The Republican National Convention is already a disaster for Donald Trump

The presidential hopeful is overseeing an out-of-control spectacle

CLEVELAND (MarketWatch) — Nobody outside of the media really cares if Melania Trump’s speech contains two anodyne sentences lifted from a speech by Michelle Obama.

But it speaks volumes that the Trump campaign couldn’t even put out this tiny fire for a day and a half.

At last, on Wednesday morning, the Trump people issued a statement by one of the speech-writing staff taking the blame for the error. Meredith McIver apologized for the mistake and her explanation, whether or not it is true, sounded reasonably plausible.

The only missing explanation was a claim that the dog had eaten Melania’s first draft of her speech.

1. We may see a negative bump

Trump's organization is a disaster.... as are his beliefs.

2. I'm thinking that this "convention" will go down as one of the worst ever

At least, in recent times.

I can't wait to read the retrospectives after this three-ring-circus (carnival?) is finally done with.

3. Can't wait for the Democrats' turn in Philly.

It's gonna be an inclusive love feast compared to the GOP's dumpster fire.

4. Me either!!!

It'll be run the way a serious, dignified convention should be run. (with inevitable gaffes, of course)

5. Does this McIver even exist?

There are questions. This is the same guy who made up a name the claimed to be his own public bust.

6. This may well be what the rnc 2016 is known for: plagiarism

Very cool!!
