... 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.”..

It’s about the set up not the plagiarism.
Or maybe it is just a really bad lazy writer.
I think it was treachery.
I like Trump, but some of his fans have an almost ‘Royalist’ attitude about him. They don’t think you should ever question any of his decisions or actions. Perhaps they even consider him infallible. I’ve always said, no man on this earth is above review, reproach and qualification.
In the heat of the election season, I usually chose not to argue with any ‘Royalist’. If they are not ready to consider my point of view, so be it. The world will keep on turning. Plus, I don’t want to say something mean or nasty in responding to them, that I would regret later. I’m not here to make enemies at all.
What a stupid thing to even hashtag. It assumes she did plagiarize.
Yup, Trump is done this time I tell ya, done. Time to vote for Hillary../s
This is the one I checked
“”that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say “ “
Cliches.
Strung together.
How many people have used that EXACT phrasing. If it is common, you should see a lot on Bing or Google.
I typed in that quote on google and found this:
The Book of Matthew and Numbers both contain passages in which one’s spoken vow becomes a sacred commitment. In Numbers, the Hebrew elder Moshe instructs the tribes of Israel: “When a man … swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.” Chaucer, too, punned on the idea of “trouthe”—to “pledge one’s trouthe” meant both to enter into an indissoluble contract and to affirm the semantic “truth” of the words manifesting that contract. The Bishop of Exeter, Joseph Hall, wrote in 1608 of “the honest man”: “His word is his parchment.”
What is the “Rickroll”?
Exactly. Part of the reason the media gets so much traction on garbage like this, is conservatives/republicans respond as if their hair was just set on fire.
This is stupid. It’s the media trying to validate their narrative that all things Trump are some combination of stupid, evil and incompetent.
Ignore it. If the public is smart, they’ll see it. If the public is as stupid as I think they are, we never had a chance.
SHE probably didn’t. Someone did.
Motive is the issue.
To me it’s classic “...yes, my husband is tough and will do what it takes to get the job done, but I’m his conscience.”
Much ado about nothing!!
Sheesh. A couple of very similar sentences containing near cliches is not plagarism.
I did not think so of “single sentence” plagarism from Obama, and I do not think so of Melania. There are only so many ways to state simple concepts.
A big nothing burger.
This reminds me of a genius move that Rove played years ago.
He created an outrageous ad accusing a lib of some dastardly act. He then bought a bunch of airtime in tiny markets in the such and the ad was broadcast. Howls of anger arose from the left, and the next thing you know all thee networks are running the ad nonstop. Cable news ran it 24/7.
It cost Rove nothing and destroyed the targeted lib. Genius.
It was one paragraph out of how many?? The point of the paragraph has appeared in every first lady’s speech for years. The words are very similar or same. The wording is similar or same, but the meaning is the same and they all have that paragraph. It is boiler plate language. There are only a small set of words you can use to make the same point.
Chuckle. Your post says it all. Perfectly.
Exactly all this has done was to completely WASTE the other speeches... including Rudi’s...
It didn’t happen. These are phrases Melania’s used before, hardly some brilliant unique soundbite from Michelle.
Whole thing reminds of Rick Lazio. Hillary’s campaign went home that night and tore the debate apart word by word. They saw an opening with the “in her space” thing and put out the word to her media that night.
Next day, voila, story was everywhere, perfectly coordinated just like this speech crap.
It is far more likely than not, that the two sentences being parsed to hell & back, today, were not copies of someone else's writing.
The concepts in those sentences are such common place comments, that the cliches under-discussion have been applied literally thousands of times--maybe millions of times--in very, very similar contexts, in public discourse. Just how many distinct ways can anyone describe the instilling of values in a family. It is virtually impossible to actually do so in a unique manner. But one does not need to copy anyone else, to end up unwittingly copying a great many "anyone else's.
Let us not lose sight of the fact that Mrs. Trump delivered her address--which had a great deal more to it than those two over analyzed sentences--with warmth, sincerity & an effectiveness that neither Mrs. Obama or Mrs. Clinton could ever--ever in their lives--hope to match.
Do not lose sight of the fact that this speech was a great asset to the campaign. It should be played again and again in the campaign.
This whole “Controversy” is basically about people having too much time on their hands nothing better to do..it was a SPEECH..someone sitting at home says to themselves “WOW great speech Im gonna vote for Donald Trump” LOL doesnt work like that..no one gets elected because of a speech..if speeches put people in the White House Sarah Palin would be VICE PRESIDENT Palin right now because her 2008 speech ROCKED
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.
Bingo! Nailed it.
