Bwahahahahahahahahahaha
That gem should disqualify the entire essay.
Yep.
“...whether Trump’s mastery of a hyper-personalized art of the deal will work in the sluggish, murky, incestuously intertwined power realms of Washington...”
The only reason Washington is “sluggish, murky, and incestuous” is because, up to now, ALL of Washington has been complicit in creating that situation for their own benefit and screw the “little” man, the common, everyday American here in the working part of the USA....
Trump will rip them apart and bring America back to the people....
LOL, she doesn’t understand the brilliance of Trump fully but she gets the gist. Trump has shown the American people that the “fact” that one has to be bought by special interests to get elected is false. One may work smart to utilize the best loud speaker there is, the national media and he is masterful in it’s use.
In regards to where he joked about the Rubio remarks about his hand size...he masterfully ended that line of insults with his little remark which was witty, tasteful and put a mirror to Rubio, for Rubio who now regrets, I think sincerely, for having lowered the discussion to that.
Too many people miss out on the nuances and the constant points being made when Trump “rambles on”...he never truly rambles he hits multiple points succinctly and right on target. It has been a privilege to watch a master negotiator and brilliant mind through out this process.
Oh Pleeeeze. The only work Sanders has ever done in his entire miserable little life was to administer a state food stamp program. But the media won't talk about his lack of experience or accomplishment. We have in America the most fucked up and least informed electorate on the planet. Just give 'em their bags of weed, football games, fancy cars/trucks, and porn sites and they're happy. Even countries like Venezuela and Argentina have electorates with more intelligence and acuity than ours.
I’ll forgive her for saying this:
“categorizing Mexican immigrants as rapists” (he said “illegal”)
because she said this:
“Ted Cruz, whose unctuous, vainglorious professions of Christian piety don’t pass the smell test.
“Unctuous” and “vainglorious”. Perfect descriptions.
Camille inhabits a strange and un-natural world.
” This guy doesn’t know who the hell he is—and the White House is no place for him and us to find out.”
She gets Cruz. Anybody that can jettison their values so fast that they hire Neil Bush from one day to the next has no business in the Whitehouse.
Usually like what Paglia has to say. Loving this description of Cruz:
“Ted Cruz, whose unctuous, vainglorious professions of Christian piety don’t pass the smell test. Trump is a blunt, no-crap mensch, while Cruz is a ham actor, doling out fake compassion like chopped liver. Cruz’s lugubrious, weirdly womanish face, with its prim, tight smile and mawkishly appealing puppy-dog eyebrows, is like a waxen mask, always on the verge of melting. This guy doesn’t know who the hell he is—and the White House is no place for him and us to find out.”
Camille Paglia nails it once again—too bad some Trumpsters can’t see that their candidate is making even center-left and socialists rethink their positions. Instead they choose to dismiss the messenger altogether by attacking the messenger’s previous positions that are in the process of being rethought.
Ironic, coming from supporters who routinely dismiss Trump’s flips and flops all over the political spectrum.
If Trump wins the Oval, he should give Camille a position in his administration, along with Milo Yiannopolous.
Paglia, Yiannopolous, and Katrina Pierson would be a Triumvirate whose pugilistic punch lines would induce mass ‘splody head syndrome in the PC crowd all over the US.
It would be totally awesome. Ratings would be YUGE.
The real jobs in the administration-—re-masculinizing the military and foreign policy, rebuilding the economy, and judicial appointments—all these should be hard line Conservatives.
Meanwhile the Triumverate distracts the libtards and gives them so much to complain about, they won’t notice the country is being turned around.
Make Politics Fun Again!
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.
Have long admired many of Camille’s points of view over the years. Last paragraph in this one is epic.
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...
