Of course it was sabotage. The disconcerting thing is that the amateurs running Trump’s campaign let some millenials do this. Disconcerting. Let us hope Trump learns from this.
The whole thing is a mess.I feel for Mrs Trump.Someone screwed her and Donald over big time
I would be on pins and needles in regard to Cruz tonight.
Tempest in a teapot!
the only people that care about this are the echo chamber msm.
Exactly. Much ado about nothing.
Yawn.
If Hillary is found to repeat someone else’s words, nothing will be said. She’ll be defended in the media.
The Tempest needs to be shit canned
This guy says he is a Republican and I believe him because he is first in line feeding the media narrative.
After the plagiarism incident(s), I don't know why Cruz is being allowed to speak if there is no guarantee that he will endorse Trump.
I agree that I feel sorry for Mrs. Trump. But there is growing thought the reason a head hasn’t rolled is because the insertion may have been done by family, not some speechwriter or intern.
It.was.not.Plagerism!!!!!!!!

Look up “my word is my bond”.

The whole discusion is NUTS!!!!!
Let. It. Go. Already. It is the media that is sabotaging and stoking this crap.
I don’t know, I kind of think that Melania did it. There is a report this morning that the people who wrote the initial draft of the speech say what they submitted was very different and did not have the passages that were lifted from Michelle Obama’s speech.
Melania apparently didn’t graduate from college, despite claims to the contrary, so she may not have understood the ramifications of copying words verbatim from someone else.
And many people don’t understand that once something is on the internet, it lives there forever.
Agreed. Next week this won’t even be remembered.
Now, if the Left wants to engage in a critique of "first ladies" ...
Let us hope Trump learns from this.
***********
Trump is learning that politics is a viscous business at best, and blood sport at worst.
Will he adapt to the game or continue to operate as if he’s in the business world? Not being critical; just wondering how much tolerance he will have over the long run for the cesspool that politics really is.
Melania is going to be a target for all sorts of irrational hate. These guys are like suicide bombers, so tearing down the entire power structure is counter-productive in a national campaign because these asshats are so pervasive in the political establishment.
Just understand what she’s up against and factor it in.
Absolutely. What finishes Republicans off is not Democrats, its Republicans, they eat their own.
This is such a non-issue. The "plagiarized lines were platitudes that probably go back to the time of Caesar. Not like Michelle had some original thought that would equal "Ask not what your country can do for you?"
And I don't believe anyone who would call for Manafort to be fired is a true Trump supporter. That would be political suicide.
Republicans need to shut up, let the left carry Hillary's water without our help.
