Hillary's team makes a move to trademark "May the Force be with You"

When asked how or why she would attempt to do such a thing her campaign spokesperson had this to say.

"Look she treats this phrase and idea like she does everything she incorporates as her own that begins as someone else's idea first"

The spokesperson went on to direct us to the ideas and statements she has "acquired" from those she is running against as evidence. "Her polling data told her this would make for a popular message" , he further stated.

Disney/ABC has not formally endorsed her as of yet but hopes that the latitude they extended her campaign so far and in this debate shows they are Ready for Hillary. Since they previously held the trademark after acquiring it from Lucas ltd, they are choosing not to defend this taking of their intellectual property and are going a further step, stating "We are asking that Hillary to be allowed to "acquire" any one else's ideas as her own and run with them".
