So, Drumpf will say on tomorrow that it didn’t happen. And the media will say “okay” and find something else to talk about. Like how wonderful DerFurher appeared tonight.

Melania has a dream that one day her four little children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

I am SO looking forward to Michelle’s speech next week. She’s too much of a lady to do this, but I want to see (rhetorical) blood. I want Trump cowering by the speech’s end.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she took a swipe, even if it’s a small one.

They make software now a days for teachers/professors that are designed to detect instances of plagarism in a student essay. It would be interesting to see what sort of results Melania’s speech would receive.

Well now, gosh!. It wouldn’t be sporting to attack the little lady but the little trophy ho absolutely plagiarized her speech. What an idiot. Michelle – the last respectable First Lady the republic will have known – should sue her for royalties but settle for a public thank you.

Oh. My. God. Can’t get much lower, but I’ll wager it will by November. And they claim the Clinton’s operate by their own rules. Anything goes with Trump.

We all know that Melania Trump didn’t write any of this speech all she did was read what someone gave her. I’m also sure she knows who Michelle Obama is but I’m also sure she has never heard one of Michelle’s speeches. So I’m going to give her a brake on this one, it won’t be long before we won’t remember who she is, but for her husband we won’t be so lucky this jackass will be around forever, well it will seem like forever.

In a bit of delicious irony, here is an apparently earlier headline from a story in the HuffPost: “RNC Delegates See Melania As An Antedote [sic] To Michelle Obama.”

Except she claimed to have written it herself. And that it took her 5 weeks.

Judge for yourself. Tell us, nick, why this is not plagiarism, hmm?
Obama: Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values. Like: you work hard for what you want in life.
Trump: ...the values that you work hard for what you want in life.
Obama: ...that your word is your bond, that you do what you say you’re gonna do.
Trump: ...that your word is your bond, and you do what you say and keep your promise.
Obama: ...that you treat people with dignity and respect
Trump: ...that you treat people with respect
Obama: ...because we want our children and all children in this nation to know the only limits on the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them.
Trump: ...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.

She would receive a big ol’ red F. I eagerly await Hillary’s social media ad. Madame President’s rapid response team? You’re on.

My husband carries around his university issued laptop that has that very program installed. It’s fairly routinely used in most universities.
My husband usually finds errors in attribution, and most of them are more from sloppiness than outright lifting and passing something off as your own.
It won’t make a bit of difference. By tomorrow morning, we’ll all be hearing how that Muslim’s wife stole Malania’s speech.

IOKIYAR, baby. It’s been normalized for years.

I didn’t know that - so that’s another layer of intrigue. I also just heard Joy Reid say that she overheard someone (a convention official, I think, and therefore a Republican) say that no one would give Michelle Obama a pass on something like this.
