Like, if they'd stolen part of Laura Bush's speech this wouldn't even be a story.

Right, since then it'd be treated as an homage, not plagiarism. What a boneheaded move, even for this campaign - some speechwriter is going to have a really bad day tomorrow.

"Let's see if I can get them to applaud a Moochelle Obama speech if it's coming out of my wife's mouth!"

They'll play the clips back to back on the networks, and then the Trump guy will say they're completely different, and the non-Trump guy will say they're the exact same. Then Donald will speak about how they haven't stolen a single word, and that some guy from Texas liked the speech so much he sent them a little dog and Ivanka named it Checkers, or something, and then that will be the end of it.

CLEVELAND - A Utah delegate was reportedly threatened inside a bathroom at Quicken Loans Arena during the Republican National Convention Monday.

According to NBC, Utah delegate Kera Birkeland was on the floor during the Rules vote as one of the delegates calling for a roll call vote.

Birkeland reportedly went to the women's restroom and when she emerged from a stall, a group of Trump supporters surrounded her and threatened to kill her, urging her to leave the party and the state.
