Mission accomplished. She is probably one of the most well known people in the world right now. And oh yes, they probably picked up thousands of votes and losing zero because no one cares one iota about this except some hystetical Clinton supporters and a dumb medi realizes that they have been had.

For someone like me who enjoys observing how politicians operates, and how the easily manipulated media and social media reacts, this has been delicious.
Man, you are dense. Her plagiarism wasn't a big deal. She could have easily walked with a few words; however, people will remember how it was handled. Reasonably, you can assume this is how Trump handles things. If you think doubling down on denial, even having surrogates blaming a children's animated character, made Trump look presidential your just not bright. Add to that, he had all of you plus all other republicans denying accusations, making-up conspiracies, and generally looking like buffoons.

Today, they admit it was a mistake. All of you still look like buffoons as you try to act like it was some Jedi mind game or no big deal. The actual plagiarism was no big deal. That was said many times during and after the event. The denial, My Little Pony, vitriol for Michelle Obama, and wild conspiracies made you look nuts. It also demonstrated how Trump and his team would handle anything--like buffoons. I know you desperately want to believe that he is playing mind chess, but in reality, he isn't. He has unbridled hubris, erratic narcissism, and glaring incompetence. He's not playing.

MLK is dead.

For a more relevant example: When you say "crooked Hillary" do you, for consistency reasons, also call him "extremely crooked Donald" or are you giving Trump a pass? Because according to fact checking sites he lies much more than Hillary.

Hmmm.
OH, it wasn't just "allegations". He committed plagiarism. The allegations forced him to withdraw, because he could not rebut them, and his credibility was seriously damaged. While he returned to the Senate and rebuilt his reputation so that he could run again two decades later is a testament to his political ability, and to the short memories of the American electorate.

IF he 'lies', as you call it, at least it's not about matters that affect national security.

For that matter, most people tell some untruths and that may well include you. I wouldn't be upset about it, though, unless that put the rest of us in jeopardy.

Yet he couldn't organize a well-written speech for his wife, nor could he organize a coherent campaign response to the subsequent brouhaha. Couldn't organize a non-ridiculous logo when he announced his vice president candidate. At this point, I rather doubt he could organize a p.ss-up in a brewery.

The really good stuff will be revealed during the debates.

Politicians are manipulating the electorate all of the time. All of the time. That is how they make $153 million from Wall Street.

Too easy!!

I know the mods are on the sideline waiting for me to say something. I'm not falling for it. I've already been suspended way too often.

And so you believe Trump is not lying to you that he will flight ISIS with only a very few boots on the ground?

I do believe that is a National Security lie involving the US going to war.

Or he can make Mexico pay for a fence for National Security.

And you have no idea how bad it is for the left.. At first have to have a mind to lose, laughable....
