One speechwriter clearly screwed up, unless it was intentional, and it appears to have been imo since it is word for word.

The speakers, be it Michelle or Melania, should be judged on delivery not content. They don't write any of their words so why even assess based on them, plagiarized or otherwise?

Not an issue to me...

If they have Ivanka reading the Gettysburg address nude I'll agree with you, but Trumps wife looks too much like Caitlyn Jenner for me to get all hot and bothered over.

That's it!! Impeach him now and arrest her before she can plagerize again.

Donald Trump is a massive Egotist but Hillary Clinton has been telling lies and corrupting matters since Little Rock,and every practice of her political life has been corrupted.One of these candidates may be a buffoon but one is Unfit to be President.

That was embarrassing . 1st the ridiculous 60 Minutes interview with Trump and Lynch, then botox gets up there with her heavy accent and forceful demeanor. 
Trump is making outrageous mistakes at every turn. 
He'll lose badly to pant suit. .... We're screwed.

Her native tongue isn't English and given that, she did well.

Unfortunately for her, Slick Willy is the spouse of the other nominee and he's one of the best political speakers of the modern era, or was one of the best at least.

She should have played Ivan Drago's wife in Rocky 4.  Would have been perfect.

Have presidential nominees in the past had foreign spouses? I find it odd the guy who wants to make America great again, Can't even find an American bird. I also thought it was very classless of Trump to be doing a fox news interview at the same time the mother of a Benghazi victim was making her speech, Very poor organisation last night.

You are high.

She is 47 and in better shape than 95% of our population ever will be.

Speeches are all political platitudes anyhow.....biggest mistake that was made during the delivery was the constant shifting of attention from one teleprompter to the other. Rapid eye movements are a big no-no in that venue. But, she is a novice, and it likely will not matter.

Other than that, she has a great assss, speaks 5 languages, and is a trophy wife. I think those things help Trump....she will be the hottest 1st lady in the history of the US, and will have to file a restraining order against Rachel Maddow.

I thought of Bosnia and Joseph Stalin during that speech.

Appeal to voters that she is capable of establishing a strong relationship with Putin along with her husband. That is my guess.
A poor choice by Trump advisers.

First of all they all blatantly copy one another. Obama did same thing in the last few years I think. 
With regards to this I think it was probably done intentionally. Goes to the Trump get all the press you can strategy he's been employing.
Think about it she gives a great but original speech it's a page in the politics section of a site especially left leaning sites. With this they were front page in every news site I looked at today...
I maintain we have the choice between a turd sandwich and a giant douche in November but Trump's strategy is better than Hillary's so far in my opinion.

Who cares. It's the possible future president's wife. Doesn't matter what they have to say, they are virtually insignificant.

When even your wife has nothing positive to say about you, you might as well do the next best thing and purposely steal someone else's material. She should have talked about how we will all be safer with a big wall protecting us at the border.

Not worth discussing a speech by a spouse.  Nobody cares.
