If phrases are cliches, they’re free for everyone to use... like words.

I didn’t watch the speech. Please tell me she didn’t refer to Donald Trump as her Baby Daddy.

The media is ridiculous.

I didn’t watch the speech. But I have heard the excretable Moochelle snippets. Unless Malania was lamenting that she’s a poor black child and everyone hates her in this racist horrible country and she’s never been proud of the USA then I don’t see how there could be plagiarism.

Being a member of the cliche police in a crackdown on Washington would be a terrible job.

Cliches or not, if a speechwriter helped himself to the actual wording of another person's speech (especially the First Lady of the opposing party), that person needs to be .... fired. They gave away the first evening.

People need to stop using cliches! They have to think out of the box.

Oh, noes! Wait till Hitler hears about this.
Oh. Wait. Even Hitler couldn't throw a hissy fit like what's left of the Left Wing Media.

Technically speaking, any speaker that uses a speech writer is a plagiarizer. The only solutions - write your own speech, or have the speechwriter give the speech for you.

I hope somebody puts together a montage of all the left-wing talking airheads saying the exact same thing about this.

Donald: “You are my wife.”
Melania: “Good-bye city life.”
Both: “The White House we are there.”
