Regardless of how the campaign reacts, someone at the RNC is right now in the process of setting a room full of interns to work googling sentences from every upcoming speech.
the next speech is going to end up sounding like some kind of markov chain

Melania steals from Michelle Obama's speech on the same night Steve King told us nonwhite groups have never contributed anything to civilization.

Because of Melania, Trump, not wanting to be accused of plagiarism at his crowning moment is going to last minute trash his bore pared speech and give a two hour barely contained stream of consciousness rant to end the RNC. It's going to be glorious.

Just stopping by to say that with each passing moment the 2016 election goes back and forth between horrifying and hilarious and this might be the most thoroughly entertaining long-form event of most of our lifetimes.

2008 was way better. The primary and election on LF were gold from beginning to end.

It will and to be honest it's completely inconsequential. On the other hand it's an easily digested newsbite while the actual shady poo poo would probably just get overlooked.

Is there any chance they weren't smart enough to have a whole stable of speechwriters, and they used the same guy for everything? And now they have to be scared of sabotage in every speech, including his acceptance?

LOL what stable? A few weeks ago Trump said he only had 30 staffers for the whole nation. That might have changed as the GOPe forced people on Trump, but come on.

Cooooommmmmmmmeeeeeeee oooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

You know what guys no stop back-up here. We're letting this poo poo slide too easily.

They got Vilerat's mom to talk at the convention. They got Vilerat's loving mom to talk at the convention in order to score voter brownie points.

Just...

I can't. I just can't. Like who would loving do that?? Who!? What kind of a person, would ask a mother to parade her son's memory in support of Trump. AND! AND do this while no doubt said son's grieving widow watches it national loving television! I can't fuckin g parse this! IT's like a loving British comedy sketch! These assholes give Hillary no end of grief, they crow about supporting those who died at Benghazi but are all too eager to trample across their graves when the time comes.
What kind of people would do this?? Who could possibly be so completely devoid of morals, so drained of every ounce of humanity that they would think this is a good idea?

Like you know EVE online? It's an online game where goons caused no end of grief. It's a game where people lie to each other, cheat each other, steal from each other, destroy each other and humiliate each other. And yet when Vilerat died, all the players came together and did this: http://www.pcgamesn.com/eve/how-eve-remembers



These people are literally worse, more morally depraved than EVE online players.

Maybe that's my mistake, maybe they're not people! Maybe they're animals!

NO Animals have more sense than this! Animals wouldn't do this to one of their own! They're

a type of fungus. A loving self-replicating, parasitic goddamn fungus. A goddamn Cordyceps must have gained sentience and taken over a human host and decided this was a good fuckign idea.

That's the only explanation I got for how anyone could possibly conceive this

Eh the Republicans have been saying stuff about how whites created civilization for a while, no one will dare call them out on it.

I just think it's funny that King said it on the night the campaign couldn't resist stealing ideas from a black woman.

No poo poo, but the RNC has stepped in a bit, this isn't even incompetence, more gross negligence or willfull mayhem.

Also, probably covered wayyyy back, but I was surprised by the almost reverse-ratfucking. Priebus must have had some come to Jesus meeting with all the other fuckheads and faced the inevitable. Can't believe they went out of their way to piss off and humilate the never trump wing of the party on prime time television.
