Firstly, she has always been an Islam-lover, given her adoration of the phony Palestinian and pal of Obama, Edward Said. She’s never said much about Islamic terror, either, much to my disgust. And leave it to her to wake up only after 2 African-Americans steered her in the right direction. For all her vaunting of working-class men - who were fans of Trump way before Diamond and Silk - she imperiously ignored their interest and support until slapped in the face by a video. And I love the two women.
And to still support the moronic Bernie Sanders shows why even intelligent women must be denied the vote.
Bttt
Paglia makes a point that Trump is hardly the first president or presidential candidate to do or say anything vulgar. We all know about JFK’s womanizing, LBJ was as vulgar as they come, and Obama basically called Palin a pig and made a little rhyme that everyone knew was intended to suggest the “F” word. And, of course, Clinton/Lewinsky dragged the whole country through the mire for two years.
Cruz is “vainglorious” and Trump isn’t?
Have long admired many of Camille’s points of view over the years. Last paragraph in this one is epic.
Trump has actually accomplished a lot in the real world. So it's a matter of degree in relation to accomplishment, and Ted does seem overly pleased with his incomplete record of achievement. Education and position are great; but you have to be able to turn them into solid achievements.
She's a leftist, for sure, but she has a very unique perspective on politics and culture, which is not cookie-cutter liberal talking points.
From a technical aspect, and also for the unique style and ability to capture intent in the phrasing, she is an unbelievable essayist.
Although I disagree with her on many fronts, she is someone I'd like to have dinner with.
Cruz graduated from Princeton University in 1992, and from Harvard Law School in 1995.
Between 1999 and 2003, Cruz was the director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission, an associate deputy attorney general at the United States Department of Justice, and domestic policy advisor to President George W. Bush on the 2000 George W. Bush presidential campaign.
He served as Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to 2008, appointed by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. He was the first Hispanic, and the longest-serving solicitor general, in Texas history.
From 2004 to 2009, Cruz was also an adjunct professor of law at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, where he taught U.S. Supreme Court litigation.
We have two very good Presidential candidates. If Cruz remains a strong second to Trump, the establishment will be limited in it's ability to undermine the will of the voters at the convention.
When will we find out how much they are being paid?
Not alot of folks on the right like Paglia. But, I find her candor always refreshing. She doesn’t shy away from expressing her opinion - no matter which side it may support.
Morning Joe's liberals should read this then get off their damn fainting couches...
