I might if I gave a crap.
It was more likely due to carelessness and disorganization than any deliberately planned act. Writing and vetting Melania Trump’s speech was obviously not high on the list of Monday night priorities and so this blunder slipped through. Maybe now Trump will realize why other candidates have campaign staffs in the hundreds instead of a few dozen.
Unless as some here have speculated Trump did this deliberately to dominate the news cycle.
Melania plagiarized? Wow, look at her, isn’t she pretty?
Who did she plagiarize? Michelle Obama. God, how I hate her. Her husband is doing a lousy job as President isn’t he?
Too many similarities to be an accident. Bring back waterboarding.
Some speech writer wanted to make her and Donald look like amateurs. The Rick Roll in the speech was telling, too.
It did happen, and it did not have to.
I hope they smoke the mole(s) out of his or her darkened hole. Donald may want to get one of his adult kids to assist with final editing of all public speeches and teleprompting materials when those are utilized. Something’s rotten in Cleveland, and you can bet this won’t be the last time sabotage is attempted. Those NeverTrumps are on a manic mission to destroy what they cannot control.
Rickroll? Much ado about nothing. Haters gonna hate.
Melania was superb!
The whole first day was filled with many devastating comparisons. The selection of the speakers was genius! To weave the comparison from what the left says with forced emotion compared to the true & raw emotion of those wronged! Those who’s lives impacted by leftist policies and the last 7 and 1/2 years of incompetence. The hate America crowd compared to the crowd that loves America.
After 7 and 1/2 years of Obama family values, I think the US will do very well with President Trump & First Lady Melania!
Not really, common themes in speeches bring about similar words, and if your parents said your word is you bond then that is what they said.
“They’re not incompetent,” the operative said. “They’re evil.”
Staffers from any of the other primary campaigns should be highly suspect. If Trump intends to win this election, he is going to have to blackball any staffers who ever worked for Romney, Cruz, the Bushes, or any other global communist GOP-e candidate.
There are services that students and teachers use to check for plagerized papers, is this available for public speakers? Seems like an easy thing to check for these days. Who didn’t check?
Sorry, but I just can’t get worked up over this. A politician’s wife, or even a politician, giving a speech is not a Grad student being graded for creating an original work.
Also, how many bands cover another group’s song? Doesn’t make it automatically wrong or bad. When giving a speech, sure it is better to give credit to the original author, if one can even be identified, but really, I don’t see the big deal.
I think it might be a closeted Cruz supporter counting coup.
I don’t think much of it. It has nothing to do with Trump’s run for president. The left are grasping at Straws. They can only hold onto this thing for a day or so.
People should care because infiltration is not tin hat stuff. In fact I would be confident that after DT cleaned up and tried to mend fences his organization was the most vulnerable to infiltration and treacherous clowns.The Bushes, Cruz etc. these are bitter souls looking for revenge not reconciliation.
Tend to agree with this sentiment.
Coupled with what appears to be a leak from within the campaign that Trump was considering dumping Pence at the last minute, it is at least plausible.
No doubt the media and internet sleuths will dissect all of the major speeches for the rest of the convention.
I expect a campaign purge following the convention. Perhaps as early as following the official roll call vote.
The RomneyBots are at it again...
in 2008 they set up Sarah Palin in order to torpedo McCain’s chances after infiltrating the McCain campaign...
now as rabid supporters of Cruz theyre doing it again...this time starting with Mrs trump..
I like how Paul M and Newt handled this and that is the way should be. We only give more fuel by continuing to post on and on about it.
The solution is not to vote for Melania for President, but to vote for Donald instead.
I look at it as an opportunity ...
Every Speaker scheduled from now on should say and quote the supposed pilfered words Melania spoke last night and then Donald should as well and then follow it up with ...
Comparing who has said what and who has done what... who has a history of following through and who just utters words.
Just an idea
