    From your link:

    I'm guessing that Michelle won't be making that same statement about Melania.

    I gotta agree. And even though I vote Repub, I still think they (their speech writers) and to some extent Melanie are complete idiots for not changing some of the wordings. But again, I literally don't understand why its such a big deal. These people (Michelle O. and Melanie T. ) do not mean dick to the United States as a whole. They aren't running and have no influence on the country whatsoever. It's not like the other sides' shit don't stink.

    What's worse lying to the FBI and getting caught (while running for POTUS), or plagiarizing and getting caught? (while being a candidates wife) :)

    It is just so stupid. She should have said "four score and seven years ago......."

    Is Saturday Night Live filming currently? I gotta good idea for them.

    Have Michelle Obama give a speech about how despite her husband's wacky hair she married him anyway because he is rich.

    First off, the FBI specifically said she didn't lie to them.

    But here's why Melania's speech matters.

    1. Donald Trump doesn't know shit about governing, public policy, foreign policy, the economy, etc..

    2. That's supposedly ok, because Donald Trump is going to hire great, really great, the best people to help him.

    3. Donald Trump didn't actually hire really, really great people for the campaign. He hired his kids and random golf caddies and people with questionable backgrounds.

    4. As a result, his campaign is a rolling dumpster fire, and nobody even thought to supervise the speechwriting.

    5. If he can't staff his own campaign, why should we expect him to be able to staff the executive branch well? Note that a campaign is much more similar to a business (his supposed strength) than the government is to a business.

    So in conclusion, The Donald doesn't know shit about doing the job, and he's highly likely to hire incompetent friends/family/fringe characters to help him.

    That's why Melania's speech matters. It's a symptom, not the problem.

    Trump is officially the Republican Nominee...and the delegate to bring him over the top, was from New York, and was of course, his son little Donnie

    Anyone watch Futurama? I don't remember if they explained when suicide booths came to be but this election might be the Skynet, Terminator type shit that causes mass suicides.

    I very much doubt that someone accidentally copied parts of Mrs Obama's speech. Seems like this was done intentionally to fuck with Trump.

    I'm starting to think with the logo, the 60 minutes interview, and now this, the whole Trump campaign is really a new Christopher Guest movie. Just waiting for Joaquin Phoenix to make an appearance.

    Either that or they just thought they wouldnt get caught. Blue32 is right though, it really shouldnt matter but it does show there is some poor judgment by those in the campaign

    It's not like she ordered a drone to kill a hundred civilians or ordered a country to be bombed. Those things are far less important than the similarities of a couple of sentences in the two speeches.

    If the facts aren't on your side, bang the table.

    Don Junior's speech was a little like Dwight's speech from The Office. Good speech though.

    It's what the Democrats are doing, banging the table.

    They did it last time, too. Binders of women (bang the table) to obscure Benghazi (a foreign policy disaster that would have hurt Obama's chances if they told the truth about it).

    LOL, Barack Obama is the indisputable king of plagiarism. Here are some well-known examples:
