Apparently not when it comes to speechwriting. Again, there are apps for this that every college student is aware of.


She also has some good nudies out there that Michele does not.


Give me a break.

Do explain to us how Hillary is responsible for Trump's wife copying Michelle Obama's speech.


Exactly HOW was this accomplished.


We are looking for details here.

Yeah yeah, keep repeating the same boring words. You people hammered on Michelle constantly for 8 years, put your big boy pants on now.

So now someone's looks are what we should care about? That makes them credible? I always knew cons were ridiculous.

No they haven't. Look at the text of both speeches side by side and Melania clearly took the words and the thought train of Michelle's. These weren't random words and phrases, thrown in here or there.

Ms. 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.

Hey, you're the one who started this farce of a thread. Why don't you explain yourself in great detail. Otherwise, shut the thread down.

This is amazing entertainment.
  • Plagiarizing paragraphs about, of all things, hard work.
  • Plagiarizing from, of all people, Michelle Obama.
  • The rickroll. "He will never give up and he will never, never let you down." Probably won't run around and desert you, either. (Also a funny insistence from a third wife, but hey...)
  • The campaign's mixed messages in trying to do spin control. With Jason Miller from the campaign saying "In writing her beautiful speech, Melania's team of writers took notes on her life's inspirations" and Melania herself saying "read once over it and that's all, because I wrote it, and with as little help as possible".

GOP, I give you the key takeaway from the convention's first day. Please proceed.

Like I was saying, you're just pretending not to get it. If you've watched the videos side-by-side, you know some of the parts were copied.

It is obvious that Hillary had her speech writer create a great speech for Michelle Obama in 2008 and just kicked back and waited for Melania Trump to take the bait. I also believe that Agenda 21 and chemtrails are involved somehow, but the Illuminati hid the proof somewhere at Area 51.
LOL. It's obvious.

Melania Trump Basically Copies a 2008 Michelle Obama Speech at the RNC | E! News

“The only limits to your achievement is the strength of your dreams and willingness to work for them”.

I'm sure it was somewhere in Michelle's speech.............lemmee just find it here......
