19. My guess is it was a hot mess
Tue Jul 19, 2016, 10:55 AM
Jul 2016

like much of the rest of the campaign being done on the fly.

A bunch of ideas and piece of speeches were gathered together.

She probably picked out some she liked for the speechwriter to put into some organized form.

He thought that piece was something she wrote rather than something she liked.

It was thrown together so fast, no one really copy-edited it, much less Melania who had more important things to do.

Like much of the Trump campaign I think it was just a throw together mess.
