So help me Manafort just blamed Hillary.

[nolabear]

On MSNBC. He claimed Hillary was trying to take her down like she did Bill's paramours. It is a GALLFEST.

[tonyt53]

1. Well it HAS worked for the GOP blaming Obama for everything.

[glennward]

2. They just keep making themselves look really bad. nt

[KMOD]

3. Manafort is a sexist jerk.

He's cringe worthy.

[seabeyond]

4. Has Clinton even said anything? Ya, they use their women in a certain manner and that is what they

are trying to get here, in the discussion. Feminists ever talk about women's issue, men often will try to do the same with us, against other women.

But, did Clinton even say anything last night? I have not heard a comment from her. Really brazen blaming Clinton if there has not even been a peep.

[nolabear]

8. Only one comment that I think came from the campaign.

That Michelle's speechwriter used to be Hillary's, so basically they liked Hillary's speeches, or something like that. Very tongue in cheek.

If I were her I'd stay out of it. They're sinking that ship just fine on their own.

[seabeyond]

10. Ya, well, taking it to a joke was coolest enough too. Thanks. But agree, let them at it. Nt

[mindfulNJ]

17. I agree

The Clinton camp should stay mum as long as possible. This is a "please proceed" moment if there ever was one.

[Koinos]

9. I think if we hear anything about this mess, it will be from Hillary's VP choice.

[Botany]

5. Well after killing Vince Foster and Benghazi she still had to do more "evil stuff."

I get the feeling that Manafort days are #ed. Don's days might be #ed too.

[Koinos]

6. Well, it could have been even more devastating for team Trump.

They could have plagiarized from one of Hillary's speeches.

And the crowd would have likewise mindlessly applauded.

[nolabear]

11. See above. It was from one of Hillary's speech writers who worked for Michelle.

I mean, seriously, they are being plagued by imps or demons or something.

[Koinos]

18. The irony is delicious.

The problem is that the Trump campaign is amateur hour on steroids. He can't or won't pay for real professionals, so he lets his bumbling family cut their political teeth on this stuff.

[Her Sister]

7. Oh! This makes me so angry!

Our nominee, really mostly minding her own business, letting the Republican fantastically self-destruct, and they still want to blame it on her!

[nolabear]

14. I think it's great. The more they say idiotic things the more chance people will say "Wait..."

[Retrograde]

12. Of course! She's the one with the time machine

that she lent to the Obamas so that Michelle could plagiarize Melania's speech (and then plant the fake birth certificate and newspaper notices).

[Her Sister]

16. Yes we need MO to provide proof she did not steal the speech from MT!

[yellowcanine]

13. What did he say? Is there a link? No way they can hang this on Clinton.

And I hope the Clinton team is smart enough to say "no comment" to any questions, except perhaps to say, "I thought it was a nice speech."

[nolabear]

15. Not yet. I saw it on MSNBC early. He's said it twice now.

[yellowcanine]

19. Okay - link here. Washington Examiner, sorry.

"There's no cribbing of Michelle Obama's speech," Trump's campaign manager Paul Manafort said on CNN Tuesday morning. "These were common words and values, and she cares about her family ... things like that."

"I mean, she was speaking in front of 35 million people last night, she knew that," he added. "To think that she would be cribbing Michelle Obama's words is crazy."

Manafort also blamed Democrats for trying to attack any woman who threatens Hillary Clinton.

"This is once again, an example of when a woman threatens Hillary Clinton, she seeks out to demean her and take her down," he said. "It's not going to work."

Democrats rejected the idea that they had anything to do with it, and said it's up to the Trump campaign to explain how the speech so closely mirrored Michelle Obama's.

20. Thanks! What would I do without the nimble fingers of DUers?

[Snotcicles]

21. They have figured out that if you get in trouble in a discussion , to say "Hillary",

it automatically shuts the Republican brain off.

[C_U_L8R]

22. And here I thought the Clenis was charged with phenomenal superpowers

Hillary's packing some amazing stuff that makes
Republicans absolutely lose their minds.
It's hilarious.
