BREAKING: Melania Trump's speech cribbed a whole paragraph from a MICHELLE OBAMA speech

From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life: that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise; that you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son, and we need to pass those lessons on to the many generation to follow.

Do not amp up this distraction from the horrors that Trump himself represents.

Which is bigger? Trump blaming BLM for police officer deaths or some boilerplate platitudes in a speech?

Keep the focus on GOP misogyny / racism and Trump lunacy / conning.
