Zombie time at campaign Hillary: Camille Paglia on Trump’s real strength & Clinton’s sleepwalking

The media covers for Hillary on her email scandal while Trump gallops through the non-stop artillery barrage

It’s zombie time at campaign Hillary. Behold the dead men walking! It was with strangely slow, narcotized numbness that the candidate and her phalanx of minions and mouthpieces responded to last week’s punishing report by the State Department’s Inspector General about her email security lapses. Do they truly believe, in the rosy alternate universe of Hillaryland, that they can lie their way out of this? Of course, they’re relying as usual on the increasingly restive mainstream media to do their dirty work for them. If it were a Republican in the crosshairs, Hillary’s shocking refusal to meet with the Inspector General (who interviewed all four of the other living Secretaries of State of the past two decades) would have been the lead item flagged in screaming headlines from coast to coast. Let’s face it—the genuinely innocent do not do pretzel twists like this to cover their asses.

Meanwhile, former Bill Clinton advisor and pollster Douglas Schoen gave the strongest signal yet in a Wall Street Journal op-ed this week (“Clinton may not be the nominee”) that worried backstage huddles in the Democratic party establishment are reaching fever pitch. The article’s floating of the idea of a Joe Biden-Elizabeth Warren substitute ticket (which I’ve been privately predicting to friends all year) is so evenly and magisterially phrased that I wondered if the text had been vetted by an approving White House.

It is impossible for ANY outsider to damage Herself at this point. Almost all the
damage done has been self-inflicted, and it was not necessarily in response
to any actions done by opponents.

Herself is just not a very good candidate. For ANYTHING.

No positives, no initiatives, no earned honor in any endeavor.

How weird is this. Camile Paglia, the lesbian feminist writer from left-wing Salon, is making sense when it comes to Hillary’s failures. What strange times we live in.

Quite a good prediction, wasn’t it?
