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?

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.

Chuckle. Your post says it all. Perfectly.

“Unless as some here have speculated Trump did this deliberately to dominate the news cycle.”

If true, GENIUS!

That exactly how the "all press is good press" theory works. It attracts attention to a person or product and then the overwhelmingly good qualities are compared to a single "blemish" and a lasting good impression is created.

In the case of Melania's speech, none of the blame or damage accrues to Melania. It only accrues to her speechwriter who will be assumed to be a "#neverTrump"-er or a Cruznut.

How should she know that MO coined the phrase “Your word is your bond.”??

And wasn’t it Casey Casum who said “Keep your feet on the ground but keep reaching for the stars!”??
