All I know is that the first quote was written by Mike Stock and sung by the great Kylie Minogue.

The correct answer is that NONE of these quotes were said by either candidate!

I is the first verse from Kylie Minogue's excellent single, I Should Be So Lucky - kudos to BlueSwan. (You call Stock, Aitken and Waterman autotune merchants. I call them revolutionaries.)
Well, technically autotune didn't even exist back then. But yeah, they were pop geniuses. Unfortunately, Mike Stock (the main songwriter) has become a raving right wing conspiracy lunatic. I had to unfollow him due to all the Qanon adjacent nonsense like chemtrails, covid-vaccines killing people, stolen election BS and of course general Trump-worshipping (which is always extra strange when coming from non-Americans).

You call them revolutionaries or pop geniuses. I call them plagiarists.
That one was pretty egregious, but they did end up settling that one out of court. Their (mostly Mike Stock) sense of melody was pretty astounding though. Yes, they quite often borrowed liberally from other songs, like Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" famously nicks the bassline from Colonel Abrams "Trapped", but they did turn these bits into something else and usually something far more melodic.
