Camille? Once a decadent academic, always one.

1) Camille Paglia is queer.
2) Kasich is a queerlover.

That’s about all you need to know to decipher her otherwise bizarre analysis.

There is a certain type of voter in this country, maybe even a majority, who will vote for anyone regardless of their record, background, etc, as long as they are:

1) black, or

2) female, or

3) gay friendly, or

4) illegal immigrant friendly, or

5) democrat or republican, etc etc.

Camille is pleased with Kasich answer re: gay marriage, so everything else he may believe is just fine with her. Thats why we're sliding down the commode.

No idea who this Paglia is or why I should care about his/her opinion in a Hollyweird magazine...but some FReeper posted it, so......

Pretty good analysis. Of course I disagree with the Kasich stuff---if he didn't have the fawning OH crowd, his proposals and love stories would have come off as blather.

I actually think Trump was told to scowl because that is his "Apprentice" persona. It will be interesting to see if he changes this next time around.

Funny line on Rubio.

I did not care for him. I really did not like his answer on the Medicare or Medicaid expansion. He is trying to buy his way into heaven using other peoples money at least that is how I took it.

She’s an academic. Very outspoken and never predictable.

The Left desperately — nearly to the point of all-out panic (which is coming) — needs Republicans to nominate a GOPE/RINO/Milquetoast (you pick ‘em — you know who they are) in order to win the presidency.

Indeed. But she’s a liberal so anything she says is by definition, wrong to begin with.

If a liberal talls you water is wet, we can safely assume science has developed dry water and hasn’t announced it yet.

As I mentioned in an earlier thread, I found Kasich the most thoroughly noxious, with both his annoying mannerisms and his bleeding-heart “compassionate conservatism.” Rhapsodizing over increasing government spending and proudly patting himself on the back for attending a homo wedding ceremony, ugh. He made me want to vomit.

She’s a fun writer and an excellent social critic. Didn’t agree with all of her analysis, but it’s an entertaining read.

Actually a pretty good analysis, except for the Kasich part. He’s a dud, Camille.

Must absolutely everything be written in soundbite perspectives for wine-chugging snarky soccermoms?

I am so SICK of this juvenile, dumbing-down, adolescent CRAP!

Good point about Trump being sent by the Clintons as a spoiler. He’s an obvious plant to trick lo-info voters.

Some of that is funny, Rubio does come across like the bright young Hispanic guys many of us have met. Christie is a bit like a Mayor from the LaGuardia era, I can’t argue with every single one. Yes, and Huckabee does look a bit like a character actor from TV’s black and white era.

Just think how good it would have been for him if Kasich had the home-field advantage in his home State of Ohio and the opportunity to pack the auditorium with his supporters.



Wait...
