Except that these are all well-worn platitudes not unique to either woman.
You can't be serious. THAT was plagiarized. I doubt she did this, but the similarities are astounding. This is a major scandal. Let's see how this is handled.
It... really isn't.
It's tasteless and incompetent, but that's what I've come to expect from the Trump campaign. On the long list of ills he's committed during his campaign, this is sitting somewhere around, "Oh. Business as usual, I guess." Talking about the insanity of his platform is a far more worthy scandal than this.
This dog will hunt. Trump has to address this. His wife looks like a buffoon.

Actually, she looks like a victim of incompetence. She read what the speechwriter gave her. Trump hired the speechwriter.
They are extremely similar, except that Melania is certainly no Michele Obama! Not even close.Here’s the key moment in Trump’s speech tonight:
My parents impressed on me the value of that you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect. Show the values and morals in in the daily life. That is the lesson that we continue to pass on to our son.
We need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. [Cheering] Because we want our children in these nations to know that the only limit to your achievement is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.
And this is from Michelle Obama’s speech in 2008:
And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same 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; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them.
And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generation. 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 of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.

Holy ****. This is unreal.
Somebody on Trump's campaign screwed the pooch on this deal.

The speeches look too close to be coincidental. It's almost line for line....yeesh. How did that happen?
She's a Barbie doll.She looks like a total dumbass.
Because she couldn't come up with anything original.
Nobody writes their own keynote speeches.
If it was Michele Obama who had done that...the right wing would've ripped her apart. So why should Melania get a pass?

In all fairness though, besides Obama few in public life in this capacity write their own speeches (or books).Because she couldn't come up with anything original.
Boy, isn't that the case.
The only winger here to comment so far is pretending it's not plagiarism- just coincidence.
Apparently marching orders have not been issued yet.
