Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the only mildly effective parts of Melania Trump's widely derided RNC speech last night were plagiarized from Michelle Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2008. The similarities are as plain as are the dissimilarities between the women's educational backgrounds and speaking skills.

Melania, in a pre-speech interview, said:

I read once over it. That's all. Because I wrote it with as little help as possible.

Perhaps she had a little help from Google?

The Trump campaign's response leaves a lot to be desired:

Some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking.

Some? The fraud—who has lied about her college background—claimed she wrote the thing herself. Plus, even if someone doesn't write a speech themselves, shouldn't 100% of it reflect their own thinking?

This isn't even funny to me anymore. This is disturbing. A huge % (hopefully not a majority) of America is being willfully conned by these grifters.
