Melania Trump plagiarism scandal shows deeper problems in Trump campaign
- July 19, 2016
- Louis DeSipio, Chicano/Latino studies and poli sci prof, tells The Mercury News the campaign missed an opportunity for a positive impact - July 19, 2016
Louis DiSipio, director of the UC Irvine Center for the Study of Democracy, agreed
that few voters would be swayed by the controversy. "I don't think there will be a
negative impact, but I think they missed an opportunity for a positive impact," DiSipio
said. "The spouse's speech is supposed to be a humanizing moment for the candidates
– and if anyone needs that, Donald Trump needs that. Whatever she said was lost in
the fact that there was bad speechwriting for her."
