“The Democrats (my party) have been in chaos since the 2016 election and have no coherent message except Trump hatred.”
That’s it. No need to read further...
Just read it over lunch. She may be a liberal lesbian but she is intellectually honest and calls ‘em as she sees ‘em, which is always worthy of respect. Plus, I seldom find anything to disagree with in what she says.
I would note her mention of my representative, Cheri Bustos, who has clearly been on the ascent recently and who I fully expect to see run for higher office someday. She’s aware Trump carried her district and does a good job of the ‘retail politics’ but joins in the DNC talking point chorus instead of realizing the best way for democrats to win is to join with Trump rather than being the perpetual resistance. They won’t - but just think of how different things would be if the Democrat House voted to fully fund the Wall...
LOL!
Warmth. Yeah we need that. Got to have ‘’warmth’’.
I wish Paglia was my aunt or neighbor.
I would enjoy long talks over a latte or cabernet.
The interview ended abruptly and much too soon. She's wrong about lots, but she's a fireworks show of ideas and opinions.
I think a great many women want Trump to win again.
They won’t vote for him, and they won’t/can’t admit this, but deep inside they want that strong, confident father figure.
Bkmk
Never forget this woman is still a Leftist.
It’s really good. She gets it.
Camille Paglia is a self-described feminist so of course she’ll tend to view through those lens.
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... has already imprinted an image of herself as a ruthless inquisitor... 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... I’ve been looking at Congresswoman Cheri Bustos of Illinois and Governor Steve Bullock of Montana. As for Hillary, she’s pretty much damaged goods, but her perpetual, sniping, pity-me tour shows no signs of abating... I don’t see our stumbling, hacking, shop-worn Evita yielding the spotlight willingly to any younger gal... Most Democrats have wildly underestimated Trump from the get-go. I was certainly surprised at how easily he mowed down 17 other candidates in the GOP primaries. He represents widespread popular dissatisfaction with politics as usual. Both major US parties are in turmoil and metamorphosis, as their various factions war and realign.
Thanks plain talk.
Paglia is actually a decent person, not a screeching new-wave feminazi who is full of hate. She was actually speaking out against the femiminsts hatred of men and that it has to stop.
