It's not just that they plagiarized Michelle Obama's speech; they plagiarize the section on honesty, character, and integrity.

Like how more than enough state delegates wanted to change rules so they could vote by raising hands. That's a bigger deal than 30 words in a speech that wasn't written by the person whoa on her third language.

Everyone knows the campaign is a mess. The Republican party isn't going to come out and condemn anything and picking on a potential first lady is crass and further disenfranchises the voter

Wright State University in Ohio has pulled out of hosting a Sept. 26 general election presidential debate. The debate will now be held at Hofstra University in New York.

The university is citing worries around costs and increased security.

"Today I requested that the Commission on Presidential Debates release Wright State University from our obligation to host the first Presidential debate on Sept. 26," President David Hopkins said in a news conference on Tuesday. "This has been a very difficult decision to make but I am confident that it is the right one for Wright State University at this point in time. Wright State has in a responsibility for the safety and well being of those on its campus and in the surrounding area. We all take this responsibility very seriously. Over the last few weeks we have had a growing concern over what it would take to guarantee the safety and security of our campus."

this is what i'm poorly alluding to. pick on the issue that its the campaign let this happen instead of a deluge of memes that has quotes attributed to Melania.


in the end it doesn't matter cause with Trump there is no such thing as bad publicity.
