I think the whole issue of “plagiarism” in campaign speeches is quite silly and stupid. Politicians borrow words and lines and themes from their friends, supporters and colleagues all the time.  This is best evidenced by the following:
Bill Clinton, 1992: “The hits that I took in this election are nothing compared to the hits the people of [...]

After ten consecutive Obama victories, it’s hard to see a scenario by which Hillary can come out ahead in the delegate count. Even if she were to win all of the remaining states, she would have to win them all by large margins in order to make up the deficit she faces.  Although nothing is impossible, and it’s [...]

Now that Super Tuesday is in the books, I want to get to a topic that’s been on my mind not only in this election campaign, but really for many years. What, exactly, is so compelling about Hillary Clinton? Frankly, I just don’t get it.  Never have, and probably never will.  This isn’t to say that I’m a [...]
