During his panel discussion with filmmaker Michael Moore, MSNBC’s Joy Reid, and political commentator Dan Savage, Maher asked if Melania was black, would she be able to get away with plagiarizing the current First Lady’s previous speech.

It might have sounded insane to us, but to millions and millions of Americans, this was music to their ears. “Say it everyday. I certainly think he could win”. “I know that 81% of the country is either female, people of color, or young adults from 18 to 35, and [Trump] has significantly offended all three of those groups and they aren’t going to vote for him”.
Of course, it is too early to tell where voter sentiments will be by November, but Michael Moore agreed with Bill Maher that complacency on the left would be how Trump waltzes into the White House. The enemy is complacent. “All he has to do is win those four states in the primary”.
Moore endorsed Bernie Sanders during the Democratic primaries, but said he will support Hillary Clinton in the lead-up to Election Day. “I’m sorry”, said Moore, eliciting a chorus of boos from the studio audience.
The director of “Fahrenheit 911” compared Trump’s strategy to the successful campaign for Britain to leave the European Union. He included Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and his home state of MI in his statement, saying that Mitt Romney lost by 64 electoral votes in 2012 and those states combined produce that exact number which will give Trump a win in the Electoral College.
