Weird Convention and Mrs Trump Plagiarizes Michelle Obama in 08

WE ARE GOING TO WIN SO BIG!!!!!! DTrump

                                                                       

Before we go into the details of why the speech failed its mission to unify the convention and maybe the Republican party, We most address something that MSNBC just found out. It seemed that Melania’s words on her speech to the convention sounded familiar to many on the media. Let’s check the last time a first lady gave a speech, Michelle Obama. So Far they have found around 100 words which are the same as Michelle Obama’s on her speech to the Democrat Convention on 2008. 

People are giving Melania the benefit of the doubt concluding that it was the speech writers that committed the deed. Something crazy to do but the thing is these people are used to saying what ever and no body challenges them. So who is going to go and check a speech given 8 yrs ago.

 On the speech of Giuliani he accused the President of the United States in being in cahoots with the killer of the Police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge. They brought a lady who is supposed  o be the mother of one of the four people killed in Benghazi (The ambassador).  She accused Hillary of personally killing her friend and son of this lady. Everybody was crying! If she believes Hillary took an F16 and flew to Benghazi from the White House where she was with the President and the head of the CIA and killed the diplomat who happened to be her friend. How could they put this crazy lady mother or not. (Is she the real mother? Now I question everything. There was no decorum just accusations and insults. Why bring this lady to cry and make accusation which are not true. Yes they follow no rules and hit below the belt. 

That does not gives you the right to say anything you want in a convention to the nation. Who puts that show?  The Republican’s do. Trump does and these are going to be the most hair raising months until the election

I thought I would have a good time watching the craziness but the craziness turned mean. Towards each other and the Current government elected by whom. Yes the american people. Even Gov Christie showed up at the end and was sitting on a chair on the side by the wall and as a reporter asked shim if Trump will eventually get the convention and GOP together for November. He said “Yes” which is the answer you expect. What I did not expect that before the reporter walked out the yelled and said “just as Hillary will.” I said he is still pissed and not hiding. Imagine all that sucking up and doesn’t even get to speak at the convention even though that is not what he expected.

They also had Chachi from a comedy series from another age. He said “Being an american is not getting free stuff”! Wao…If you get free stuff you are not an American..new rule! (code word for social security, food stamps , medicaid help and unemployment Insurance, which this guy has used many times before he made money on a long series).
I will make a projection that if the convention continues on the craziness track they will come out of it the way they went in with the same numbers and with no traditional 5% bump.

I'm mad I missed Scott Baio's speech. Yes, on the face of it, it's ridiculous, albeit rather fitting, that he was there (although Trump only asked him to speak a few days ago -- on Thursday), and that he got a better speaking slot than Joni Ernst, one of the few female Republican electeds willing to ring in Donald Trump as the GOP nominee.

What to make of that horrible management of the Ernst speaking slot. The rule-of-thumb with these things is that the people watching the first three days of a convention are typically partisan die-hards - you know, the kind of party regulars who know who Ernst is and might be jazzed to watch her. Instead, she spoke to an emptying auditorium after most Republicans had tuned out. Sad! 

Her speech was adequate. Nothing to write home about, but adequate seems to be the watchword at this convention so far. It was far better than Michael Flynn's near-endless rant, however. The Putin-loving general, who a minute ago was being floated as Trump's veep, has no future in politics. He was flailing from the moment he got onstage, trying to get the sleepy crowd to chant "USA!" along with him and mostly failing. It was somehow both manic and dull.

The star of the evening, of course, was Melania, who's spent so much of this campaign ferreted away in a penthouse somewhere. But here she was, speaking at length, talking about Donald after he introduced her. (The only moment of the night that seemed really well thought-out was how he appeared on stage in a cloud of smoke, probably because it was the only 15 seconds of night one that Trump was really invested in.)

Two very strange moments in Melania's speech. The first is that she didn't offer a single humanizing anecdote or insight into the candidate. Take out the bland references to the son she has with Trump, and that could have been any other Trump surrogate's speech.

The second, and much more glaring, strange moment is when Melania seemed to plagiarize Michelle Obama's 2008 speech to the Democratic convention.

That "seemed" there was perhaps overly polite. A key section of Melania's speech really was lifted almost word-for-word from Michelle Obama, and you'll be hearing a lot about that over the next few days, because it's such a surreal bit of incompetence on Team Trump's part. Melania told NBC earlier that she wrote it "with a little help as possible," but that was a professional speech written by a professional speechwriter. And that professional speechwriter made an almost unfathomably huge mistake.

One of the big stories of this campaign is how few professional Republican operatives are willing to get anywhere near Trump and company, in large part because they fear they'll be blacklisted in GOP politics if they do. The best and brightest in the party's warrior class aren't helping him, and are in large part embarrassed by him. That means Trump is being staffed by second- and third-tier folks, and that means screw-ups and own goals like Melania stealing a FLOTUS riff are probably unavoidable. No speechwriter worth anything would have ever let that stuff get in. 

Then again, with a candidate like Trump, maybe even the best staffers would be ineffectual. Another weird moment: Trump calling into Bill O'Reilly just as Patricia Smith, the mother of Benghazi victim Sean Smith, was giving an emotional anti-Hillary speech. Putting aside whether it's wrong to trot out a grieving parent like that for political purposes, why would Trump try and compete with her? Is there no one in Trump's orbit who would tell him that's a bad idea? If there is, does Trump just not care?

Come to think of it, that Scott Baio's invitation to speak was one of the less mystifying things about the convention's kick off. The GOP loves celebrities, and isn't really run by the kind of people who can differentiate between a big get and a has-been. It's also typically run by people who know the basics, things like "don't steal a passage from a celebrated speech by the current first lady" and "don't pointlessly distract from your own damn event."

Or at least it was before Trump.
