If I am not mistaken at least one of them was a speech writer for Ronald Reagan, right? It's not like they didn't know this wouldn't get caught. It just seems so obvious--like they were not even trying to cover their tracks.

I mean, it would appear more accidental if they went back 40-50 years ago and stole from a speech at another convention, or hell--stole from a speech from someone in a foreign country, or some female spouse of a male Congress member who was a back bencher. No, they specifically chose the most obvious person.

I can't shake the feeling that this was deliberate sabotage, and that they wanted to get caught. This was likely a giant middle finger to Donald Trump, his entire family, and his entire campaign.

My guess? Her speech was written earlier in house, because she needed to memorize it phonetically LeftyMom Jul 2016 #9

She said she wrote it herself so either she lied or she plagiarized nt doc03 Jul 2016 #10
