TALKING POINTS

There has been a lot of focus on alleged plagiarism by the Trump family at the RNC convention.  All of these charges are accurate.  However, the main stream media, once again, missed the forest for the trees.  Anyone who has ever watched a Democrat or a liberal interview soon realizes that they stopped answering questions years ago.  Liberals just repeat the same talking points over and over again. The following article from Forbes, intended to hurt the Trumps, just makes my point:

Forget the fact that this is a typical liberal commentary who assumes truth can only defined as making the same assumptions as liberals.  He is right about what has happened. Trump is beating Democrats at their own game.  He is fighting talking points with talking points.  Now that he has won the nomination, he has changed strategy slightly.  He now adds in Democratic talking points.  This is driving the media crazy.  How dare anyone other than a liberal Democrat repeat the same nonsense and expect people to take them seriously.  When a liberal Democrat talks about racial equality, the main stream media thunders approval.  When a Republican talks about racial equality the main stream media responds with cynicism and distain.

Trump is a formidable actor in the theater of the absurd. He is a celebrity who knows how to play the game.  He crafted his skill on Celebrity Apprentice.  Donald knows how to work a room.  He is the master at the grand entrance.  When filming Celebrity Apprentice, cameras are always positioned so that Donald looks significantly larger than anyone else in the room.  The chairs on his side of the room are always higher than the chairs on the other side. His chair is always higher than everyone else.  It is always a mismatch which ends with Donald firing someone.  If someone is actually paying attention, Donald frequently fires the wrong person. That doesn’t matter to Donald.  What matters is putting on a good show and pumping up ratings.  He is a master at that.

Donald is going to use more and more Democratic talking points and it is going to drive them crazy.  How are they to distinguish between campaigns when they are both using the same tired and ineffective liberal clichés?  So far, they have resorted to calling this plagiarism, but that would be like saying God Bless America is plagiarism.  Yes, Donald is stealing lines from Democrats.  Yes it is noticeable.  So noticeable that one must ask the main stream media a simple question.  You guys just figured this out?
