But point 2 won't be highly publicized. Won't matter.

1. Only a small portion of the speech.
2. Harsh judgment of Melania, no doubt springing from extreme bias.

Just performed a Google and result argues against conclusion.

Trump playing the press again. He figures they'll keep comparing Melania and Michelle side by side, over and over.

It is pretty close to identical, but others have said pretty close to the same, before Michelle. If Melania had said it was the first time she was proud of her country, it'd be airtight. Those were definitely Michelle's original words.

You forgot Nancy Reagan.

A. Who cares?

B. The only folks who seem to care about this are the far left and the media, who need something / anything too feed the 24/7 machine.

C. Likely the only reason the media cares about this is that they recycle each other's words constantly and don't want anyone doing what they do.

D. If any of this is true, shouldn't the Obamas be flattered that anyone even remembered something that Michelle Obama said?

E. When in doubt, please refer to item A above.

Re-read my post. I asked you to provide an analysis. I only quoted Governor Stay Puff's as an example. But since you offered none of your own I guess Stay Puff's will have to stand as the official one.

Does anyone remember that, when John Kerry ran for president, the Republicans attacked him for having a foreign-born wife? Patricia Heinz Kerry was born in Mozambique to British and Portuguese parents.

Mrs. Kerry was the 2003 recipient of the Albert Schweitzer Gold Medal for Humanitarianism. Melania posed nude and in handcuffs for GQ in 2000.


Small enough, Bob?

Obviously you have a very poor understanding of the importance of the First Lady in past presidential administrations. You may want to brush up on the Wilson administration if you get a chance.

Sure, trumpkins. I'll get right on that.

Hardly anyone.

Worst case scenario she is guilty of nothing more than me and millions of other people did for our High School term papers and reports back in the day.
