Camille Paglia: PC Feminists Misfire Again As Fearful Elite Media Can't Touch Donald Trump
Breitbart.com ^ | May 19,2016 | Camille Paglia

Posted on 05/19/2016 10:18:11 AM PDT by Biggirl

From Camille Paglia writing at Salon: Zap! If momentum were a surge of electromagnetic energy, Donald Trump against all odds has it now. The appalled GOP voters he is losing seem overwhelmed in number by independents and crossover Democrats increasingly attracted by his bumptious, raucous, smash-the-cucumber-frames style.

Trump has shown the way to victory.

Don’t accept your opponent’s accusations, don’t even defend against them, just go on the offensive.

The left wins every time conservatives take the “high road” and slink off as if they have something to be ashamed for when accused of racism.

The only power the socialist have over you is the power you give them. Stand up and fight back and they lose.

That is why the socialists are afraid of Trump.

This about says it all: “I finally read the article—and laughed out loud throughout. Can there be any finer demonstration of the insularity and mediocrity of today’s Manhattan prestige media? Wow, millionaire workaholic Donald Trump chased young, beautiful, willing women and liked to boast about it. Jail him now!” Nothing wrong with Trump.

What the heck does “smash-the-cucumber-frames style” mean?
I’m not hip enough to read this, I guess.

Amen! Words to live by.

Camille falls in love with a decades old photo of Rowanne Brewer and laughs at pathetic attempts to bring down Trump.

I always enjoy Camille when she writes about how stupid the media is (which seems to be fairly often). For a feminazi communist she hits the nail on the head with this article. Deserves to be read all the way through. IMHO.

I totally agree. The entire article link is below.

"But the Democratic strategists who prophesy a Hillary landslide over Trump are blowing smoke. Hillary is a stodgily predictable product of the voluminous briefing books handed to her by a vast palace staff of researchers and pollsters—a staggeringly expensive luxury not enjoyed by her frugal, unmaterialistic opponent, Bernie Sanders (my candidate). Trump, in contrast, is his own publicist, a quick-draw scrapper and go-for-the-jugular brawler. He is a master of the unexpected (as the Egyptian commander Achillas calls Julius Caesar in the Liz Taylor Cleopatra). The massive size of Hillary’s imperialist operation makes her seem slow and heavy. Trump is like a raffish buccaneer, leaping about the rigging like the breezy Douglas Fairbanks or Errol Flynn, while Hillary is the stiff, sequestered admiral of a bullion-laden armada of Spanish galleons, a low-in-the-water easy mark as they creak and sway amid the rolling swells."

That right there is the "secret" to the success - Trump is taking the war to them and their playbook has no response. There are signs Hilly's campaign is starting to assume the same death spiral Trump's primary opponents experienced after they went head to head with him.

I think he just won the male-under-30 vote hands down. Particularly the guys who pretend to be liberal to get the liberated chicks.

Another takedown by Hurricane Camille, my favorite liberal writer after Hitchens.

Hillary is AFRAID to appear on FOX - that ought to tell you something about her sinking campaign.

Paglia is brilliant. Really, just a whip-smart talent of a writer.

Who else could mine this gem from that NYT debacle? Ouch.
