Quote:Lest we forget his Vice President plagiarized an entire speech from an Irish politician years ago.

 

This whole plagiarism story is manufactured to try to diminish the overarching theme of the actual speech.  I couldn't care less if Michelle Obama made similar comments 8 years ago.  I am encouraged that the one line NOT lifted from any of her speeches was "for the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country".  She told her own story about being an immigrant in the communist bloc of Europe, and how her parents pressed them to reach for the stars.  She was a success before she ever crossed paths with her husband, and she has continued to build her own brand and run a successful business while still being a mother and wife.

 

When Michelle gave that speech 8 years ago, the words were hollow.  I don't think the same thing is true coming from Melania Trump.

 

The left needs to turn this into an issue because it takes the spotlight off of their flawed candidate.  Trump isn't much better, but Clinton is about as bad a nominee as you can get with all of her baggage. So, it's not really surprising that they'd latch on to this to get a little deflection going.
