    Words spoken by people who know instinctively that they are automatically on the losing side of an argument, for there is really no way to defend this kind of stuff.

    Thank you for the gracious concession.

    HAL: Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.

    If the roles were reversed the same folks who are defending Trump's wife would be calling for Mrs. Obama's head. Talk about a bunch of hypocrites.

    Did you just say conservatives arent the most honest people? Dude, lefties cant even admit Hillary lied, they corrupted our justice system to the point that people are actually above the law. Doesnt get more dishonest than that.

    Indeed. It's a dumpster fire no matter what these Trump POSs say or do.

    And really, there's a limited number of empty platitudes. Obama and Trump have mined that load.

    Just so. 40% of the Republicans will support him after a murder on 5th Ave.

    Mrs.Obama advises children to eat healthy foods = the jackboot of socialist government tyranny.

    Mrs.Trump quotes Mrs.Obama = Slovenian female Churchill discovered!!!

    LMAO...Poor Melania.
    This is all over the news. She's an airhead and wanted to sound intelligent.
    At least she picked a good role model in trying to channel Michelle.
    She could have tried to channel Palin and talk about lipstick and pigs.

    Let the childish leftist misogynistic sarah pal....I mean melania attack posts begin.
    As I expected after melania delivers a perfect speech in a most articulate fashion, the left needs to take her out at all costs.

    LMAO...Really? So Trump's Slovenian trophy wife is a genuine American yet the Indiana-born judge with the Hispanic surname is a dirty Mexican out to subvert the interest of the US and destroy your great orange hope, eh?
    Who the (*)(*)(*)(*) do you people think you're kidding?

    It would not surprise me if it turns out that Trump already knew that it was plagiarized. The whole election campaign is a joke to him. He must be laughing at all his supporters. Not only did he fund previous Democrat campaigns, he's pro-abortion, he states that the 2nd gulf war was wrong and , he shows anti-Israeli behaviour plus many other non-Repulbican beliefs and yet these foolish Republican supporters still worship him !

    These are common phrases that people say day in and day out. Yes no one has ever said your word is your bond before, or that you treat people with respect.
    Hillary lies under oath, lefties dont care, Melania says to treat people with respect....*gasp* the horror. Seems we need melania in this country to defend women against the misogynist left and children against people like Hillary who calls special needs children ...retards.

    Nonsense. People applaud her choice of a role model for her speech.
    Too bad she's incapable of pulling it off.
    She might have had better luck trying to channel Palin instead, since Palin's rants are largely incoherent and forgettable.

    I wouldn't say it's flat our plagiarism, just some creative liberty of massaging a passage from a previous speech. I am sure she had no idea that the speechwriter did this.

    In any case, it is funny how everyone focuses on the "plagiarism" instead of the content.

    How can both Trump and his wife with a straight face claim that the "hard work" got them where they are today, when they both got to the top of the pile through lucking out in the gene pool lottery?

    I guess her "hard work" was taking off her clothes in front of the camera to show off the assets the gene lottery has blessed her with. If it is Michelle Obama saying those words, she is ridiculed by conservatives as "Moochelle", implying that she possibly couldn't work hard. Yet, from Melania, they hang on every word that comes from her lips, even though her life history stands against everything the "family values" crowd espouses.

    Ahh I see you got attacks in on both women. You are the guy melania was talking about when she spoke about women. Tell us how you really feel about women who dare have a different view than you.

    Lol...The hysterical retorts from the chumps trying to put lipstick on this pig are precious.
    I will enjoy seeing all of the hypocritical contortions that Trump's chumps are forced into to excuse this embarrassing pratfall.
    And it's only day 1.

    That's because no one actually believes anything they say and expect Trump and his chumps to lie through their teeth, but being stupid enough to plagiarize Mrs. Obama's speech is somewhat newsworthy.

    Way too close for comfort. You can't really deny that the wording in the two speeches were close to identical--can you? One idjut plagiarizing another idjut. Fantastic.
