So, that's a pretty serious consequence ~ wouldn't you say? I mean, it did take him down.


What should be the consequence of blatant plagiarism?

The premise of this thread is, frankly, silly.

It's a flimsy attempt to deflect the muckup of Melania Trump's speech content.

Message to Trumpettes: Nice try, but it ain't working. Better off to try and throw some coins in a fountain.

No wonder it flopped. At least Melania had the excuse of having poor English. What's Michelle's excuse?

I admit that Trump is also a corrupt liar.

But I hit the nail on that liberal poster's hypocrisy.

If you can't see that then you aren't thinking due to partisan rancor.
TY DC as I was going to say exactly the same thing..I have not read one post declaring any one of Trump supporters vote for Hillary..Just questioning their optical illusion view of what happened in Melania's loaded teleprompter speech.

I do not blame Melania one bit..her delivery was just fine..but unfortunately the words and phrases she spoke was borrowed ( taken from another's well documented speech from 8 years previous). True to form..never admit errors and continue to blame anyone but staffer's, candidate, speaker ..Yikes they have Hillary to blame..which is all GO has been doing since she left office..It actually started in Congress post Benghazi in order to discredit her..WHY?? because they knew she would be vying for POTUS just a few years down the road!

This is just a sniff as to how a Trump Whitehouse would run America.. NO one expects **********'s to change their vote..They will have to wait for their "Pied Piper" to stop his tune/tone and style..Then may slip of that path..BUT No one expects them to vote for Hillary..Best outcome would be to do a "Write-in" vote!!

I also never said Mrs Trump mishandled this. I said the Trump campaign mishandled it. And they have. They've grossly mishandled it. Which in my opinion draws into question the way the Trump campaign has handled, or mishandled, other issues that have come up. I find Trump calling his opponents names, attacking wives and fathers, and finger-pointing to be indicative of his problem-solving skills.

I don't think that Hillary mishandled the e-mail scandal. I think she mishandled the e-mail. And she has said she was wrong and has apologized. To date, there is not concrete evidence that her e-mail was hacked. And there is concrete evidence that government servers have been hacked. So while Hillary's private e-mail server may have been a needless risk, her actions didn't rise to the level of criminality (the conclusion that the FBI arrived at as well), and as far as we know, security wasn't compromised. So yes, I will be voting for Hillary in the fall. That doesn't mean that I agree with every position she's taken, or that I approve of every action she's ever taken. It does mean that in weighing her record overall, and looking at Trump's non-existent political record, his never-to-be-released tax returns, his documented lies during this campaign, and his childish and erratic behavior, that I think Hillary would be the better President.

I understand that you disagree with me. That doesn't make me wrong.
^^^^^^^^ Talking Heads for Trump has spent most the day trying to place blame elsewhere..denying ..which is what all defendants ..whoopsey surrogates do when accused of "Bad Acts" or "Made mistakes" or " Hurt the Brand"..etc etc etc..

I'd be more worried about copyright infringements on "Queens" song than protecting what Trump's campaign DID to Melania

P.S. I don't think I can vote for Trump or Hillary....brake the chains on your brain and have free thoughts for once.
I don't have a sheep-like attitude, and my thoughts are completely free.

Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I'm wrong. It doesn't mean that I haven't given this year's election a great deal of thought. It doesn't mean that I don't do research and arrive at my own conclusions.

That you insult the people who disagree with you by suggesting otherwise, with no foundation except that they disagree with you, is really a sign that you can't handle others actually thinking independently.

You're exactly right, silverkris.

It's just a lame deflection because a major blunder at the GOP convention yesterday.

You are why our country is messed up.

"It is okay if my team screws over the country, but I will scream bloody murder when the other team does it."
Even the FBI director (a staunch Republican) said there's no reason to believe Hillary lied about the emails. I accept his assessment, not the one parroted in the Limbaugh Bubble.

Your constant deflecting from the numerous failures of Trump and (especially) the GOP are the reason why our country is messed up.

It is not about what she has done, or about handling or mishandling. It is about who we all are. Each day is a new day and we are who we are because of how we look at that new day. Last night I saw a quality person who has not led a perfect life but who is in there trying to make a better life for herself and her family. And I have no intention of having someone I have never met nor ever care to meet tell me what I should think until you become perfect yourself.

I think Mrs. Trump would make an exceptional first lady. She stood in front of all those people and gave a wonderful speech. When any of you have done the same thing with the kind of style and grace she displayed, I will listen to what you say about her. Until then, "Blow it out your ear."

By the way, she would not talk about you the way you talk about her because her parents taught her to show respect to other people.

Did you also think that the first time you heard it? You know, eight years ago when Michelle Obama, the originator of that "wonderful speech," debuted it when her husband was running for president? (I bet you didn't.)
