I admit that Trump is also a corrupt liar.

But I hit the nail on that liberal poster's hypocrisy.

If you can't see that then you aren't thinking due to partisan rancor.

READ the paragraph from Mrs Trump's speech, and the paragraph from First Lady Obama's speech.

They are almost verbatim. They are a clear example of plagiarism.

Anyone who does not see the plagiarism is blinded by their own partisanship.
I have no way of know what you are talking about without you typing exactly what it is because the only thing I have seen is something thousands of people could have said their parents taught them. I have seen or heard nothing that was word for word. I have no intention of looking or listening to anything Michelle Obama has said. Give me word for word quotes or shut up about it.

The only thing I have seen on here is a lot of people trying to discredit a good speech done by a very loving, caring person. I think you should all be ashamed of yourselves for you lack of values.

I wonder how long it will take for the Republicans to launch an investigation into how Michelle Obama plagiarized Melanie Trump? Trey Gowdy has nothing better to do these days, does he? This sounds right up his alley.

They are going to claim that Patrick gave him permission to use his words, but I find that hokey. Obama didn't accredit the words to him, but AFTER the hoopla over this back then Patrick came out and said he gave him permission. I don't know If I believe that, I believe Patrick was covering for him. There are other speeches that Obama and other Dems have made that plagiarized others too though. All in all, all these speeches are just the same old rah-rah recycled over and over again anyway. Not a big deal IMO.

To see a hypocrite look in the mirror.
Trump voters should vote for whomever they support the most. I've never said otherwise.

I also never said Mrs Trump mishandled this. I said the Trump campaign mishandled it. And they have. They've grossly mishandled it. Which in my opinion draws into question the way the Trump campaign has handled, or mishandled, other issues that have come up. I find Trump calling his opponents names, attacking wives and fathers, and finger-pointing to be indicative of his problem-solving skills.

I don't think that Hillary mishandled the e-mail scandal. I think she mishandled the e-mail. And she has said she was wrong and has apologized. To date, there is not concrete evidence that her e-mail was hacked. And there is concrete evidence that government servers have been hacked. So while Hillary's private e-mail server may have been a needless risk, her actions didn't rise to the level of criminality (the conclusion that the FBI arrived at as well), and as far as we know, security wasn't compromised. So yes, I will be voting for Hillary in the fall. That doesn't mean that I agree with every position she's taken, or that I approve of every action she's ever taken. It does mean that in weighing her record overall, and looking at Trump's non-existent political record, his never-to-be-released tax returns, his documented lies during this campaign, and his childish and erratic behavior, that I think Hillary would be the better President.

I understand that you disagree with me. That doesn't make me wrong.

Wrong. I pointed those issues out when Obama was running. Never voted for Obama or Biden. I will never vote for Trump.

There are actually people out here that hold PEOPLE to the same standard regardless of their PARTY.

Try it. It feels really good!

Actually, you didn't hit any nail on the head.

But I understand, you're blinded by your own partisan rancor.
