Wow. Not completely verbatim but so obviously plagiarized. She spent six weeks to copy someone else's speech? I can't believe I almost fooled myself into thinking anyone with the Trump last name was capable of being a decent person. It's not surprising though, the Trump campaign is so unbelievably lazy.

Unforgivable. Michelle is an amazing woman. To have her words stolen to benefit someone as deplorable as Donald Trump is unacceptable.

Wow, tonight has really been a disaster for the GOP. I wonder if tomorrow will be any better for them.

Josh Marshall's advice from the other night comes to mind: "Early on I realized that when it came to Trump if I figured out the stupidest possible scenario that could be reconciled with the available facts and went with it, that almost always turned out to be right. The stupider, the righter."

I actually watched Michelle's 2012 speech earlier this evening before this news broke out. She's so down to earth and amazing. She can't be replaced by someone who would plagiarize from her.

Unbelievable.

After eight years of demonizing and vilifying Michelle Obama for being an intelligent, well-educated, accomplished black woman (uppity!), the Republicans steal her speech for their preferred replacement - a Botoxed, plastic bimbo who can barely speak English.

How do you spell "disaster?" G-O-P.

Just more evidence that Trump is a Democratic plant.

Pretty awful that everyone is dancing around criticizing Melania directly. The bar has been set so unbelievably low for her that it's difficult to comprehend. I suppose we can attribute it to a generally unshakeable tendency to patronize immigrants and women who are "brave enough" to step into the arena where it's otherwise understood that they don't belong.

But yeah, this is pretty bad for team Trump. And not only because it's filthy and dishonest, either. The media will spend the next 18 hours replaying Melania Trump juxtaposed against Michelle Obama. That is not a comparison the Trump campaign would have wanted people to make.

I'm disappointed that she broke off the Rickroll half way thru.  That would have made ordinary plagiarism, epic.

She said she did and it took her 5-6 weeks.

If Trump is truly the "law and order candidate" he needs to disavow of Melania immediately and call for her to be prosecuted. This is infringing on Michelle Obamas intellectual property.
