RE: outstanding....Because?

Is this what made it "outstanding"?.....

Not plagiarized?

So it isn't "stealing" when the authour of a speechhas written the words/phrase...

Using that logic.....it means it WAS STEALING when Melania Trump's speech, which was found to have several lines uttered by Michelle Obama during her 2008 Democratic convention speech.

If what everyone ever said once became forbidden to others, soon there would be no communication at all. If a woman said "I love my husband" in a highly public statement, then nobody else could say that unless it's "Plagiarized". If she said her husband was a "bold person" then nobody else could say that without "plagiarizing". If only they'd given this once over to MLK's gross plagiarizations when he was in college, he'd have been kicked out over it.

Intended in the other post you made about her.

As for Donald Trump Jr, he did a good speech, and helped New York state put his father over the top as a delegate.

One of the most impressive speeches however was by the judge who basically convicted Hillary of all her crimes against the US.

4 or 5 lines of text that are word for word exactly the same? NOT plagiarized? Give over, James.

4 or 5 lines is NOT a 3 word claim "I love my husband".

So there goes that argument.

Compare a college essay to a speech at a political convention?

I don't think so.

Melania condemning "the other side" WHILE using THEIR words to say VOTE FOR ME, because I believe the same as "the other side"?

HYPOCRISY?

Melania WAS trying to show TheRUMP was "different than the other side" wasn't she?

word-for-word speeches that they plagiarized from someone else, that gets a pass from liberals........Since the liberals couldn't find anything else to biotch about regarding the first night of the RNC Convention, they had to find 'something'.......and what did the HC machine choose to pick? The typical HC response.....go after the woman and demonize her which is what HC has ALWAYS done. It's not working anymore because people are smart enough now to realize that both Reps and Dems (Michelle) can feel the SAME about their husbands and can say the same thing. Wow....what a surprise.....both parties having agreement. What a concept.
