Camille Paglia says that Hillary won't make it to the debates.
I agree and have been saying much the same for the same reasons as Paglia- too much baggage, too many lies and to top it off, too much ongoing scandal..

I do remember you predicted something like that.
I think just the opposite..all the scandals are working to inoculate her for the average Democrat..the Democrat competition continue to be "no shows."

This is the first line in bold from the article:
"The Tea Party has been very successful in pushing the Republicans to the right."
Whoever wrote that is simply not paying attention. The establishment has a stranglehold on the Republican party, and the handful of TEA party representatives in Congress are marginalized at every opportunity.
I read no further. The article is a big pile of crap.

You disagree with the first line so the whole article is a pile of crap?

I thought she made some pretty good points.

When somebody makes a statement that outrageously wrong, I really have no interest in anything else they have to say.

Just to clarify, that statement was made by the writer of the article as part of a question. It is, after all, Salon.

Right. If the author will slant the questions with such ridiculous qualifiers, then he will also twist the words of the person he is interviewing.
Nothing to see here.

Democrats don't really care about scandals unless the candidate is a loser, and then they are used as a scapegoat. As long as a candidate is for killing as many unborn babies as possible, and wants to give as much "free" stuff to as many people as possible, the Democrats will support them through anything. Got $100 grand in your freezer? No problem. Grope women? No problem. Incompetent? Well, naturally. It's also a bonus to suck up to as many real or created minorities as can be imagined.

Hillary isn't going anywhere. She won't run out of money. She won't quit until the voters (either in the primary or the general) tell her she's done.
This is the last shot for the Clintons and their acolytes. They'll all be going all in with this.

In the latest Quinnipiac poll, head to head, Hillary edges out Bush and Walker. But, she tromps Trump by 12 percent.
