Even among Republicans, the inside-outside line isn’t always clear
Everybody’s talking about the news late Monday out of the Republican convention that Melania Trump’s speech last night may have lifted parts of Michelle Obama’s convention speech, back when she was the prospective first lady. The Trump campaign’s response to all this? That the “team of writers” who worked on her speech “included fragments that reflected her own thinking.” For a candidate who says he’s a political outsider, that sure sounds like “insider” language.
That’s what we’re talking about this week here on Marketplace — insiders and outsiders in politics, in culture and especially the economy.
