Martial law.  I actually started to write a post about that and decided better... You should have. Hell, I make fun of myself just so others can be left alone........... I mean really, as an officially nominated PITA, do you really think I'm that sensitive? I think it's way past the nominating phase.  Presumptive Nominee? Nah, I think you are well on your way to the presidency of PITA's.  While I did not seek the position, there appears to have been a void. Now, back to your regularly scheduled convention coverage.  |

Ironic that the turmoil was caused by republicans making a last ditch effort to dump Trump. Also appears Mrs. Trump plagiarized portions of her speach tonight, ironically (again)from Mrs. Obama's 2008 speach at the democratic convention.
Trump appearing on stage coming out of a fog bank? Classy!

Oh man ! I went to bed last night thinking Melania did a good job on the speech. Only to wake up and see that part of it was lifted from another speech. And the irony is just too much. It was from Michelle Obama's speech.  They couldn't plagiarize from a Republicans speech ? |

Seriously? This is something of concern?  Similar phrases spoken by every candidate's spouse in every election since coverage started. All (well that may not be true) attempting to show loving, loyal family men with hope and dreams for the future. I honestly don't know where the speech came from and really don't care. As with every other President's spouse that has ever given such a speech, it and she have absolutely no relevance to anything important except who she sleeps with. Being a President's spouse qualifies that person for little but WH tours. I'm surprised anyone was actually listening to what she said, I was distracted by........ Well, let's just leave it with distracted. I feel relatively certain someone will provide better ammunition at some point to shoot at Trump , save your energy for something with some significance. I just happen to notice how little coverage Mrs. Smith and her speech is getting from the Press. Interesting isn't it? |

You take my post as being anti Trump? My, we're a tad sensitive this morning aren't we? My comment was about her not Trump. Anything that gives Trump opponents a voice will be used loudly across the news media. |

I was constructing my post while your's was being posted. Had my post been directed at you, it would have been quoted. Edited: But, I can see how it could have been construed to be that. No, not intended toward you. If Mrs. Trump did borrow from Mrs. Obama, then Michelle should be flattered. |

Honestly, this surprises you? At this convention? Not to jump the gun for the Dem Party but, this was sent to me by one of my "friends". This surprises me: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/sanders-fans-plan-dnc-fart-protest-clinton-nomination-n611596Hopefully, it's a spoof. |

Well yeah I guess it does a little. I would not have expected a campaign manager and his staff to trash the nominees spouse. Even if she did write the speech herself I would expect that somebody would have proofread it. Nor would I think it wise of Manafort to say "She knew what she was doing". I think we might be seeing the second firing of a campaign manager. |

...maybe that was the idea? Get her name out there and get more free publicity... People are talking about her speech this morning a LOT more because of this so-called controversy than they would have been without it. |

Does anyone really think that either wife wrote their speech?
If so I have a bridge for sale.

Same bridge still for sale.
I hope that violence takes a break, but suspect it will not.

The issue isn't so much that she did or did not write the speech herself but the fact that the organization is so inept and controlled that they don't check for things like this. A professionally run political organization vets for such things.

LOL! No, Ron, you are at worst a recurring irritation on the backside. There are at least a dozen examples who generate enough discomfort to inspire the thought of butt removal. You have a long way to go to make the journey from residency to the presidency. Don't we all? There has, by the way, never been a void in that category.  |

OK, well the Anti-Trump folks did their thing, my understanding is there will also be a Anti-Hilary protest when she is nominated at the Dem convention. Read something about the Sander's folks were planning a Bean feed about six hours prior to he nomination hoping the timing would work out for a major flatulence event during her acceptance speech. I have to admit, although it's an original idea, the whole process stinks. |

I haven't heard or read about that. Not real sure what that would accomplish or pretend to understand the goal. Didn't do much for Eastwood or the RNC. |
