Democratic Candidate Plagiarized Another Democrat's Plagiarized Jobs Plan
[BREITBART] BuzzFeed reported Thursday that Susan Wismer, the Democratic Party's gubernatorial nominee in South Dakota, has been caught plagiarizing from the already plagiarized jobs plan of the party's Wisconsin gubernatorial nominee, Mary Burke. Wismer also plagiarized from the Democratic Party's gubernatorial nominee in Texas, Wendy Davis.

Until this plagiarism of a plagiarized plan story broke on Thursday, Wismer liked to point out the similarities between herself and Burke of Wisconsin.

On her campaign website, for instance, the lead story in her news section cites an article published in the Washington Post last month, which reported that "Mary Burke made Wisconsin history Tuesday. She and South Dakota's Susan Wismer -- both of them Democrats -- this year became the first women since 1970 and likely ever to secure a major-party nomination for governor in their respective states, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University."

Unlike Burke in Wisconsin, who doubled down when her plagiarism was discovered and declared she would proudly leave her jobs plan unchanged, Wismer in South Dakota appeared to display some shame at being caught.

#1 This is what's called "being on the same page."

#2 Mary Burke has put a LOT of thought in her #1 priority(!) - economics and jobs. That's why she plagiarized other losing candidates jobs plans verbatim

#3 Democratic party attitude: why waste time figuring out a plan when you can copy one? Doing so you don't even have to read it.

#4 why waste time figuring out a plan when you can copy one?

It's not like any of them are ever going to be implemented...
