This isn't that sort of "plagiarism" discussion. This is about speeches supposedly explaining ideas & the man who wants to lead the US.

For a professor like Buckley to re-use his own language from a prior writing is an odd ego exercise, first of all.

Second, of all this is extraordinarily lazy. Of Buckley and the campaign. Really? For a speech like this, you're going to re-use old stuff?

Third, I don't care when the speech was written. After last night, if nothing else, the campaign should have found & edited the part today.

And why would a “professional” re-use and not write new copy?

I'd fail my student if they recycled an old paper for my class.
