But said, “Ted Cruz gives me the willies”
Salon
"In the first two parts of Salon’s conversation with Camille
Paglia, we covered Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton, the return of the ’90s
sensibility, and then the rise of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump.
"Today
Paglia trains her devastating insight and wit on the rest of the GOP
field — look out Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush. She also has some
surprising thoughts on why Hillary Clinton will not be the Democratic
nominee — and why it would be unwise for Democrats to overlook the
appeal of Scott Walker."
" Catch up with the first two parts of our interview
here and
here."
. . . "Young feminists are asking why there hasn’t been a woman
president and automatically blaming it on male sexism. But there are
plenty of women Democratic politicians who are too scared to put
themselves forward as candidates because of the Clinton machine. There’s
something seriously wrong here with Democratic thinking. You either
believe in the country, you believe in your party, or you don’t!
"Given
the problems facing the nation, this passive waiting for your turn is
simply unacceptable. The Democrats have plenty of solid, capable women
politicians who are just too timid to challenge the party
establishment. Well, excuse me, that proves they don’t deserve to be
president! You sure won’t be able to deal with ISIS if you can’t deal
with Debbie Wasserman Schultz! " . . .

"Exactly how have the teachers unions improved the quality of
education in our big cities? Look at the dilapidated public schools in
Philadelphia or in many other cities run by Democrats. The rigid and
antiquated seniority system imposed by the teachers unions has been a
disaster–”last hired, first fired.” So many young and vital teachers
have been terminated during budget cuts–the entire future of the
profession. The unions value seniority over quality, and it’s
inner-city children who have paid the price.
"In my opinion, Scott
Walker still lacks seasoning, presidential temper, and a working
knowledge of international affairs. But if Democrats try to use the
union issue to take him down, they’re simply empowering him–and we’re
going to end up with President Walker."
