The really telling thing is that this incompetent campaign couldn't get through the first day and night of the convention without it blowing up in their faces.Get ready, it's all downhill from here.
I'm not going to blame Melania Trump for the speech someone gave to her.She's used to leftovers anyway.
No I am not. Gave a compliment that 10% constructive criticism and it was deleted. Same comments on this thread stood.Am ok with that. More interested in having something focus group here to understand how Trump might fare in the fall, particularly with the key demographic of women.Looks like we have a vocal minority of fawners and majority of folks who are put off by Melania by either envy or disdain.
HEADS UP!Guys, I'm creating the ALTERNATIVE LIVE CONVENTION THREAD - TUESDAY, JULY 19. This one will remain open, but I'd prefer we put new stuff that is surely coming down on Cribgate on that thread. See you over there.
No need for making a mark. What's a little plagiarism between buddies, right? I'm sure Melania did not write her own speech, no one would write their own speech and think they can get away with plagiarizing a high profile speech like that. Think about the possible scenarios for how this came to be though. Really, this is a screw up, just no Melania's screw up, unless she's the one that hired that person to write the speech for her, but I doubt that. I'm betting they just didn't do enough vetting to figure out that the person(s) they hired to write the speech hated them. So much for hiring the best people, amiright?!
I don't have any real opinions on Melania.I think we'll be lucky to hold the house in November.
None of that will be touched at dem convention. Trying to give honest assessment as a Trump realist. ( both pro and con). Not possible on the other thread .
I would also note that Ivanka who also had brief stint as a “model” also posed for some rather provocative and sexy photos for some men’s magazines like Stuff and Maxim. I guess that was before she converted to “Orthodox” Judaism.
But - as someone pointed out earlier: In matters of taste, there can be no disputes.
Oh my. That is going to leave a mark.
~ Why would the campaign do something so blatant as this? What is the purpose?
When it comes to Ivanka, I'm actually surprised how she has remained *relatively* classy in her magazine photo shoots compared to other really beautiful women. She comes off more Taylor Swift-ish than Rhianna-ish.So, she has been sexy, but not full-on trashy.But - as someone pointed out earlier: In matters of taste, there can be no disputes.
@RoosGirl @AbaraXas I honestly don't think Melania is to blame. At this point, I'm torn as to whether Trump is trying to throw his campaign, or if it's just more of his "best people" hires.
I'm going with the former.
The LIVE Convention thread has been locked down by one of the site owners and heavily censored with mass post deletions. It's a pro-Trump only echo chamber thread. This one is the true live thread.
On the citizens for trump page, the spin they are going with is she was honoring Michelle and other first ladies by incorporating their themes. Not kidding.
Whatever spin they could possibly think of it shows once again incompetence. He just threw his wife to the wolves. Wonder if the children have the same speech writer? And whether he is trying to throw his own election so that Hillary can win. Quite possible. There are several issues that he and Pence disagree on. One is his staple claim not to have supported Iraq invasion. Pence caving on religious rights. Liberal news has Pence also denying that women can serve in the military in any form. That's crazy. Liberal news last night. Have not confirmed. If that is true I would have to wonder about his competency.
Sink, do you mind if I lock this one so everyone can transition to today's thread?
