Trump needs to speak only off the cuff. Speeches committed to the teleprompter will be leaked to the Dems.

Has anybody dug to see where Michelle O. in turn might have gotten these phrases?

Repeating the quintessentially public domain isn’t plagiarism; it COULD in fact be a setting right of the correct context for its use.

Putting her together with the Michelle-leaning Melania could have been a tactical mistake, because she’d permit Melania to put in something stupid without furnishing helpful feedback.

The answer should be, a real Republican should review any speech the Trump campaign intends to put out, and should at least ask if he really means to say thus and such.

It’s not race.

Today “black” is not a race, it’s a Culture.

Conservatives in general, think “Black” in terms a skin color, a characteristic that you are born with.

Liberals think “Black” in terms of a separate Culture, in which all blacks SHOULD subscribe to, or else they aren’t really a “true” black, i.e., Clarence Thomas.

I wasn’t thinking only in terms of his skin color.

Is it possible that the plagiarism was intentional?

Create controversy and draw more viewers for the next night.

Spread the message to a larger crowd.

Trump has been masterful at turning negatives into positives.

The words can also be found in a 2002 movie, “John Q”: You know that they were not original with Michelle Obama. The thought and words are as common as common can be.

“When you say you’re gonna do something, you do it. Because your word is your bond, son, that’s all you have.”

Yes, that was my thought. Who can criticize Melania’s speech, if it’s just like Michelle’s?

I really don’t care if Melania copied Michelle’s words. But, please, for the love of God, don’t emulate her fashion style. Please!!
