SHE SAID SHE SAID

I was annoyed yesterday and felt that the speech was purposely sabatoged as well and that the person ought be fired.

Now upon reflection I am coming to the conclusion and realization that it could have been a Trump family member who inadvertently and entirely by accident ended up including the Wookie snippet - or not - however:

I am now in the

LET IT GO! LET IT GO! entirely camp. (Elsa copyright - not a Disney fan, but this does fit)

It’s over!!! The election is over!!! The first lady will be Saturday Night Bill and Sunday Morning Bill! How could this happen???!!! She read a paragraph from somebody else’s speech! Worse than Benghazi! Whitewater! Travelgate! Filegate! Emailgate! Under Firegate! Quaddafigate!

[Mollypitcher1]

I agree. A Cruzbot did it.

[carolinablonde]

I simply meant that college is usually where you learn to be very careful about giving attribution.

[Mollypitcher1]

I totally agree. WHY are people so concerned about nothing unless their only motive is to throw mud? THIS COUNTRY has BIG PROBLEMS. Address the issues, not scummy crap playing a blame game.

[Mollypitcher1]

I TOTALLY AGREE.

[Parmy]

It seems to me that before everything became so fouled up by lawyers, a man was as good as his word and his word was his bond.

But, I guess that phrase which used to be so common isn't common any more.

I wonder if any McCain\Romney\Bush people are working for Trump ?

oh wait, that would be Paul Manafort

If it was sabotage it was pretty lame sabotage. On the other hand, our irresponsible national media has made it the biggest news of the week.

Here:

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

The NYT, a propaganda organization masking as journalism making this online news two days later proves beyond all else how minor the Trumped up “crisis” is. Those bothering to check will likely find that Michelle’s sentence was also an adaptation from other speeches.

I found it quite interesting that the news media had this story before Melania was off the stage.

hmmmmmm.

But the can not find Hillary’s 30,000 emails.?

[bgill]

My first thought was why would Matt Lauer ask her if she wrote the speech. Strange question IMO.

He was tipped off. Too bad she fell for it. Heads need to roll.

[Baldwin77]

Are the liberals picking on an immigrant?

[thorvaldr]

So now there is suddenly supposed to be some rule that you can’t use stuff somebody else said in a speech? Didn’t seem to be a rule when Obama did it, or when Biden did it. And you know for sure that is won’t be a rule next time some Democrat did it. Searching for who is responsible is going along with the liberal fiction that something wrong or even unusual happened. And the “plagiarized” section! Michelle Obama is supposed to have made up hard work and keeping your word? She got that fro a dozen other peoples political speeches. It’s stupid to play the liberals game, instead hit Hillary for bringing up BS like this.

[FourtySeven]

I don’t think it was sabotage. My gut feeling is that it was some lazy speechwriter’s too cute by half idea to have Melania say the same words Moochie did, and then when everyone praised Melania, the “brilliant” idea was to have someone “discover” that the same words were spoken by Ms. Bulge to lukewarm reception.

“Ha-Ha”, they thought would be the end result, “look at what a dud Michelle is and Melania is such a star in comparison! They both said the same words with dramatic difference”.

Well, the half-baked idea didn’t go over so well.

I believe this is the real reason because it’s been my experience countless times that when only two possible reasons for an act remain, conspiracy or stupidity, stupidity is usually the reason.

Yes, someone should be fired. Whoever was directly responsible for the problematic portions of the speech, from the writer(s) to yes even Manafort if he was directly responsible for reviewing it. I pointed out how he was a party hack when he replaced Lewendowski, and how it seemed it was a bit hypocritical to praise the use of Manfort’s talents on Trump’s campaign and condemn the use of Bush’s talents on Cruz’s.

Then I got flamed for being a “Cruz bot” and the comparison was dismissed out of hand for that “reason”.

Well enjoy. Not that anyone will admit both were infections to both campaigns even now.

[Genoa]

Manafort is a liability and needs to go. As soon as the convention adjourns, he needs to go.

[Mr. K]

Not so sure I agree-

At first I was pretty surprised- but then the talk quickly turned to the plagiarism committed by Michelle O herself AND Biden AND Obama AND HilLIARy... And several hilarious memes about the democrats suddenly caring about honest and integrity and the comparison of how they care about 50 words in a speech but not 3000 emails by their candidate...

Someone even suggested it might have been an ‘own goal’ on purpose to sandbag the opponents while they were squealing in delight.

That shut down some of the talk immediately- but not all, and it never will.

They are still trying to push ANYTHING except the contents of the great speeches that followed.

How do you plagiarize universal common sense and truth, such as work hard for what you want, do what you say you will do,
etc? These are things any responsible parent would teach their children, no? This is all a msm-Rat attempt to besmirch Melania and by extention Donald Trump.
