I love the Trump campaign's response to this. They were "common words." I'd love to see a college student try that line on a professor.

Hallie Jackson on Tuesday morning asked MSNBC contributors for their reactions to Ms. Trump’s speech.
“I’ll start by quoting a guy called Tom Nichols, who’s a conservative and very prominent on Twitter, who said, ‘Ask yourself if Michelle Obama would have been given a pass had she done the same thing in 2008?'” Reid began.
“I think we’re all very quickly passing the responsibility onto staff. Clearly, this is a campaign that is poorly staffed. I think that has been clear for a long time. But they sent Melania Trump over to Matt Lauer to say that she wrote it [the speech].”
Reid turned her attention to her colleagues: “But we’re immediately dismissing the idea that she had anything to do with it. I doubt that we would dismiss the idea that Michelle Obama had anything to do with it.”
“She’s an adult woman,” Reid continued.” She’s grown up. She has participated in the delivery of this speech. She gave the speech. So I think you have to give responsibilty — sure, to the staff, the campaign management has been poor here — but Melania Trump did give the speech and Michelle Obama wouldn’t have gotten a pass.”

Wait until you see their pivot. They've already blamed the issue on Clinton and are saying, she once again, is going after a woman who is threatening.
Lol
So its only plagiarism if the words are "uncommon"?
This entire episode is a window into how a Trump administration would(not) function
The concept of branding seems to elude you.
Do you know anything about what happened in Libya and Hillary's role in this debacle which has caused massive death and human suffering?
Never in my life did I swear allegiance to Libya.
And if you're mad at 4 americans being dead, how about 4000 Americans who have been hurt by hate attacks due to Trump or 40,000 Americans who don't have limbs due to the Iraq war?
If you want to blame Hilary's vote.. she's only 1 vote, she didn't con us. The stuff would have passed regardless, It was 77-23. Would 76-24 have made a difference in your rhetoric? nope.. so it's a wash.
....If you deny it enough and try to make yourself out to be a victim, you'll split the consensus that you are guilty of something and generate enough doubt to keep moving forward.
You're completely clueless as to what I'm talking about. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Here's a "hint".Never in my life did I swear allegiance to Libya.

I'm sure it's been retracted by now, but why would anyone in their right mind take a speech that was written for them, and insert 2 plagiarized paragraphs in the middle? That person would have to be really stupid, else doing that intentionally.
That's probably the best part - in only a small way, it shows the mindset of so many of the Republicans.
Nah, just breezily not thought through, is my guess.
It does amaze me how many here relentlessly attack Hilary on the honesty issue while never saying a peep about The Donald, who's by far the biggest, the most shameless, the most consistent liar there is. He outdoes Reagan, and like Reagan, lies so often and so easily it's apparent they both came to believe their own lies. That's one scary Twilight Zone.
I do. It's not just a "silly little speech", it's a speech by the wife of a man who wants to lead the most powerful nation on this planet. If Michele Obama had done the same thing conservative sirens would have been going off coast to coast. You know damned well they would too. It also matters because it speaks to the level of honesty and the amount of effort her husband would put into leading the country.
Little to none, just like her.
PS: You should have gone to Benghazi!, it's the theme from the first night of the convention... Lame diversion attempt - 0/10
How do you explain how she's polling in the truthfulness issue?
This is the best the Democrats have to bitch about? This has to be one of the stupidest threads I have ever read.
lol Great!Both posted at the same time, "great minds" 'n all. Hey 'possum, it's a Moose and Squirrel mind meld!
With rare exceptions such as Rand Paul or Bernie Sanders, the two parties are truly one on foreign intervention. They beat each other up over it, but do the exact same things when in power.You know what's even more ironic? Trumps VP pick was all for overthrowing Qaddafi.

Because she's a piece of fluff, even more so than is Michelle Obama.Why is everyone ready and eager to give Melania a pass? I agree with Reid's comments below. I also find all the "oh she did a good job reading it" insulting to her. As if she isn't capable of writing or checking over a speech herself.
The points of discussion are like what 3 small common phrases that were used even before Michelle Obama used them... So actually she also plagerized those phrases.
Much ado about Nothing....
She gave an excellent speech. 99.999% which was Not "Plagerized".
Malania made a 3.6 million word speech?
