    LOL, these are things parents tell children. You seem to think that Hillary owns these sayings and owns the First Amendment. The only difference is that Hillary doesn't mean it.

    Best wife money could buy. But wasn't very successful as a model, and was tanking when she grabbed Donald.

    nice attempt to deflect, but denied; and you're factually wrong too.

    The genius copies a speech from Michelle Obama of all people (one written by a Hillary speechwriter)!!!

    LOL!

    Babbling incoherently doesn't change his point. She really messed up here, and we have the video of her bragging about how she wrote most of it.

    Oh please....are you saying that Melania Trump said to herself, "From whom can I plagiarize" and the best she could do is Michelle Obama? LOL On its face, that is absurd. Does Michelle have a patent on talking about dreams and working hard? You people are soooooooooo desperate, but carry on, because Libs sure are giving us a laugh. From what I understand, Melania Trump speaks 4 languages and is very smart. She certainly does not need Michelle. It is just a way to try to negate at good her speech was, and it is NOT working.

    Thing is, this isn't about Melania...it's about the Trump campaign.


    First, Paul Manafort and Jason Miller indicated that "some parts" of the speech might have been lifted from Michelle Obama's speech.

    Then four hours later, Manafort denied completely there was ANY plagiarism....right after a compilation video was put up on YouTube showing them side-by-side.

    The Trump Campaign is being run by the Three Stooges.

    Actually, she's getting a bit long in the tooth for him.
    I wouldn't be surprised to see him dump her for a younger model soon.
    He seems to have the hots for Ivanka.

    Didn't she claim to have written most of the speech. I think I Remember something about her spending five or six weeks on the speech.

    Lol...Oh dear boy, the whole world is laughing at Trump's trophy wife's pratfall today.
    Melania isn't fit to tie Michelle's shoes, and her speech was an opaque platter of bull(*)(*)(*)(*) devoid of any real personal insights into her life with Trump. It was as plastic as she is.
    But then, the truth of their marriage wouldn't read so well, would it?

    First Melania claimed she wrote the speech.

    Then after the plagiarism was discovered, Paul Manafort and Jason Miller (Trump Comm. Director) claimed that "Melania's team of writers" wrote it.

    A great line this morning-

    "Melania talked about how loyal Donald is.....ask Ivana and Marla about that."

    There's a lot of what "us writers" call 'boiler plate' when writing!

    Btw, better have your hormones checked pretty soon..........

    Here's the time-line-

    1. Melana claims she wrote the speech.

    2. Melania gives the speech.

    3. It's discovered she lifted an entire passage from Michelle Obama's 2008 Convention speech.

    4. Manafort and Miller claim that Melania's "team of writers" wrote the speech and that "some instances" from other sources were used. Seemingly admitting there was "some" plagiarism.

    5. Four hours later, Manafort denies enitrely that there was ANY plagiarism.



    Melania's speech isn't the problem in the Trump campaign....the problem is...the Trump campaign.

    The racists tangenting to attacks on Mrs. Obama's appearance was inevitable.

    Let them go for it.....their personal issues aren't the real story. (that'll last until they are dead and buried)

    The amateur hour Trump campaign is.

    lol, too funny!!!

    the speeches last night were all plain scripted, redundant RW talking points. i seriously doubt they swayed any voters. melania, as beautiful as she is, offered little other than eye candy. i dont doubt her ability, but that ability was not seen in her speech.
