So let me get this straight. A Republican woman plagiarized the speech of a Democratic woman but the left is vile and juvenile?

...but Trump voters should vote the other way, because Melania mishandled this.

And if the Democrats are not jealous they should be because she is the best person I have seen vowing for first lady in my 70 years. A person ought to vote for Trump just to make her first lady. She will be a good addition with her selflessness and composure and attitude. I have seen low attacks on people in politics but this one takes the cake in my opinion. You are upset because she has family values?????????????
You know she posed for nude photos, right? And they were published in magazines for which she presumably received large sums of money?

Family values ain't what they used to be.

For the record, I don't care about her modeling career, but to say she's the "best person" to be vying for first lady in 70 years is a bit much.

i've combined the two quotes to make things more comprehensive.

black bold = verbatim
blue = melania paraphrase
red = michelle paraphrase

[ raised with / parents impressed ] 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; /and keep your promise;] that you treat people with [ dignity and ] respect. [ non-matching ]

[ pass them on to / pass along to the next / many ] generation(s)

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 / the strength ] of your dreams and willingness to work for them."

Quick Internet search of these quotes:

“Work hard for what you want in life” – 23,000,000 results

“Your word is your bond” – 901,000,000 results

“Treat people with respect” – 9,110,000 results

I've said the same phrases for years - perhaps Michelle Obama & Melania Trump plagiarized ME.
