2016 US Presidential Election Thread Part X

[Headache in a Suitcase]

The guy comes out to Queen at the Republican convention... Then his wife blatantly rips off Michelle Obama, AND Rick Astley?

Either some writers went rogue or this is just a continuance of the greatest performance art of our time.

I have expect Tony Clifton to come out Thursday evening.

I love the fact that the Trump campaign is already trying to deny the plagiarism.

I was struck how boring the whole thing was. There was some Congressman/Senator, I think McCaul last night, must have been the worst public speaker I've ever seen. Audience just about fell asleep. I thought the Donald was going to make this thing fun?

Capped off with plagiarized speech.
Beautiful night.

So, the official stance from the Trump campaign is to deny reality. Manafort says they are common words. Trump blames Hillary Clinton. You cannot make this stuff up.

There are no words. I was watching CNN's interview with the campaign manager this morning and the lead anchor just looked stunned.

Come on media.

We could just have Neil Hamburger do a live version of one of his Red Eye appearances and get the same thing.

Exactly.
This is the same guy that, when Chris Cuomo read his verbatim quote back to him about what he had said about Gov. Kasich, he denied he said it.
It's absolutely crazy.
And it's exactly what the base of the party revels in.
That whole show last night, was like an alternate universe, where black people are the reason for racism, and the man with not ONE articulated plan to actually DO anything is lauded as the savior of the country.

This is what the right has been brewing up for decades.

Everytime I think about what the right has done I think about this movie:

on a more serious note, does anyone think she was sabotaged? seriously. from the lifting of Michelle O's speech to the Rick Roll, it feels like a speechwriter was filling it with easily meme-able moments the internet would devour for a few days.

I think so. It's just too blatant.

A Cruz supporter could have been one of the writers

There's only two options;

Somebody went rogue on the writing team and purposefully made her look stupid, or this campaign is, and always has been, a performance piece that's gone too far (and that they are consistently trying to self sabatoge, yet somehow find themselves even deeper trenched with each faux pas)

I honestly don't know which is more reasonable

As we all know, deep is THE arbiter of truth around here.

Your act is getting stale, deep.

Actually, BVS is the arbiter of truth.

'stale' because he has a different view of the political paradigm?

Or maybe it was orchestrated by the Trump campaign -- distract all of us effete liberals talking about something eggheaded like plagiarism while the convention continues its march into white nationalist fascism, complete with calls to resume and ramp up the Cheney-era torture program and to throw the opposition in jail.

Perhaps President Trump will personally waterboard Mrs Clinton over those emails?
