Well, I'm a-thinkin' she's not the one who put the speech together. That's a firing offence.

You'd think. But apparently integrity is not important to the campaign:Quote:

Donald Trump's presidential campaign has no plans to fire anybody on the campaign or to take any disciplinary action against anyone for the Melania Trump speech plagiarism controversy, CNN learned Tuesday.
As campaign chairman Paul Manafort indicated at his morning news conference, the campaign's posture is to simply move on from this without addressing it any further.
Mrs Trump claims she wrote the speech with some help. I suspect she asked the writer for some platitudes about growing up poor and having her parents support her and her siblings like parents should....blah, blah, blah. And the staffer did just that but it come out intentionally or not as being very similar to what Mrs Obama spoke about in 2008.Quote:

sorry, couldn't resist it!
Identical, not "very similar". Someone obviously referenced Obama's speech and figured it was 8 years ago so no one would notice it was lifted.Quote:

I stand by the term similar since it wasn't the full speech, just portions of it..Quote:

Also, had no idea Obama had stolen lines from others as well, same with Biden

Ugg but I hate to be defending the Trumps..
The problem with Trump is he says he's going to put the Mexicans in their place, the Muslims in their place, the Blacks in their place...he's going to start a race war.
