June 2, 2016 By Kathy Shaidle

Camille Paglia writes:

There’s an absurdist, almost Dadaist quality to Trump’s candidacy, like Groucho Marx satirizing high society swells in A Night at the Opera or the radical Yippies trying to levitate the Pentagon at their 1967 antiwar protest. Trump routinely deploys all the subversive transgressiveness that campus Leftists claim to value.

Exactly why I call him the Sex Pistols candidate.

Anyhow, the usual rollicking read, but she’s still profoundly wrongheaded.
