As I said the speech was flawless - America - American Pride - American Values. You and I know that is not what is being reported today. Instead snippets that had little bearing on the overall speech are being played over and over again. It wont sway my vote. I’m not voting for 1st lady. But how will this play out with the average low info voter? And how much has it taken the attention off of the other outstanding speakers. As mentioned earlier, Sen. Sessions speech has not been mentioned at all. What about Rudy or Mrs Smith.
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.
