mr6666 Posted July 19, 2016 Trump’s RNC Claims Melania Plagiarized Speech From My Little Pony Not Michelle Obama Republicans have come up with a new excuse for Malina Trump's convention speech plagiarism. According to the RNC, Mrs. Trump may have lifted phrases from My Little Pony, not First Lady Michelle Obama. http://www.politicususa.com/2016/07/19/trumps-rnc-claims-wife-plagiarized-speech-pony-michelle-obama.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laffite Posted July 19, 2016 Trump Campaign Says Hillary Clinton Is Behind Melania’s Plagiarism Controversy When in doubt, accuse Hillary Clinton of being a malign and omnipotent force from which all human suffering does emanate. “There was no cribbing from Michelle Obama’s speech,” Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort told CNN’s New Day. “These were common words and values, that she cares about her family and things like that. She was speaking in front of 35 million people last night. She knew that. To think she would be cribbing Michelle Obama’s words is crazy. This is, once again, an example of how when a woman threatens Hillary Clinton, how she seeks out to demean her and take her down."

TheCid Posted July 19, 2016 Think some orange haired husband got his butt chewed out by his wife last night or this morning? Incidentally, what do the Republicans think about her father being a communist and her being raised by him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted July 19, 2016 Seems. We know not seems. Nay, it is. I am STUNNED !!! What mastermind had THAT idea? Who thought, even for a minute, they this would go unnoticed? They couldn't come up with any of these brilliant speech writers to write something for her. Obviously, she didn't know she was parroting. The whole Trump candidacy is now a laughing stock if it wasn't before. Whose got the crook to yank them off the stage. I'm having a hard time believing this. LOL.

laffite Posted July 19, 2016 LOL. I dont! That's because you're going with the flow (to coin a phrase). I'm still backward enough to feel that some of these things are appalling. Appalling, how quaint, laffite! When will I realize that conventional politics has been turned upside down and all the old rules no longer exist. I am now so reactionary as to be amazed that a bozo like Trump could actually gain candidacy and that a opening night speech was so obviously plagiarized. Scandals in days of yore, now merely amusing trifles. But as a geezer I refuse to embarrass myself by writing that classic ole fuddy-duddy lament, "What is the world coming to?" I just won't do it. Get over it, Laffite. What's the world coming to? == 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swithin Posted July 19, 2016 I was very fond of Maria Teresa Thierstein Simões-Ferreira and thought she would be a great first lady. She was born in Mozambique to Portuguese parents. She gave a great speech at the 2004 convention and came across as the intelligent, cultured woman that she is. But I think she was too cultured for the American market. She's better known as Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of John Kerry. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vautrin Posted July 19, 2016 LOL! tRUMP could be the 1st candidate who's numbers go DOWN after the convention NOT up!!! That would be a pretty bad sign. I still think they might move up a little bit.

I feel vindicated at my own stunning reaction to this event (others have had this too, but perhaps not so outrageously as one might expect, or at least not overtly so). This should be read by all. A particularly perspicacious look of what that speech might mean down the line. Read it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arturo Posted July 19, 2016 My sentiments exactly ND...with auburn hair and tawny eyes,the kind of eyes that hypnotize through and through....so i looked away,at least i tried to look away...but couldn't look away for very long.Now I can't get enough of her.She's so freakin' HOT...the Hottest chick to come down the pike since Jackie Kennedy...makes me wonder why Anybody would want to vote for a mean ugly ill tempered old hag like the Hildabeast..EEEK EEEK EEEK...People won't be voting for Melania, but that mean ugly old bozo next to her.

Arturo Posted July 20, 2016 I cant remember that far back. Anyone up for some research? I dont think Humphrey's numbers were that great to begin with.

Swithin Posted July 20, 2016 There has been the occasional reference to 1968 in the media. A couple of commentators said Nixon won because of his law and order platform. But it was the war, Blanche, it was the war. LBJ dropped out, RFK and MLK, Jr. were assassinated, the anti-war protests in the streets of Chicago were intercut with the proceedings from inside the convention -- that's what really did it. Humphrey came very close to winning -- it wasn't a landslide, apart from the electoral count. A few thousand votes in a handful of states would have given Humphrey the election. But the war, and the rest of that year's drama did him in. Humphrey was a good guy, it was a shame. I liked RFK. Went to a campaign rally for him near where I lived, in the Bronx. But I wasn't voting age yet, and tragically, we'll never know if he would have become the candidate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
