You laugh, as if you don’t know you need all of us.
Hillary cackles with glee every time you and your ilk beat that dead horse.
OK this section looks plagiarized. “Your word is your bond”? Of all people to steal material from — Michelle Obama? Fire the idiot that did this.
TRUMP: My parents impressed on me the values: that you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect. They taught me to show the values and morals in my daily life. That is the lesson that I continue to pass along to our son.
And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. [Cheering] Because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.
And here’s a similar passage from (Michelle) Obama’s speech in 2008:
“... And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you’re going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them, and even if you don’t agree with them.
And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generation. Because we want our children — and all children in this nation — to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.”
It’s all coming crystal clear now.

Your original post was long and, to a lot of us, seemingly hysterical - including your comment about putting it through some computer thing to see all the plagiarizing.
It is a nothing burger. But I am concerned about the concern-trolls here and elsewhere who are blowing this spectacularly out of proportion. Many interesting things happened last night but this is all anyone - and some of us who should know better - is talking about.
Very clear. Thanks for link.
Someone needs to hear YOU’RE FIRED and soon!
Those are words anybody would come up with to talk about their upbringing. It’s absurd to call in plagiarism. There’s nothing original here to steal.
And of course, this brings up the question of what Cruz has in mind for Thursday night. Trump should fire every last member of his communications team, but the timing becomes somewhat critical. Too soon, and loose cannon Ted might go rogue. Too late and it looks petty.
I think he should fire them before Thursday, and remove Cruz from the schedule. To do it would require an iron-clad account of why. Manafort should not be sitting in morning TV shows, he should be overseeing an investigation and coming up with a way to credibly take Cruz out.
Agree
Partisans on both sides will lie to protect their own. That’s why people are so disgusted with politics. A fair reading of the following shows it is identical. So yes it was stolen. whoever did it should be fired. We have a war to fight and we certainly don’t want to be stealing words from liberal democrats.
Trump: you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond
Obama: you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond
In one instance, however, there is actual work involved, as well as honoring your word.
I’m loling at your self importance. Your vote is your own - vote Hillary or sit it out. No one is going to kiss your ass for it just because you still back a loser turd. Everyone knows you guys want to burn it down anyway in some demented hope that the country will come crawling to Cruz in 2020.
Just like when a child stomps his feet and cries because he didn’t get his way, its best to laugh and shrug off the caterwauling of the Cruzlosers.
With all due respect, you don’t know jack sh*t about me.
I’m planning to vote for Trump because he’s not Hillary and he’s the only one who has a snowball’s chance of stopping her.
Others won’t vote for him, either because they’re tired of voting “for the lesser of two evils” and decide instead to vote for someone they actually support, or because they’ve had enough of the likes of you.
And if enough of them go that direction—third-party or write-in—you can can go thank yourself.
I am not Cinna the Conspirator. I am Cinna the Poet.
It was totally planned... down to the last word and the rickroll. I just had a long talk with my son who is a total Reddit geek. He said that this community are hugely pro-trump and are laughing their collective you know whats off over this whole thing. Look on Youtube for Melania Rickroll. I also just learned about 4D and 5D chess which is what the geeks say Trump is playing. Not sure what that means. Also there is something called 4Chan which my son says, “don’t go there mom, its sort of raw but they are totally pro-trump”
So anyone else out there with geek level kids know about this?
Ok its my fault if idiots who call themselves NeverTrump don’t vote for Trump. Got it, they just need a pat on the head and a cookie. Btw, the adult former Cruz supporters have already moved on to the general and are trying to save the country and defeat Hillary. The others who keep bitching and moaning are irrelevant.
One of Trumps spokesmen just brought My Little Pony into it.
Trump is definitely trolling.
Oh that’s awesome. More info please
A Cruz supporter wrote the speech. This is Rafael’s revenge.
... the adult former Cruz supporters bashers have already moved on to the general and are trying to save the country and defeat Hillary.
There. Fixed it for you.
In my so very humble opinion, the best thing for Trump campaign to do now is......admit it was a mistake done by some staff member in submitting the text to Melania, and move on. It is a serious mistake to refuse to acknowledge the mistake or fight it.
Rush Limbaugh played several instances of past plagiarisms by Obama, Biden, and others, on his show this morning. But at the end of day, to me anyway, it is just words in English.
