... According to the operative – who ran a pro-Trump political organization prior to the “First in the South” presidential primary – many of the “new hands” ushered aboard the Trump Train in recent weeks are not loyal to their new employer. Their allegiances remain with U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas – the second-place GOP finisher who bitterly denounced Trump when he dropped out of the presidential race back in May.
“I told you ‘Never Trump’ would infiltrate his campaign’s most inner sanctum,” the aide told us late Monday. “And they clearly succeeded. Knowingly plagiarizing Michelle Obama’s speech? Wow.”
According to the aide, Miller is one of several establishment “Republican” operatives loyal to Cruz who are working hard to sabotage Trump’s campaign from within – “like ISIS infiltrating the refugee population.”..

word is bond is hip hop...or black speech. I remember the DC sniper using it in a letter to Moose.
We’re definitely getting an upgrade in 184 days.
This was a deception to change the MSM narrative. Clintonian maneuver at its best. Not an accident that an unknown gay, black liberal twitter “journalist” discovered the plagiarism, then alerted the MSM within minutes, who blanketed the news chattering about the blue dress, oops, that was Wag the Dog, I meant to say, a few boilerplate lines of a speech.
However, it won't hurt Trump as long as he and his trusted advisers prevent another distraction like this from happening. No one should underestimate Bill Clinton's strategery.
The speech, as I recall, took about 20 minutes. Buy half hour program times--some when the audience will be mostly female, some at times when the audience will be mostly men, and have Melania take five or six minutes to describe the controversy, pointing out how it would be virtually impossible for anyone to invent a completely original way to communicate the family history, captured in the over-vetted sentences. Then ask the viewers to decide what they think, before playing the whole speech.
Confront the silliness head on, and let her very engaging, very appealing personality, both in the proposed introduction and in the actual speech, work its dynamic potential.
This would both allow her to project her enthusiasm for the candidate, while making those carping about "plagiarism" look stupid. If the powers that be in the campaign doubt my take? Let them try the approach with a privately organized focus group, and see for themselves.
I have enough experience in the use of spontaneous TV, to be firmly convinced that this would be a very dynamic way to exploit the idiocy of those supporting Mrs. Clinton.
Oh for goodness sake right back at you.
How many instances AND BY WHOM do you find of this:
”that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say “
It is not plagiarism because no one owns those type of phrases or words which appear in speeches given by athletes, actors, students, anybody who was ever proud of what they accomplished. I think many live in a nitpicking, critical world of pure lunacy especially the disingenuous MSM.
The mainstream media is also a echo chamber, which is why its best to ignore their made up controversy and not give it more life. That’s the lesson.
this just occurred to me could the criticisms of melena Trumps speech been written and turned in before she even gave the speech. the attack on the speech seems to coordinated and fast in the old fashion print journalism side. I am wondering if the newspapers new about this a head of time and if some of the articles that were written could of been turned in for print before she even gave the speech. the important thing to look at is what time the Washington post and the new York times went to print with the story. another thing that needs to be looked at is where theses reporters were physically after the speech. I am betting that they were actually out schmoozing trying to dig up dirt in some cases and it can be proven that there pieces were written will before and then altered slightly by the editors before going to print......if this happened over the internet on web pages I can believe how fast it was caught and spread but for the newspapers that go to print I can not see how. Most news papers go to print at three or four in the morning I just cant see how the story could of made it to print

Why were these folks Silent when the board of review at Boston University concluded that Michael King a/k/a “Martin Luther” King, plagiarized huge portions of his doctoral dissertation.
In the normal case he would have been stripped of his “degree” but much like Hillery, he was given “special “ treatment above the rules that apply to others and they simply added their written findings to his academic file. Nobody cares about that!!
Obama stole from Deval Patrick— absolutely did.Nobody cares about that !
NBC employs a huge plagiarist IMO in Doris Kerns Goodwin. She is on the liberal blabber group on “Meet the Press” Shameless. nobody cares about that!
Michelle stole from Sal Alinsky in the same speech they are screaming about 6 words in Malania’s wonderful 1400 word speech which she knocked out of the park and the whole nation now loves her for who she is!!
This is a non story so we will all move on now like the Democrats always do with their plagiarism— How did I leave out Biden ( his was so bad , he dropped out of the presidential race in 1987 after Maureen Dowd caught his blatant theft words) ???!!!
You are confusing the issue.
This is not about who owns the copyright to the words. It is not about an actionable cause based on plagiarism.
It is about an intentional use of Michelle’s speech AND WHY it was done.
Why can NO ONE point me to anyone else who has used this EXACT phrase in this EXACT way except Melania and Michelle
““”that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say “”
>>>”bottom of who did it and why..”
Ultimately, it’s Trump’s responsibility. Whatever staff he has chosen to vet the speech is responsible.
Media is going to pounce on anything, even if it’s not there. This wasn’t that big a deal, but an unforced gift to MSM. Hopefully, Trump’s team will learn and fix.
You are REALLY missing the point here. The point is this: Yes...it was a great speech...and she did a great job...and that is all that SHOULD matter. But...someone wanted to make sure that great speech was overshadowed by controversy.
You don't just disregard the fact there was sabotage. This was not done by accident...it was done on purpose....and it was not done with the knowledge of the Trump's. The question is WHY and WHO.
The point so many on this thread are trying to make (and so few are understanding) is: This shows you the DEPTHS to which the "NEVERTRUMPS" are willing to go in order to derail his campaign.
The point you need to understand is: WE ARE AT WAR...not only with evil incarnate...Hillary Clinton...but also certain JUDAS factions who are kissing Donald in the cheek for 30 pieces of silver!
how many different ways can you express the same thought in five words?
Try reading something other than torn bodice noevels and msm bull droppings.
Same thought in different words is expressed numerous times in the Bible.
MSM just loves folks taking their bait and running the line out and we’ve got enough simpltons here to wander off the truly important issues facing the survival of this republic and western civilization. It’s as if the deadly events of the past week never happened.
you’ve less than nothing to say, so no response is necessary, straight to the dumper.
I said it before...and I say it again: “WE ARE AT WAR...not only with evil incarnate...Hillary Clinton...but also certain JUDAS factions who are kissing Donald in the cheek for 30 pieces of silver!”
You are missing the point. It’s obvious enough to not be a mistake...and I PROMISE you it’s on purpose...and without the knowledge of the Trump’s. Someone has played the part of Judas here...and we need to ferret them out ASAP.
The latter shows how to use this whole hoopla to clear advantage.
Too many people are rushing to Melania’s defense claiming it can’t be so with a total disregard for the heart of the matter.
I was utterly shocked when I saw a post this morning about Maddow and Matthews saying, in essence, Melania was a victim. I wonder if they have backtracked now that they have their marching orders.
It really is true. Thanks for the bump.
Rickroll? I didn’t even hear that. What’s a rick roll? The fact that this came out so fast makes about supposed plagiarism makes one think that there IS a mole in the Trump campaign group.
The speech was great. Melania could have spoken word for word Michelle and it would have been 10,000 times better.
