Mrs. Trump, Monday night:
“From a young age, 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 and showed me values and morals in their daily lives. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son. And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. 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.”
Mrs. Obama, in her 2008 speech:
“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.

Very true. I think there is talk that they both used the same speech writers. I hope that is true. We don’t need this crap. I don’t care how it happened but they need to be more careful. We need 270 to win and Independents are the way we win. They hate this kind of thing.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
Saw someone saying that on Twitter that there was an enemy in the camp.
I am sure too....but it is her responsibility to ensure it was at least not plagiarized.
Only if idiots are so weak willed as you. Yeah a crazed Cruz supporter “sabotaged” Melania’s speech by radio from the grassy knoll.
Do you not understand the media makes nonsense like this up because they can’t allow a positive GOP message?
Good God stand up for your side. Plagiarized First Lady speech, as if there even is such a thing. There is not. Talking about your upbringing is not a footnoted phd thesis.
FU, NYT.
I think this was intentional by the Trump team.
Living. Rent. Free. in the head of Obama (and everyone else on the left)
They used rick’s song to rick roll us too. Speech writer must have liked that song. Never gonna give up...never gonna let you down....
Uh no. It’s not her job. It is a speech writer’s job. And professors. And poor college students.
Melanie said that ‘she wrote it with as little help as possible’ - meaning she did have help. That person sabotaged her and set her up.
“Second possibility is I wonder if she looked to past first lady speeches for inspiration. “
Bingo.
Plagiarism? LOL. I don’t believe convention speeches are copyrighted.
They hate what kind of thing? My God no wonder republicans lose. You people are pathetic tonight. They both were raised right by their parents? How many years in prison would you recommend?
This is nothing why do you dignify it?
Hmmm, & the plot thickens..
I hope Donald kicks his azz!
Comparisons. The selection of the speakers was genius! The whole night is for people to use their critical thinking! To compare. It was about the people impacted by leftist policies and the last 7 and 1/2 years of incompetence. The hate America crowd compared to the crowd that loves America!
The true & raw emotion of those wronged.
What family really does embody the values in Melania’s speech? Compare.
After 7 and 1/2 years can you say that the Obamas do?
Well in any other forum it would be the speaker no matter what, but I guess in politics it is different. I doubt it will get much traction after a few days. Right now it is like a fire going through a forest but it will settle down I hope.
This sucks.
I thought it was a very good night, but this will be the only thing people remember from it now.
The MSM is overjoyed at their good luck. They won’t let this one go.
