If it’s true it makes you wonder where Michelle stole it from.

Now, now. I am sure quite a few of the dems speak eubonics, at least well enough to get re-elected time and time again.

This is pure BS, ideas are not words

How dare a world class beauty show stop a convention when the two women in her wake
are bigger than a linebacker or fatter than a hippo

Looks like a paragraph you see hundreds of times.

I bet with a little research, someone can find that the paragraph did not originate with Michelle Obama. There is likely an earlier source that Michelle drew from.

Melania must have really upset the lefties tonight with her outstanding performance. Lovely woman.

Nobody but nobody in the political field writes their own speeches. And speechwriters are for hire for either side. I'm guessing that they may have hired the same speechwriter. Or the speechwriter got lazy and went back and looked at Obama’s speech for reference.

But let's not forget our current VP is a prolific plagiarist and yet the press didn't think it was worth mentioning in 2008

she was likely set up, since she was asked prior to speech about who wrote it and she said she did with minimal help (or something like that)

Thank you for the reference. I appreciate it very much. :)

And no, I am not being sarcastic. I truly do appreciate being supplied with facts that I can refer to at a later date when necessary to bolster a point or provide a reference point.

Cheers!

Definitely smells of sabotage. Trump has to have a truly trustworthy advisor get to the bottom of this.

Or else someone was reviewing past convention speeches and was somehow extremely careless with the texts, that’s how a certain amount of student plagiarism occurs, when they have a bunch of quotes or index cards (if anyone still uses index cards) and loses track of where some text came from.

This was a HUGE blunder by Team Trump. So massive I am convinced they were setup by the speechwriter.

Do NOT underestimate this folks...the media will ENSURE this will dominate the headlines all day Tuesday and perhaps into Thursday.

ha ha that’s so true, now the question should be where did Moochelle get the text, since she probably didn’t write it herself!

I agree.

How could this be an accident? I can’t imagine Melania did this. Will be interesting to find out who ‘ helped ‘ her.
