Haha. God this is beautiful. Steve going in hard. HahaWhy not both?
In an interview with Matt Lauer, Melania said she wrote the speech herself "with as little help as possible" (video, jump to 1:10):
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc-news/watch/exclusive-the-trumps-speak-with-matt-lauer-727480899958
I can see Melania Googling "what's a good convention speech for a first lady"
22 out of 26 words.
She claims she wrote it herself. She's a liar or a thief. Pick.
She did the Google
Doesn't that count for something??
You think they defend plagiarism?
Edit: Literally the only speech of the night where people were like "Oh that wasn't completely terrible, she did well".
They'll say it was a mistake. It was placeholder words that they meant to change but forgot. (Whose excuse was that, I can't remember).

Note-- Melania said she wrote it herself and that it took 5-6 weeks.
Edit: Meh sorry, missed it a bit above. I'm an idiot.
So is she lying about writing it? Or is whoever she paid to write it the plagiarizer? It's juicy either way.

All this maelstrom over plagiarism and Trump's ghostwriter reminded me that Obama probably did not write Dreams of My Father. Why do politicians have to be such frauds?

This is incredible. Michelle Obama is a legend.
22 out of 26 words.

Wait, she said she wrote it herself? Well this just got a lot worse. She's basically a female Trump. I bet they start tearing it apart now because you know there's liable to be sections from other speeches in there.
As much as we yuck yuck and party on the shit show, at the end of the day this is literally half the country. As a minority this shit is heart breaking and terrorizing.
It's pretty gross. I really really hope Trump doesn't have a floor
Uneducated white people falling for his bullshit? Sad and awful, but I get it.
College educated whites falling for it? Fuck them. Fuck them, that's bullshit. They know damn well what they are voting for.
I'd expect Hillary's team to have something on this tomorrow. Obama is likely to bring it up on the trail at some point, too.
This is one of those situations where I'd want Team Clinton to tread carefully on the issue, rather than having them actively going after the opponent's spouse. It's very probable that the media is going to run with it without Clinton's help.

Just picked up by CNN. I'm trying to eat here but I'm cackling and choking on this rice.
Someone else told her to say that.Why is McCain dude saying Melania is a victim. She said on CBS she wrote it herself.

The Obamas won't bring this up. They're just gonna kill it next week.

Probable? Given that was the only bright point in an epic shitshow of a first day there's no way everyone doesn't run with this.

And my god are they giving her the benefit of the doubt a country mile wide.

They can't run with it. Clinton's people have to stand back and let the media do the work for them. If a single ad comes out referencing this or a single speech is given, the Trump campaign can just turn around and play victim, and the story dies. This is just the latest in the Trump Mountain o' Lies, and certainly won't be the last.

Thought that the Benghazi stuff from today would be what the media would talk about and take away from this.

Calling this out might be the first thing that the entire CNN Clusterfuck Panel has unanimously agreed upon, ever. None of them are trying to excuse anything.
Jeffery Freaking Lord agrees with Van Freaking Jones on a thing. That's how brutal this is.

Good point, Tom. With the networks on it, they likely don't have to react.

If anything have surrogates rip on it, but not the campaign.
But it does look like the media is already hooked on it. I mean even dumb white Trump voters might think plagiarism is an uh-oh!
I wouldn't even have surrogates touch this, this will burn like crazy all on it's own

You know he has gone nuclear
Sad thing: I think so lowly of the media that if they were to let this die down after an initial day or two, I wouldn't be shocked.
I hoped otherwise. I think it'll be a thing. But at the same time, I don't trust the media one bit. Trump seems to operate under a different set of rules; I can't count the number of times where I've wondered how the media would've handled a situation differently had we been talking about Clinton instead.

At my university I saw someone with a laptop covered in Trump 2016 stickers. Barely any surface of the laptop was visible. Even some California college students support this manIt's pretty gross. I really really hope Trump doesn't have a floor

Don't forget that Trump can't let ANYTHING go.

That's the best part of this whole thing.
If they drop it they drop it. Her campaign shouldn't touch it, there will be many more unforced errors and mistakes that they can and should focus on. Her campaign or surrogates getting sidetracked on this would be a mistake.

Please god, if there's any justice in this universe please let there not be a shooting or some other act of violence. One because we are tired of grieving for innocent lives and two because Trump has been given too many timely news changing events in this nightmare campaign for Trump to get away with his bullshit.
