What is striking is that Stephanopoulos seemed surprised Trump was willing to overlook the speech issue. He was almost dazed by Trump's response and was willing to let it go. Compared to what Hillary has done, this Melania speech thing is nothing especially when you actually read the passages that were supposed to have been copied. It was not word for word. It was an expression of similar sentiments.

What is noteworthy is how Trump diffused this non issue and how Stephanopoulos was willing to accept Trump at his word and drop it all together. Really amazing how Trump tames the press and always seems to turn negatives into positives.

A fool obsesses with the minutiae; a leader sees the larger picture.

Trump knows what he is doing. I’m not going to second guess.

Well, considering Melania believed in her speech and Moochelle didn’t believe in her 2008 speech, it certainly wasn’t plagiarized in spirit.

While listening to Rush on Tuesday ,,, Rush revealed that Moochelle had stole those lines from her 2008 speech from none other Elizabeth Dole . Rush even played Liz Doles speeches where she said those exact words first .

I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery .

I watched a little bit of GMA this morning.
What a debacle. They did their best to try to stir, make up controversy.

Why is Donna Brasille sitting as a commentator for the repub convention??
Are they gonna have a repub operative critiquing the dims? Bet they don’t

Will never watch GMA again. Soooo obvious biased. No attempt to hide or temper it.

[Logical me]

There was no mistake made.

I’m astonished that Stepho seemed so compliant about it all..thought he would bark on and on, like the Cuomo interview with Manafort. This interview shows Trump’s great strength and media’s oily weakness.

[Salvation]

For later.

The Democrats only WISH Michelle had given the speech that
Melania gave. Instead, Michelle reminded us of what a
horrible country this was & how Hussein being elected was
the first time in her life she had been proud of America.
How she was snubbed in college (sob, sob) and blah . . blah.
(Guess Mooch got back at all those whitey snobs with all her
exotic vacations, huh? AND made THEM pay for it!
Melania Trump’s speech was the POLAR OPPOSITE of the bitter,
self-important lecture that Mooch threw at us.

If I were Trump, I would look into the connection with the registered democrat who helped Melania with her speech and Jarret Hill, the blogger who came almost immediately with the similarities. Are they friends? How could the blogger have made the connection so quickly? Trump needs to clean house now. Get rid of those who will sabotage his candidacy. NOW.
