jim hardy said: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.".
phinds said:That 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.
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).
