Why most Trump supporters don't care about Melania's plagiarism

Most Trump supporters:
1) Do not know what the word "Plagiarism" means and when seen in print have no idea how to say it.

2) If they do what it means, think it's no big deal because they did it when in school and cannot understand why anyone else should care.

Disclosure: I :"plagiarized" these words from a post I saw on another site and decided to share it here.

Darrell (Issa), Jason (Chaffetz) and Trey (Gowdy) would be all over it.

2. Plagiarism is a hard word, and probably of foreign origins, also too as well.

Why should REAL Americans™ even know that word? Only pinko liberals and collige graduits would ever use it in a sentence.

Followed by renaming all US place names with a Spanish or foreign language origin.

Los Angeles will now be known as Bigtown, CA.
San Francisco will be Bay City, CA
San Antonio will be renamed to Saint Anthony, TX
The Grand Tetons will become the Big Boobs Mountains.

You get the idea. It's the Republican way.

Plagiarism is theft of intellectual property. Republicans don't respect your intellectual property. If it's not theirs, screw you.

9. So what if his supporters don't care. They will support him no matter what

Why it does matter is that it detracts from the Convention because the MSM end up focusing more on the plagiarism than the Donald. And people are starting to dig into Melania's background. It doesn't help to win over the main stream voters which is necessary to win in November.

That's how come they don't give a rat's patoot about Melanoma's stealing from Michelle Obama. They'll follow tRump to the 9th circle of Hell.
