Melania's speechwriter screwed up the one "freebie" of the Trump campaign.

The spouse's speech on the opening night of the convention is a "freebie" - do a passable job of highlighting the positives of the candidate and there will be at least a small positive bounce. That goes down the tubes with even Priebus saying he would probably fire that speechwriter who apparently lifted parts of the speech almost verbatim from a 2008 Michelle Obama speech. And oh my, now Manafort is saying Melania added the Obama lines????? Well Trump has fired two wives already, can this marriage be saved?
