http://dailycaller.com/2016/03/16/trump-appears-to-have-heavily-plagiarized-op-ed-from-carson/"An op-ed penned this month by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and published online appears to be blatantly plagiarized from an article written days earlier under former rival Ben Carsons name, The Daily Caller has determined.
The similar op-eds were written on the topic of Americas territories and commonwealths.
Both pieces appear under the by-lines of the candidates. Carsons piece, published Feb. 26, was published in the Marianas Variety in the Northern Mariana Islands.
Trumps op-ed published in the Pacific Daily News in Guam, part of the USA Today Network was published 12 days later on March 9."

They'll punch you in the face, if you you are a plagarist!
They don't know what the word means, but they think you're a Ferner from Plaga!

Ben Carson Thinks He Has a Shot of Being Donald Trump's Running Mate
He claims the two discussed a role for him in a Trump administration before he endorsed the front-runner.
Before agreeing to endorse Trump on Friday, Carson met privately with the front-runner. In an interview with NewsMax on Monday, Carson said his sit-down with Trump had included discussion of a role for the former neurosurgeon in a Trump administration.

Trump "will surround himself with very good people," Carson told NewsMax. Asked if he would be one of them, Carson replied, "I will be doing things as well certainly in an advisory capacity." Pressed on whether there had been concrete talk about a role for Carson in a Trump administration, Carson replied, "Yeah."
The Carson insider says Carson left his meeting with Trump believing he was well positioned for the veep slot on a Trump ticket. "He needs me more than I need him," Carson boasted to his top staff, according to the source, who noted that Carson would likely soon start a push to be Trump's vice presidential pick. Carson's campaign spokesman forwarded a request for comment to longtime Carson associate Armstrong Williams, who said he had no comment.http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/03/ben-carson-angling-to-be-trumps-veep
Never mind that, if above is true, it is illegal. We since passed any caring about legal, it seems.

Ben Carson choosing to believe it is willful ignorance.

It used complete sentences and use of the words "failure", "dummy", "loser" and "win" were noticeably absent.
