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.

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

  "

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?”

As someone else already said on the thread, Trump is a master of media manipulation. 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.

I'd certainly avoid rubbish like "Yes we can" and "Change you can believe in". And I imagine Trump will as well.

But I could see him saying "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country".

Oooooh. Now that would be interesting. Well quoted.

They do write some of their speeches. They also pick their speech writers. Melania did both poorly.

Here is my bit of plagiarism (I wonder how many will be able to place the original), I think it is quite appropriate for Trump. :

THE proof of the endowment of a true artist is always to be found in the fact that his work of art expresses the general will of a period. Perhaps that is most clearly shown in architecture.... The religious mystical world of the Christian Middle Ages, turning inwards upon itself, found forms of expression which were possible only for that world - for that world alone could they be of service. A Gothic stadium is as unthinkable as a Romanesque railway station or a Byzantine market hall. The way in which the artist of the Middle Ages, of the beginnings of the modern world, found the artistic solution for the buildings which he was commissioned to create is in the highest degree striking and admirable. That way, however, is no evidence that the conception of the content of life held by the folk of his day was in itself either absolutely right or absolutely wrong; it is evidence only that works of art have rightly mirrored the inner mind of a past age. It is therefore quite comprehensible that insofar as the attempt is made to carry on the life of that past age, those who search for solutions of artistic problems can still seek and find there fruitful suggestions. Thus one can easily imagine that, for instance, in the sphere of religion men will always work backwards to the form-language of a period in which Christianity in its view of the world appeared to meet every need. On the other hand, at the present moment the expression of a new view of the world which is determined by the conception of race will return to those ages which in the past have already possessed a similar freedom of the spirit, of the will, and of the mind. Thus, naturally, the manifestation in art of an American conception of the State will not be possible through civilizations, as, for example, the civilization of the Far East, which - because foreign to us - have no message for our day, but will rather be influenced in a thousand ways through the evidences and memories of that mighty imperial Power of antiquity which, although in fact destroyed fifteen hundred years ago, still as an ideal force lives on and works on in the imaginations of men. The more nearly the modern State approaches to the imperial idea of the ancient World-Power, so more and more will the general character of that civilization be manifested in its influence upon the formation of the style of our own day.

The Tea Party is not a cult-movement - a movement for worship; it is exclusively a volk political doctrine based upon racial Republican principles. In its purpose there is no mystic cult, only the care and leadership of a people defined by a common blood-relationship. Therefore we have no rooms for worship, but only halls for the people - no open spaces for worship, but spaces for assemblies and parades. We have no religious retreats, but arenas for sports and playing-fields, and the characteristic feature of our places of assembly is not the mystical gloom of a cathedral, but the brightness and light of a room or hall which combines beauty with fitness for its purpose. In these halls no acts of worship are celebrated, they are exclusively devoted to gatherings of the people of the kind which we have come to know in the course of our long struggle; to such gatherings we have become accustomed and we wish to maintain them. We will not allow mystically-minded occult folk with a passion for exploring the secrets of the world beyond to steal into our Movement. Such folk are not good Americans, but something else - in any case, something which has nothing to do with us. At the head of our program there stand no secret surmisings but clear-cut perception and straightforward profession of belief. But since we set as the central point of this perception and of this profession of belief the maintenance and hence the security for the future of a being formed by God, we thus serve the maintenance of a divine work and fulfill a divine will - not in the secret twilight of a new house of worship, but openly before the face of the Lord.

There were times when a half-light was the necessary condition for the effectiveness of certain teachings: we live in an age when light is for us the fundamental condition of successful action. It will be a sorry day when through the stealing in of obscure mystic elements the Movement or the State itself issues obscure commissions.... It is even dangerous to issue any commission for a so-called place of worship, for with the building will arise the necessity for thinking out so-called religious recreations or religious rites, which have nothing to do with Republicanism. Our worship is exclusively the cultivation of the natural, and for that reason, because natural, therefore God-willed. Our humility is the unconditional submission before the divine laws of existence so far as they are known to us men: it is to these we pay our respect. Our commandment is the courageous fulfillment of the duties arising from those laws. But for religious rites we are not the authorities, but the churches! If anyone should believe that these tasks of ours are not enough for him, that they do not correspond with his convictions, then it is for him to prove that God desires to use him to change things for the better. In no event can Republicanism or the State give to American art other tasks than those which accord with our view of the world.

