Could that have been any more impersonal? She didn’t even kiss him at the end.
Maybe he’s going to drop out and reveal this all as a big con. That would be some drama.
“Compared to some of those who took the stage before her, Trump was even-keeled throughout her speech.”
Pausing only once to interject, “Dahnald! Iz Mooze und Sqvirrel!”
She’s far more articulate than her husband, at least.
It’s true that Melania didn’t personalize the Donald, but her delivery was better than I expected. Compared to Joni Ernst, she deserves an award for elocution. Joni is really a stilted speaker - pausing in the wrong places, misplacing accents in words, etc - it sounds like she doesn’t quite understand what she is saying. I thought she was supposed to be the model for Republican women politicians.
Now I understand why Donnie was so willing to marry her. She has a rare intellectual capacity backed up with a very high IQ and an ability to engage in a serious conversation about Shakespeare’s writings. Those attributes just shined out tonight!
So, isn’t she the model for Republican women in total? She is great with boars balls.
Must be those scummy, socialist European schools we hate so much.
“Donald intends to represent all the people, not just some of the
people,” she said. “That includes Christians, Jews and Muslims. It
includes Hispanics and African-Americans and Asians and the poor and
middle class.”
…
I’m calling bullshit on this.
Donnie has already said who he doesn’t like. Very clearly so.

As a reminder:
I wonder how much of the audience resents her being referred to by her first name rather than strictly Mrs. Donald Trump.
Melania Trump, Donald Trump's wife, gave her longest campaign address to date on Monday.
Melania Trump, Donald Trump’s wife wife du jour, gave her longest campaign address to date on Monday.
Remember how the GOP treated and mocked Mrs. Theresa Heinz-Kerry for her being “foreign” back in 2004… yeah, about that…
Drama is what we DON’T need.
“May you live in interesting times” is a CURSE not a blessing, you GOP assholes.

Fixed, for believability.
“Donald intends to represent all the people, not just some of the people…Hispanics and African-Americans and Asians…”
Not mentioned – white folks.
Nope, Trump is too busy being such a great champion of minorities, with his helpful and friendly critiques. For instance, many Mexicans may not have realized they were rapists and drug dealers. And think of the number of Muslims who didn’t realize their religion made them terrorists. I’m sure many minorities will vote for Donald out of sheer gratitude for enlightening them as to their own true nature.
There will be good times and hard times. And unexpected turns," Melania Trump said. “It would not be a Trump contest without excitement and drama.”
In other words she’s just confirming, once again, that Trump really does intend to lower the Presidential race to the level of one of his idiotic TV “reality” shows, complete with manufactured drama. Blech.
TPM:
She [Trump] reminded the audience that she wasn’t a natural-born citizen herself and that she had worked her way up as a model.
All those long days having make-up applied to her face, only to scrub it off again at the end of the day in a dreary, hopeless cycle of despair and haute courture.
It must have been so difficult for her.
we’re all waiting with baited breath for little DiJiT to bring the drama.
