If you watch Melania's, I mean Michelle's speech again, you can CLEARLY

see that Melania is waiting for an applause line that Michelle got, that she was expecting, but it didn't happen.

I would submit that not only did Melania Trump *steal* from Michelle Obama's speech, she PRACTICED it to Michelle Obama too.

I also don't think that this fall gal really exists.

I think it's because she used Michelle's DELIVERY, not just the speech LaydeeBug Jul 2016 #3

because I caught that as well, but I figured that the prompter had "pause for applause".

why would she (or the tele-prompter operator) think that which would get applause from a Democratic audience, would get one from a republican crowd?

Which begs the question: How did Melania NOT recognize the same language in her speech?

If it smells like Trump, it must be a con.
