... According to the operative – who ran a pro-Trump political organization prior to the “First in the South” presidential primary – many of the “new hands” ushered aboard the Trump Train in recent weeks are not loyal to their new employer. Their allegiances remain with U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas – the second-place GOP finisher who bitterly denounced Trump when he dropped out of the presidential race back in May.
“I told you ‘Never Trump’ would infiltrate his campaign’s most inner sanctum,” the aide told us late Monday. “And they clearly succeeded. Knowingly plagiarizing Michelle Obama’s speech? Wow.”
According to the aide, Miller is one of several establishment “Republican” operatives loyal to Cruz who are working hard to sabotage Trump’s campaign from within – “like ISIS infiltrating the refugee population.”..

I still say Rudy’s speech was the BEST..and I noticed something about his speech..NO TELEPROMPTER..I always enjoy hearing a great speech from the heart, not being read from a screen..and Rudy’s speech brought the house down!
I’m less pissed about the lifted paragraph than I am about it taking attention away from the speeches that really mattered last night. We should be talking about Marcus Luttrell and Pat Smith today
Exactly! I believe the lifted paragraph was put there to take attention off the otherwise flawless American speech by Melania. And the spectacular 1st day of convention.
And I don’t think Melania put it there!
Thought I read somewhere that a former Clinton writer wrote Melania’s speech.
“0” <— that’s how many votes will be affected by this.
This is all just noise to distract from the hailstorm of negative facts about Hillary that were unleashed yesterday.
Check out Elizabeth Dole’s speech, she also referenced “Our word is our bond” geez EVERYONE uses it
Getting way more press than any of Hillary’s crimes.
I think the difference is that Melania meant it and Moochelle knew it was a lie when she said it. I would not be very surprised to find it was done on purpose to contrast Trump and the liar in chief
Because their themes were similar.
I talk about our flag, it’s red, white and blue. Oh oh, I just plagiarized someone.
[Who listened to and remembered Michelle’s speech? ]
This was a total elaborate set up.
A mole wrote the speech verbatium, and a second person (this Jarrett Hill character) brought it to the media’s attention.
No it’s on fire.
How many people use this. Show me a link of just one
“”that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say “ “
I think this is a stupid issue.
This is exactly why I can’t understand the attitude of the people on this site claiming it doesn’t matter that this happened.
IF Trump didn’t intentionally do it, he needs to ferret out those responsible and get rid of them...either they are LAZY or diabolical.
Who is so stupid in that camp that they think no one is going to notice they lifted Michelle’s speech when they know the media is looking at every word.
_______________________________
I totally agree. It DOES matter. It makes Trump look like a fool to have his wife parrot the words of someone else. I hope Trump will deal harshly with the person responsible.
The Rickroll people could pick up on right away...but copying Michelle’s speech??? Sounds like a set up.
This whole episode is meant to distract people from the devistating anti-Hillary speech about Benghazi.
Michelle Obama Copied Alinsky in Speech Melania Trump Allegedly Plagiarized
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/07/19/melania-trump-plagiarism-hillary-biden-barack-michelle/
Trump’s wife joins Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden as accused plagiarists. Even Michelle Obama was accused of plagiarizing part of her own 2008 DNC speech.
What sentence are you referring to?
The campaign in essence gave away their favorable media cycle taking attention away from the real message.
Question is, will the campaign team rebound and avoid further embarrassments?
Trump is going to be angry about this. He may talk about in his speech.
“Not really, common themes in speeches bring about similar words,”
I agree. To much ado about nothing. To many worry warts on the forum.
