The level of dumbfuckery on this board rivals the sludge seeping out of the RNC in Cleveland. Several lines from Michelle Obama's speech were lifted verbatum into Melania Trump's speech. How incredibly ridiculous is that? If you're the Republican first-lady-wanna-be, plagarize and steal lines from Ayn Rand, Nancy Reagan or Sarah Palin. Melania Trump stealing lines from MICHELLE OBAMA's speech is literally the dumbest ******* thing that's ever happened. This is Trump's America where the stupidest, dumbest bullshit is applauded and revered. The country is teetering on the edge of complete collapse and it's all you dumbfuck Trump supporters that will push it over the edge.
I've sat back and figured I'll just follow along and not post anymore. I'm villified as some 'foreigner' cause I live and work abroad. Well, you guys are in this cesspool up to your necks, and you deserve everything that's coming supporting this asshat Donald Trump. You guys made your bed, you'll have to lie in it. Hillary is damaged goods, but she at least won't destroy the country as we know it.
The first day of the RNC was outstanding, so naturally liberals had to find something to criticize.
The accusation is that Melania Trump “plagiarized” a speech made by Michelle Obama in 2008. Well I’m sorry liberals, she did not.
Here are the comments from Michelle Obama 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.
Melania Trump’s speech:
From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond, that you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to or son. And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. Because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.
Did Melania use a few sentences that were similar to Michelle Obama’s speech? Sure, but that is common. ALL First Lady speeches resonate the same universal concepts.
The fact is, you can go back and look at Laura Bush’s speech, Nancy Reagan, and even Hillary when she was first lady and find the same type of comments.
In a speech Hillary Clinton gave in 2014 for the New American foundation. Hillary spoke of the same values saying,
” my mother and father gave us a middle-class life with opportunities she never could have imagined for herself but which she always believed could be possible for her children. And that was a great gift that I will be forever grateful for, and then Bill and I of course worked hard to pass on those values to our daughter.”
(In other words, passing on values to the next generation, like Michelle Obama said in 2008.)
Laura Bush said in her 2004 RNC speech,
“If you’re determined and you want to work hard, you can do anything you want to. That’s the beautiful thing about America.”
(The same concept of Michelle Obama’s speech in 2008.)
Even Ann Romney’s speech hit the same notes in 2012
“Mitt will be the first to tell you that he is the most fortunate man in the world. He had two loving parents who gave him strong values and taught him the value of work.”
Hillary is actually the biggest offender when it comes to plagiarism, she plagiarized Bernie Sanders so often that the hashtag #StealTheBern was born.
Obama plagiarized Bush nearly word for word in 2014, but the liberal media didn’t seem to have a problem with that.
Every 4 years, a first lady, or potential first lady, stands on stage at their convention and talks about the same subjects: upbringing, values and family.
In fact, 90% of what we hear this week will probably be rehashed and resaid at the DNC. They’ll just spin it around to be all about race, class warfare, illegal immigrants and insulting police, of course.
LMFAO - Trump knew ahead of time what he was going to say and just sat back and watched him hang himself.

Cruz is toast
“political suicide by convention.”
Slime ***** Lyin' Ted will never get elected dog-catcher after this, booed off the stage in disgrace - Trump gave him a primetime rope and he climbed the ladder - end of career, good riddance.
I have a few friends who STILL support Cruz after last night's debacle. They say he's a man of integrity and that he stands by what he says. Yes, and Hillary Clinton is honest too.
The fact that Ted thought (thinks) he has a chance to garner votes now is laughable.
The guy is a sleaze ball. And smart. And that is scary combination.
Super sleuth Chris Christie is dumb-founded! He just didn't see it. That's your AG.
How does that not define a billionaire who has twice left his wife for a younger woman and has had many lawsuits against him?
Basically any person who has had as many business ventures as Trump, owns the property he owns, and has been as successful as he has been in business over the course of several decades will have been sued - a lot.How does that not define a billionaire who has twice left his wife for a younger woman and has had many lawsuits against him?
I thought Eric Trump, newt, and pence all had great speeches. I think Donald should take some tips from his kids on speaking...I hope Donald does not come out with the same recycled speech we have heard over and over and over...
Well,
Michelle has multiple degrees from Princeton and Harvard and was an associate Dean.
Melania is a college drop out.
Michelle is of modest appearance
Melania is attractive
Michelle married a spouse that matched her intellect, he was not wealthy at the time.
Melania married an unattractive old man for his money.
