Plagiarism

A classy presentation last night at the Republican convention by Donald Trump's wife, Melania, has deteriorated overnight when it was discovered that a small part of this talk was rephrased from Michelle Obama's speech at the 2008 Democrat convention. The pejorative term being gleefully trumpeted is "plagiarism." Watching the side-by-side comparisons of these few sentences leads me to believe that Melania's speechwriter for this small section was certainly guilty of misfeasance.  The liberal media is in full playground attack mode ... predicting firings within the Trump campaign, large defections among Trump delegates, and even the breakup of the Trump marriage.

Watching MSNBC this morning would suggest that the Trump campaign is flying apart. This may be partially true, but I feel that Donald Trump has faced similar crises many times in the past and will somehow survive this kerfuffle. I also strongly suspect that one or more campaign staffers will fall on their swords well before prime TV time tonight. And this whole matter will quickly blow over ... except of course in numerous Hellary Clinton campaign ads that will be repeatedly played in the coming months. Forming these commercials will be a little tricky however... because their making Melania look bad does nothing to promote Hellary's message that this is the year of the woman.
