These are common ideas and ideals. This does not bother me much, if at all, mainly because Melania never said she was ashamed of the country a la Michelle.

She didn’t lie. She said she wrote it with “as little help as possible.” That’s a lot of wiggle room, imo.

Melanie also copied wearing two shoes, a right and a left. Just like Michelle!

Funny. I’m embarrassed by some of us too. You don’t defend everything blindly as if your side can do no wrong. This was clear plagiarism and we need to face it. A head needs to roll.

Tin foil hat time.....what if someone went and changed the wording in Mo’s speech to match Melania’s wording then screamed plagiarism?

Sure a video would later show some omission but the MSM could ignore that easily enough.

I wouldn’t put it past them. Cue evil music.

They believe they are the only conservatives left, so conservative in fact that they team up with liberals to attack those who they deem to not be “real conservatives.”

Never Trumper Amanda Carpenter loving this on CNN.

There might be a connection between the so far unnamed speechwriter who helped Mrs Trump and Hurwitz

Yeah, something very weird about this. Wonder if the dems got a ringer speechwriter in there to stiff this paragraph in to make Trump’s wife look bad. Not a chance Trump’s wife did this. Here’s the twitter feed or whatever they call it of the supposed “discoverer.” Remarkable that he would remember these rather unmemorable lines from 8 years ago, while he happened to be tweeting away ripping Trump. Hmm.
