Don’t worry. Donald will zap them in a twitter.

Trump, Manafort and Melania are amateurs when it comes to this level of televised political speech. I fully expect—as they admitted—that they had “pros” involved.

And that blonde bunk is a pile of bunk.

“...wonder who we’ll find that she copied lines from?”

So if we go back and put MO’s speech under this type of scrutiny, wonder who we’ll find that she copied lines from?

[The Toll]

It’s hard to vette against the insignificant.

[Sir_Ed]

If she had submitted that as a student to a teacher, the teacher would have rejected the paper and given her an F.

P.S. The important thing is that the weasel Ryan doesn’t steal the election from Trump!

"'I’ll even take it one step further: Donald himself wrote her speech and planted the phrases in there, with Melania’s consent. "