The only sphere in which the Comunist, Socialist international newspapers still today think that they can attack the new American is the cultural sphere. Here they attempt, by a constant appeal to the sentimentality - untroubled by any sort of knowledge - of the world-citizens of democracy to bewail the downfall of American culture: in other words, they lament the commercial closing-down of those elements which, as the heralds and exponents of the November Republic, forced their cultural characteristics, as unnatural as they were deplorable, upon the period between the two Empires; and which have now played out their role for good and all....

Fortunately, however, despite the short time which the Trump Republican leadership has been able to allot to works of culture, positive facts, here too, speak louder than any negative criticism. We Americans can today speak with justice of a new awakening of our cultural life, which finds its confirmation not in mutual compliments and literary phrases, but rather in positive evidences of cultural creative force. American architecture, sculpture, painting, drama, and the rest bring today documentary proof of a creative period in art, which for richness and impetuosity has rarely been matched in the course of human history. And although the Establishment press magnates in their effrontery even today seek brazenly to turn these facts upside down, we know that the cultural achievements of America will in a few years have won from the world respect and appreciation far more unstinted even than that which they now accord to our work in the material field. The buildings which are arising in the Reich today will speak a language that endures, a language, above all, more compelling than the commi gabblings of the democratic, international judges of our culture. What the fingers of these poor wretches have penned or are penning the world will - perhaps unfortunately - forget, as it has forgotten so much else. But the gigantic works of the USA are a token of its cultural renascence and shall one day belong to the inalienable cultural heritage of the Western world, just as the great cultural achievements of this world in the past belong to us today.

Moreover, it is naturally not decisive what attitude, if any, foreign peoples take toward our works of culture, for we have no doubt that cultural creative work, since it is the most sensitive expression of a talent conditioned by blood, cannot be understood, far less appreciated, by individuals or races who are not of the same or related blood. Therefore we do not trouble in any way to make American art and culture suit the tastes of international comunism....

The art of Greece is not merely a formal reproduction of the Greek mode of life, of the landscapes and inhabitants of Greece; no, it is a proclamation of the Greek body and of the essential Greek spirit. It does not make propaganda for an individual work, for the subject, or for the artist; it makes propaganda for the Greek world as such, which confronts us in Hellenism....

And so art today will in the same way announce and herald that common mental attitude, that common view of life, which governs the present age. It will do this not because this age entrusts commissions to artists, but because the execution of these commissions can meet with understanding only if it reveals in itself the true essence of the spirit of this age. The mysticism of Christianity, at the period of its greatest intensity, demanded for the buildings which it ordered an architectonic form which not only did not contradict the spirit of the age, but rather helped it to attain that mysterious gloom which made men the more ready to submit to renunciation of self. The growing protest against this crushing of the freedom of the soul and of the will, which had lasted for centuries, immediately opened the way to new forms of expression in artistic creation. The mystic narrowness and gloom of the cathedrals began to recede and, to match the free life of the spirit, buildings became spacious and flooded with light. Mystical twilight gave way before increasing brightness. The unsteady, groping transition of the nineteenth century led finally in our days to that crisis which in one way or another had to find its solution...

True. But I do think it was an objectively bad speech. I wasn't enamoured of Michelle Obama's speech either, but at least it was hers.

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.

And still no one noticed that I shamelessly copied one of Hitlers Nuremberg speeches (changing National Socialist for Republican and Germany/ Third Rich for American/USA)...

Personally I think the 2 men have much in common, and the question is will the American people be taken in in the same way the Germans were in 1933?

You don't believe for one millisecond do you that either Mchll or Melanoma wrote a single word of either speech ?

They do write some of their speeches. They also pick their speech writers. Melania did both poorly.

Not that you're biased

True. But I do think it was an objectively bad speech. I wasn't enamoured of Michelle Obama's speech either, but at least it was hers."

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. A lot like season 6 of Game of Thrones.

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?

In her defence it was a pretty generic 'feel good' speech in the first place! Most political speeches sound the same to me anyway.

But to answer the question I'd go with soke Robin Williams quotes! His political comments put me in stiches

Oh now there's a new thread we could do which politician is which g.o.t character

Merkel: Marjorie Tyrell, elder states woman but don't cross her you'll get poisoned

Clinton: serve no real right to power but she will do anything to get it

May: sans happy to play the long game

Putin: stands he's probably got his own red witch

Oh I could go on
