Who wants to bet it was one of the Trump kids?

We all know that they are trying to run as much of the campaign as possible...and it's quite likely that they plagiarized their way through college, so thought nothing of this. But still, Trump will blame some poor speech writer and ruin that person's career.

"professionals" who helped write Rand Paul's multiple plagiarized articles and talks? Also, Trump is getting "D level" people, at best. The campaign is riddled with incompetence. We'll never know how many people of principle refused to work for them at all levels, but in any case some who didn't have any problem working to elect him certainly could be plants.

It could be one of the kids, but this would be a huge betrayal that not only would hurt their dad, and them all, politically, but it'd cause great trouble in the family.
