Since I'm boycotting the Trump Convention, I only this morning learned about Melania Trump's plagiarism of a Michelle Obama speech.

Who knew when the Donald said that he knows the best words that he was referring to Barry and Michelle Obama's past speeches?
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 19, 2016

It's understandable why Melania Trump, about to deliver a major speech, might want to look at what other First Ladies have said in the past.

As a professor I caught more students plagiarizing than anyone else I knew. No doubt here, just modest attempts to paraphrase. GUILTY.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 19, 2016

The evidence of Melania's plagiarism is compelling. They figured what Republican has listened to Michelle speak? https://t.co/R283FEhmCs

#FamousMelaniaTrumpQuotes The only thing we have to fear is Hillary Clinton herself.

#FamousMelaniaTrumpQuotes Ask not what the Donald can do for you; ask what you can do for Trump.

#FamousMelaniaTrumpQuotes Believing in Trump is one small step for me, one giant leap for mankind.

To make America work again, you have to lower the government burden on businesses: taxes and regulations. You need to stop moral hazard.

Brooks' piece on Trump being even Trumpier is an interesting read. Trump is so patently narcissistic, one has to be blind not to notice it.

I've never been a fan of the resume for seeking POTUS. Dem retards think a 2-term senator/1-term Secretary of State is highly qualified.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 19, 2016

Trump, who has never so much as managed a snowstorm crisis in NYC, thinks that he's qualified to run an enterprise vastly more complicated.

Don't hype Hillary Clinton to me. She lost to a 1-term motivational speaker in 2008 and nearly lost this year to an obscure socialist gadfly

So sorry to see someone I respect , Tom Coburn, go to the dark side:Trump. Trump is unprincipled; he changes positions as often as underwear
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 19, 2016

What we need is a real libertarian running for POTUS. I would tell you no one person can manage this unsustainable house of cards in DC.

I trust in the invisible hand, as over 320M Americans pursue their interests and thus heal an economy broken by politicians and bureaucrats.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 19, 2016

To be honest, there are a few conspiracy nutjobs in the libertarian wing of the political spectrum, e.g., global trade pacts. Consumers win.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 19, 2016

The people who protest trade, like Trump, are economically ignorant and corruptly protect the rights of inefficient producers vs. consumers.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 19, 2016

The TRUE populist position is to advance the interests of the consumer which means more competition for the consumer dollar, including trade

I don't get this Ailes kerfuffle and the idea that FNC "talent" may go with them. Where? To the Trump News Channel? I almost never watch FNC
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 19, 2016

What would you do if your kid acted like Trump? Send him to a military school, like Fred? A lot of good that did.Why would you vote for him?

#RNCRockAnthems Melania Trump sings "I Write the Songs"
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 20, 2016

@FoxNews @DonaldJTrumpJr It would be my honor to throw Donald Trump over the top of any high building in NY #sarcasm
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 19, 2016

@metwying Hell no. Clinton is containable evil. Trump is a wildcard fascist who is unconstrained by the Constitution and settled law.
— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) July 19, 2016

@jason_howerton #NeverTrump means NEVER TRUMP. It was never a GOP faction, but bipartisan in nature. I left the GOP over the Trump heresy.
