Hillary Clinton Quote: “this country belongs to all of us, not just those at the top.”
Bernie Sanders Quote made before the Hillary Quote: "This country belongs to all of us, not just the billionaire class."
Bernie would frequently say "it might not be a popular thing to say as a presidential candidate." Hillary liked what Bernie said so much she was using it frequently with never an attribution to Bernie.
When Bernie was on Meet the Press he said "“We’re looking into the copyright issues here, those are our words.” Bernie said in reference to Hillary's victory speech after winning Nevada, where she plagiarized verbatim, Bernie's talking points on Wall Street reform.
In fact, her blatant plagiarism of Bernie Sanders was so egregious that there is a a Twitter account dedicated to Hillary's plagiarism entitled #StealTheBern

Trump's campaign is a disaster (is that plagiarized?!?)
They do not hire accomplished staff to work the campaign or the convention, and cribbing an Obama speech is just another example.
Chachi from 'Joanie Loves Chachi' is the featured speaker? Open revolt on the floor at the beginning of the day?
Trump is completely unqualified to be in the White House (is that also plagiarized?!?)
re: Melania and her cheating on a speech about hard work and dignity - it just shows the ethics problems with Trump. Melania telling us Trump is in it for the little guy is absurd - just look at the dozens of examples of Trump ripping off the little guy (Trump university, not paying his vendors, hiring illegal workers for Trump casinos, etc..)
Melania photos found! (made ya look! is that also plagiarized?!?)

Gotta love the wingnuts -- not only are they unable to come up with their own material, they also show they hate everyone except for white guys with awful hairpieces.

8 GOP investigations, and they admit they found nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. Then the GOP politicos go hunting for votes from their base by hinting in the right wing echo chamber in various codes and dogwhistles, and then the "low information" (love that phrase) conspirators think they KNOW what REALLY happened.
Yet the wingnuts somehow magically believe Secretary Clinton somehow belongs in jail without a shred of, you know, evidence.
How embarrassing. I can imagine the looks on normal folk's faces when they have to listen to some wingnut rant. The look that says: "it'll be okay, just relax (and how do I get away from this crazy conspiracy theorist!)"
So sad.
Meanwhile, the Trump campaign attacks the Obama's, and then steals an Obama speech about hard work and dignity. Can't even make this stuff up!
A big thanks to the "low information" conspirators for the White House and the senate. If Trump flails any more, then the unthinkable is on the table.
The House. Speaker Pelosi!
THANKS!!!!

Trump Junior steals paragraphs for his speech last night
"Our schools used to be an elevator to the middle class. Now they are stalled on the ground floor. They're like Soviet-era department stores that are run for the benefit of the clerks and not the customers.”
Published in a May column:
What should be an elevator to the upper class is stalled on the ground floor. [...] Our schools and universities are like the old Soviet department stores whose mission was to serve the interests of the sales clerks and not the customers.
1. What is a 38 year old doing talking about the Soviet Union? He was 13 when it went away.
2. Really - after the Melania disaster exposes how screwed up the Trump campaign is, they didn't go over the speech with a fine tooth comb?
The Trump's are just trolling America, looking for ratings and playing a con.
