The Republican Primary Race Is Filling Up

Don't forget the duck humpers that are going to be speaking and snake handling there.

Wow.

Posts such as these are as much a reflection on you as they are an expression of your opinion on others. If you're comfortable with that, I don't know what to say.

She said she wrote that speech "with some help". It's wrong to plagiarize but I feel sorry for her if she got help from someone else who put those words in her speech without her realizing what they are from.

I'm guessing that speech-writer has been thoroughly fired. Probably did it purposefully to cause this sort of reaction

Writing/speeches have 2 components: content and structure. For a professional speechwriter to have both the content and structure match up like that is malpractice. It was either intentional or professionally negligent to an extreme IMHO.

Also, probably not Melania's fault. Unless they showed her Michelle's speech and she asked for "something like that."

 

[Cummins513]

I don't think she deserves all the negative press though, the media is reporting it like its some huge scandal!

A statement

Reaction by the left to the Republican convention continues to be civil as expected:

From a GQ writer, talking about the mother of a Benghazi casualty who spoke at the convention:

That's a dark heart...

It "included fragments"? That's awfully close to an admission. In fact, they could've left it that the sentiments are fundamental to America and have been expressed for generations.

Instead they say the speech included fragments from other people. This remains amateur hour.

Chris Christie says it's "not plagiarism, because 93% of it is different than Michelle Obama's speech"

And of course, Trump apologists deflecting... as always... saying "But Obama/Biden plagiarized too!"... yeah, they did. Therefore... what?

Yeah, I don't blame Meliana here... but damn this campaign is poorly managed. Again... as though they aren't trying to win. Every action has leaned that direction.

If this is all they are complaining about, that's pretty inconsequential.

If you pay Walmart prices, you get Walmart stuff.

I think it's much ado about not much.

 

[Alpo]

She looked better than any potential first lady in the last 100 years. Who was listening to her?!!! I was looking at her...and that soft, silky, sexy Slovenian accent.....

Plus she didn't say that this was the only time she was proud to be an American like Michelle did....

I won't vote for Trump, but Melania would look good in Raquel Welch's 1 Million Years BC outfit....

Interesting. Is Trump not paying staffers very much? That would explain some of the issues.

I think it's much ado about not much.

In the overall scheme of things, I agree. It is more symbolic of deeper concerns, as part of a pattern of low performance. As I've been told by professional campaign people helping in lesser races over the years, how you run your campaign should reflect how you would serve.

 

[printcraft]

Melania's critics just hate immigrants. Racist *******s.






Wow, the race card can fix everything!

"Yeah.... Yuck Yuck yuck...'Cause you know they all love duck huntin' and Jesus so I just made up a funny...'cause you know...I'm all cosmopolitan and stuff 'cause I dun reed Huffington Post and I like Europe...'Cause you know...I'm like all sophisticated...Yuck...Yuck...Yuck...."

I liked 5th grade too....I just eventually grew out of it.....

I don't know what he's paying them, but judging from the quality of his campaign staff, he's going as cheap as he can get away with. He could only get much cheaper if he got it from China.

That's pretty much what I'm saying. There isn't any "there" there as far as impugning the character of Malina. That's all just media buzz to make more of it than there is. The only real story is the Walmart quality of his staff.

Wonder why he'd spend so little? And funnel campaign money back into his own businesses?

It's... now stay with me here for a sec.... It's as though he's only doing this to benefit himself, and doesn't actually want to be President.
