19. I'm even more convinced now that they found a Rick Roll in the speech.

Whomever wrote the speech literally had her mouth the words, "He will never, ever, give up. And most importantly, he will never, ever, let you down."

That is just openly mocking Donald Trump.

Vox Story

People need to remember that the Republican Party is famous for its dirty politics. Doing this to a candidates wife in such a public way is hugely dirty.

Think about all the people inside the Republican establishment that he has insulted and humiliated. Think about the people they've had to bring in to work on his campaign who almost certainly had affection toward some of those people. The humiliation of the Bush family, the insults against John McCain, and all the others. Hell, even the open public shaming of Chris Christy.

Literally, there are so many people who could be gunning for Donald Trump... whose to say that this was one rogue operative? There is a group of Republicans out there right now who are positively gleeful that this happened, whether or not they had anything to do with it. They knew this would be the major story heading out of the first day.

We have to believe that right now every other speech written has to be suspect.
