You know it's getting bad when they overwrite the soundtrack on Stephen Colbert's Hillary Email routine !



That's a stunt worthy of the worst Republicans .

"Liar, Liar, Pantsuit on Fire"


I think there is a misunderstanding here. That soundtrack is there because Colbert wants to make it like a rap battle.

Ms Trump was clearly set up by speechwriters loyal to establishment .
What an awful thing to do to somebody for whom English is second language

Trump should turn this around on them by issuing statement
"The speech writer simply forgot to credit MIchelle when paraphrasing her words from that 2008 speech
and the campaign apologizes for that omission.
Imitation is after all the sincerest form of flattery."

Then sue those speechwriters for Melania's embarrassment .

Agreed, although I think it was more likely stupidity/carelessness than a "set up".

That's would have been excellent solution to the problem if done immediately but last I heard they are doubling down (as always) on their stupidity and insisting that there is no plagiarism and it's all Hillery's fault and the media's fault. No mistake on their part. Some of the more sane Republicans ARE conceding, some readily, that obviously there was plagiarism, but those closest to Trump are not.

I'm open to the idea that a rouge speechwriter might be involved.

Otherwise I have to give her a lot of credit for successfully rickrolling the entire RNC.

I can assure you, he is the 'guy'. He will never, ever, give up. And, most importantly, he will never, ever, let you down.

You were SO on track with your solution. Too bad they lied and obfuscated for days before doing what they should have done at 7am the next morning (and likely would have done had their campaign staff been competent).

:oldlaugh: The Germany version brings back memories from my time there as a foreign exchange student. I went there to practice my German but they wanted to practice their English.
