Zombie time at campaign Hillary: Camille Paglia on Trump’s real strength and Clintin's *
Salon ^ | 6/2/2016 | Camille Paglia

Posted on 06/02/2016 9:02:43 AM PDT by simpson96

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.

Camille is always entertaining. And savvy. Notice how she “purchases” her right to have this printed in Salon, only in the last paragraph.

Did they model for American Gothic? All they need is a pitchfork.

Bernie Sanders, who represents the wave of the future, is my first choice, but Joe Biden, with his international experience, would be a solid second. If the kamikaze party wants to nominate an ethically challenged incompetent like Hillary Clinton, then I’ll be voting Green for the second time. Go, Jill Stein!

Beyond strange.

Paglia speaks of a nominee with integrity. Since the Democrat party is pro-abortion, no nominee of that party can be a person of integrity.

Who do we want to oppose Trump?

I like the idea of a weak Hillary opposing Trump, but she has a lot of money and media on her side.

Would they switch to Bernie? Not at all clear.

How about Biden and Lieawatha? Better or Worse?

Hillary is old, stale and crooked. Together those don’t add up to electable especially when the FBI has been investigating her for going on three years to nail down the details of all of her quid pro quo deals.

One way or another a door is going to slam shut on Hilliary. It’s either play sick, drop out and take the pardon (the door slams shut on her campaign) or it’s the very real possibility of slammer time.

My crystal ball predicts a three way race with Trump vs. Biden vs. Sanders as an independent.

LOL.

When I saw that pic, Hillary reminded me of the film Weekend At Bernie's.

That makes sense.

The Sanders supporters need to teach the Democrat leadership a lesson!

I can't see Hillary ever leaving the race through some sort of inside pressure; only by some kind of indictment, regardless of how bad she may be in the polls and she will still try and hang on even if indicted.

“It’s either play sick, drop out and take the pardon (the door slams shut on her campaign) or it’s the very real possibility of slammer time.”....

I like the possibility of slammer time the best. She has been dodging that possibility for far too long. Time to pay the piper.

At some point she’ll get a phone call. Part of that will involve the big donors not answering her phone calls. It will be writing on the wall time. She may believe she can out wait the tide turning against her. What she doesn’t know it’s the quiet before the FBI tsunami hits.

If Bernie Sanders is the wave of the future then the future is hell on earth.
