"If you were in the US and speaking at the Republican Convention, whose speech would you plagiarize? Melania Trump didn't show much creativity when she plagiarized Michelle Obama. I'm thinking JFK or Lincoln would be too predictable. I think I'd go with a comedian - Chris Rock, maybe? " Donald Trump's previous involvement with the wrestling industry certainly showed with his grand entrance. Did you see it? I wonder if Vince McMahon had any input into that? Was like something from WrestleMania. | |||

"the speech was no mistake they are playing the media. look at the coverage it got." Whatever. I'm not debating Trump's strategy. I'm asking who you would choose to plagiarize | |||
"I'd go for Bill Hick's "It's Just A Ride" speech. I love it. Not sure what the Republican Convention would make of it though... The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace." Congratulations Howard, you just lost the Republicans the Presidency, the Supreme Court, and may be even the Senate. Take money from weapons and defence and use it to feed and educate the poor?!? Fucking socialist. Even Bernie never went quite that far | |||

"Congratulations Howard, you just lost the Republicans the Presidency, the Supreme Court, and may be even the Senate. Take money from weapons and defence and use it to feed and educate the poor?!? Fucking socialist. Even Bernie never went quite that far " It got me thinking though. Why don't politicians ever speak like this, just a little bit? Anyway, I was initially going to go with this gem. I thought it may be more up Trump's street... “God has turned his back on this nation. The same god who creates the diseases and the plagues, also creates the medicines and the cures. Gods, being invulnerable, they cannot have nobility. They do not know self-sacrifice. God does not suffer, he doesn’t feel pain. He is not a courageous god. Human beings can be courageous or cowardly. Neither of these make up any of God’s nature. The gods don't determine outcome. They control passions. That's how they get people to do their bidding. Man has the mind of God, but the body of dust. All humankind is a slave race and was meant to be from the beginning. Will man destroy the earth to move on? Is that his destiny? We'll wait to find out. What nourishes gods? The smell of fear. The gods get fat on fear. Man was left on his own but that is not the end of it. Ask yourselves a question people, are you humble before God? Do you not believe in many gods? Or do you not believe in the one true God? Do you believe that god created the slave race? Ezekiel saw the wheel, but what kind of wheel? The cigar-shaped hubcap thing from the sky? Are these the gods that created mankind? Was he imagining that? Let me ask you another question, people, how many think that god and the devil are the same? Amen. People, there are many gods. It is written in the Bible that there are many gods. Does the Bible lie? The earth was here long before these gods were. It's written in the Psalms, King David, "Ye are gods". These gods left before the Bible was written. God did not create the earth. It was God created the people. Would you swear on the Bible? I’d swear on the Bible. A book of treachery, murder and genocide. Of course I’d swear on that. Put it down right now! And I’ll tell you why...they ask God to sacrifice his son. Sacrifice? It's completely absurd and I'll tell you why. The Christians are relinquishing nine-tenths of the world to the devil. The false Christianity you subscribe to is nothing more than the cult of the virgin. People, it’s time to evaluate and reflect on your lives. God has turned his back on this nation. Think about it. What did Martin Luther King get out of the whole thing? A boulevard?” | |||

You may call the entrance 'style over substance' but it got plenty of media coverage and it played right into Trumps hands as that is exactly what he wants. | |||

"It seems to be a convention where people are saying all sorts. I'm watching Newsnight discussing Cruz not endorsing Trump and the views on that." That is how conventions always go. The most interesting part of the conventions is usually what the protesters are doing on the outside, not what the politicians are doing on the inside Although Cruz not endorsing was very interesting. He is pretty slimy, though, so I have to think he has a bigger plan. | |||

I do agree in this case! But objectively speaking, and if you read transcripts of them, I think 99% of Obama's speeches have zero substance and are simply delivered well.
