Speech lacked substance. She'll be applauded for the language barrier, but it wasn't as humanizing of a speech as Ann Romney's was in 2012.

What a joke this entire campaign is.  And his followers are eating it up with no idea they are buying snake oil.

It's hilarious.

The Tweet in there about if you had done that as an undergrad you would have been expelled is very correct. Most honor codes would have called for at the least suspension for that.

But, since plagiarism has been pointed out before by people on the political stage and their followers have tried to dismiss it as nothing to be concerned about, I see nothing that will come from this.

I'm having people post videos to me showing Obama using the same line as other speeches and saying "they all use the same speech writer".  A stump speech somewhere is bad...at the convention the same as was originally given is hilarious!
