liberal homes are arriving at elite colleges and universities with skittish, unformed personalities and shockingly narrow views of human existence, confined to inflammatory and divisive identity politics.”
She absolutely nailed it in this interview with her description of the typical college educated millennial.
Yes she is.
I liked her take on Humor and Oscar Wilde.
Yes, Wit and Wisdom are Dead.
An apt description of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.
And nearly all of the US Congress and government.
Any Commentary that does not meet the party’s wobbly blurred will be met with a boot to the gallows.
wobbly blurred lines
Thanks
Moe (Warren) is their leader.. LOL
Not really.
Realistically she will be toast at the beginning of the primaries if she runs because her Democrat enemies from California have already stated that they will make pornographic videos from her days attending Hollywood orgies as Willie Brown’s mistress go viral.
Kamala Harris nominee: not a snowball’s chance in hell.
She would provide entertainment of the trainwreck sort...except I sincerely doubt she tries to run.
