Just more evidence that Trump is a Democratic plant.

Manafort on @CNN: "This is once again an example of how when a woman threatens Hillary Clinton, she tries to demean her and take her down.

Wow, they must know how bad this looks.

I feel pretty certain that the Trump campaign did this on purpose, knowing the media would pick up on it and make a big deal. That way, they get to play the victim card and whine more about the liberal media trying to take out a woman for standing against Hillary.

And even if it does hurt Trump a little bit, better have the media focusing on this than the content of the rest of the speeches from yesterday, which would hurt Trump a lot more.

Bravo, Trump. He's very good at manipulating the media, and they never see through it.

CNN: Larry Sabato: I'm a college professor. This is not minor plagiarism. This is major plagiarism.

She's the wife of a presidential candidate. She told Matt Lauer she wrote it herself, with "little help as possible". She blatantly lied. Forgive me if I'm not on the Sympathy for Melania train.

Gov Christie sez 93% of the speech was original.

She took full credit for the speech. Insulting her for her accent or being a dumb bitch is pure sexism, I agree. But she needs to be held accountable.

It's definitely plagiarism. What probably happened is she lifted the speech text, sent it to a staffer without letting them know where it was taken from and the staffer just dropped it in there. All of their mistakes continue to be very easily attributable to running an undisciplined and unprofessional campaign.

I just don't get it how you can be that dumb. She or the speechwriter. Every thinking individual knows that copying speeches, especially from political opponents, results into bad news. How stupid are the people of the Trump campaign?

I think that beautiful woman, Melania shouldn't have 'plagiarized' 22 words. It's really not a big deal she didn't directly plagiarize Obama. She used 22 words that Obama used. They should fire the writer though. This is an non-issue that only the liberals are caring about because of the great night yesterday!

Do you know what would happen if you copied 22 of someone else's words into your college paper? And what writer? I thought she wrote the whole thing herself Tongue

Sure. But that's the word the candidate you support used.

The partisan hackery on atlas is getting ridiculous.   This thread is showing that.
My favorite part about these hacks is that two Democrats appear to have not realized Joe was in jest.

In describing Kelly? Yes, that was very unbecoming. He later said excused himself for saying it, not that that makes up for it, but it was good to see him acknowledge he was wrong. No one here will.
