I'm very convinced that the speech was sabotaged. Who in their right mind would plagiarize on purpose anything written or spoken by the Wookie? It had to be done on purpose and it should be punished to the extreme. My first suspicion? A Cruzbot did it. It just sounds like something his minions would do.

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.

If Hillary is found to repeat someone else’s words, nothing will be said. She’ll be defended in the media.

This guy says he is a Republican and I believe him because he is first in line feeding the media narrative.

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.

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.

You can claim ANY speech was part of someone else’s. I don't think anybody cared about anything an Obama said.

Common themes spoken by almost every spouse will bring out Similar words. Especially when you refer to quotes an older generation commonly used.

Chill! As Ben Carson stated Isn’t it nice that Mrs Trump and Mrs Wookie Grew up with the same morality and goals in life.
The leftist media would have found something to make the news of the day just so they wouldn’t have to mention Rudy’s speech or Clarke’s speech.

It was embarrassing and unfortunate.

It is also time to shut up about it.

I am convinced the speech was sabotaged too, most likely by an inside contributor to the speech. Should be fired and sued.

I think this whole issue was blown out of proportion by the MSM, who are desperate for a Hillary presidency.

That being said, I was a bit surprised to read that Trump Is considered to be a “tone deaf screw-up.” How can anyone who blew away the competition In the primaries be considered a screw-up. The author must have Trump confused with Jeb.

Another point...who remembers what was said in a speech 8 years ago. Who discovered the plagiarism - he found it pretty fast...conveniently fast.

Finally, it is known at this point who wrote the part of the speech that lifted from the wookie speech. I'm sure that person will be made to pay for their little prank.

“I’m very convinced that the speech was sabotaged.”

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

It was a set-up from the beginning coming from Cruz working with the globalist/NWO elites.

Go get ‘em Donald!

There were 3 occasions yesterday where I heard the phrase “My word is my bond”. Only once had it anything to do to politics. MOUNTAIN OUT OF MOLE HILL

Reminds me of the Democrat who sabotaged Sara Palin, getting her expensive dresses and bragging about the price to make her “frugal housewife turned politician” story look fake, then threw the dresses in trash bags and advertised that they were thrown away, to create class envy.

The baying mobs, focusing on this in order to suck the focus off Giuliani’s very good speech, etc. Now who would do that?? Libs?? It’s exactly what they did after Sarah Palin’s TERRIFIC acceptance speech - ‘And when the styrofoam columns are backstage again ....’ Demonize, mock, bring down any THREAT. Hmm, they see DJT and Mrs. Trump as threats? Who would have thought??

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:
