Haven't seen much msn coverage of this hut did anyone hear about the failed airstrike in Syria that killed 85 civilians mistaking them for isis fighters? :x :x :x 
Ib4 "collateral damage"
This brings up another good opportunity to discuss the guidelines/distinctions or lack thereof in the rules of engagement when labelling people "enemy combatants"

This is remarkable. The Trump campaign could've buried the story about Melania's plagiarism within an hour on Monday by simply acknowledging a mistake had been made and promising to investigate who was responsible. Instead, as they continue to deny the story, it has turned into a whodunit tale that has surpasses "The Night Of" and "Serial" as the biggest mystery of 2016. Rather than go away after a day, this news story is the top headline nationally 2 days later.
CNN and NY Times both have good articles trying to track down what happened. Here's the NYT version:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/20/us/politics/melania-trump-convention-speech.html
Also, the NYT article references something that happened over a year ago that I hadn't known about, where Trump photoshopped himself with WWII SS troops: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/07/donald-trump-campaign-ad-nazi-soldiers

It's still publicity for the campaign

The plagarism is ridiculously dumb but it's just overblown by now. Joe Biden has been caught plagiarizing numerous times and nobody cared. There are many better reasons for people to be against Trump and the media just looks petty at this point imo. Work on a real story.
The person supposedly responsible came forward.

It cost him his 1988 Presidential campaign.
I know you're embarrassed to be a Republican right now, but trying to play the "both sides" card isn't going to work.

The Trump have called these claims lies, and just released Melania's college graduation picture as proof.

Biden's mistakes have cost him dearly in the past.
And it was not the jacking of lines, it was the outright lies about it. And the GOP insulting Michelle Obama, playing up the anger black woman by to promote Melania
That all added to the blow back.

I've never voted republican before. 2012 straight down the line democrat.
Nobody cared for long is a better way to put it. He got past it. I'm embarrased for the media. It would be nice for them to dive into the clinton foundation and uranium deal and private server with such ambition.
I totally agree that the campaign should have come out and ate crow. But watching hillary deny and deny and send out james carvelle to scream "look over there"... i see why they went that route. The whole thing is just stupid. His campaign is a scary joke.
I still think Biden could have won

I just read that, SMH.
Dude wants to use the office to promote his brand. Nothing he says can be trusted.
Yet, his supporters delude themselves about how great he is going to be.

I just don't understand Trump supporters man.
Are they just entirely naive and ignorant? For lack of a more respectful term, are they just unintelligent? The intellectual dregs of American Society?
Or are they predominantly racists who identify with Trumps bigotry and hate speech?
Only two hypotheses that make sense honestly. They certainly don't support him because of his policy.

I honestly don't think Trump would have as strong of a following if he was running against a white man in November. Him running against scumbag Hill definitely adds to his appeal because he's a white man in a country built for white men by white men

In 1988?
Doubt it, not with Jesse Jackson and Gore running. No way to angle round Duakakis

No i meant now, 2016. I think he could have won if he went after Hillary and had Obama's backing.
While i freely admit that i vastly underestimated the importance of racists/bigots embracing trump, i still think it's more about the state of this country as a whole.
Jobs are disappearing that will never come back due to technology and outsourcing. People are mad and desperate and ignored. I think a large part of it is also their way of "getting back" at the elite the only way they can. (Similar to brexit)

So the whole speech about building a wall, kicking people out, calling them murderers and rapist didn't tip you off? What about his stance on banning Muslims?

I think he harped on things that a segment of the population feels nothing is being done about. Then he went to the next level of offensiveness so that the media would pick up on it and give him attention.
Neither democrats or republicans want to stop illegal immigration. Period. Then trump comes and people listen.
Obama comes off across as indifferent at best when it comes it islamic extremism. I think it's safe to say that he feels the threat is exaggerated if not imaginary. Every time there is an attack he lectures americans about islam being a peaceful religion and tells people about the christian crusades and to get off their high horse. Downplays it all the time. Won't even name it. Calls it workplace violence.
Well then trump comes along and seems to actually want to fight it even if it's with an idea that isn't even possible. But it's something. He appears strong according to his supporters. And messed up enough that the media gives him attention.
Trump didn't come out of a void. You didn't even mention illegal immigration when talking about getting rid of people. The media does the same and people are pissed off. It's not hard to see why someone desperate and in idgaf mode goes to him
He was talking about trade deals ALOT. Many people on the left hate NAFTA and TPP too.
I'm living just fine. Status quo is fine for me. Hillary represents that.
