Up until she spoke, the media had nothing but praise for her, and her ability to speak 4 languages and on and on, when she was nothing more than just a pretty face married to a disgusting liar who has no problem cheating innocent people.

Her job was to introduce herself as the potential next first lady and to humanize herself, as well as her husband. In other words, to perpetrate a fraud on the American public and convince them that they were both something that they obviously were not. He who we have come to know as someone who is not beyond using whatever means necessary to separate an unsuspecting public from their money. For her to have plagiarized the part of her speech which related to the values her family 'supposedly' passed on to her, thereby portraying herself as a fraud is unforgivable. She wasn't asked to write the Gettysburg Address; she was supposed to introduce herself to America, and she lied and said that she wrote something that she didn't. This makes her a liar just like her lying husband, who in every speech he gives, calls Hillary a liar and a cheat. So when you live by the sword, you perish by the sword.

Also, in speaking about her own coming to America and obtaining her U.S. citizenship, she was able to accomplish what many people in the world dream for themselves and for their children, only she was able to accomplish this by moving to the head of the line with the assistance of her billionaire husband. A husband who BTW lies about anything and everything, everytime he opens his mouth and speaks. And for those who say that she never asked to be in this role, well this is the bargain she made with the devil, in exchange for being able to have the lifestyle for which her husband provided in exchange for helping him get the thing that he aspired to , the Presidency of the United States of America. Life has trade offs, and Melania had a choice. Just like she chose last week not to attend the announcement by her husband's choice of his VP because she had a falling out with her step-children over them forcing a choice for VP on their day whom he obviously did not want.

If this had been the other way around and it was Michelle Obama who was guilty of trying to pass off something as her own, which wasn't, the GOP would be ready to run the entire family out of town. Instead everyone wants to find someone, anyone, to blame for this mess, other than the person who is primarily responsible for attempting to perpetrate a fraud on a gullible public who wanted so badly to believe that the beautiful woman on the stage, with the creamy colored skin was better than the people who were currently occupying the White House, and was the answer to all their prayers to Make America Great Again. And she turned out to be just as much of a fraud as her lying husband.

Her husband who BTW, is the most unqualified person to every seek the office of the Presidency of the United States and the GOP knows this, and should he win in November would have the power to wreak havoc on not only this country but the entire world. And his voters could care less, and for that reason, I could care less for any humiliation this has caused her.

1. I still feel bad for her but not as much because of what you said

Initially I was like wow...who set up poor Melania like this. But as this thing has gone on and knowing that Michelle Obama would've been crucified if she had done the same, my sympathy is a bit less. I mean there's so much mental gymnastics going on in trying to absolve this woman of any wrongdoing. Deep down I think we all know she didn't write the speech, but then you have her interview with Matt Lauer saying she wrote it with as little help as possible. So you can't have it both ways and if she was any kind of independent person she would herself get out in front of this and say what happened. The excuses that some are coming up with now in terms of "My Little Pony" and the rest are ridiculous.

It is a complete disaster but its what the GOP deserves.

9. She is the modern War Bride, the bride of a fascist bastard who is waging war on America.

2. You figure that ice queen would give two shits

About anybody?
She was out there selling defective merchandise last night, she is getting what she deserves.

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. Turned her out for one stinking day and this is what they got.

Good for them.

[tinrobot]

3. She was trying to be the First Lady she never wanted to be in the first place.

She was dragged into this by her husband and she said she never wanted to speak.

So, yes, I do have some sympathy.

[trof]

15. She's a pawn. Arm candy. Trophy wife. An accessory. Like cufflinks. Clueless.

[tinrobot]

22. Possibly true. But, regardless, she's in way over her head.

She married a real estate guy who allowed her to remain pretty and clueless. Not something most would choose, but she has the right to do that. It's her life.

Then, all of a sudden, she has to step into the brutal arena of politics and make speeches she's not qualified to make.

You might as well have asked a toy poodle to defend you from a bear attack.

[trof]

24. Yep.

[toddwv]

4. I feel a bit bad for her.

She's gotta take The Donald's "fried twinkie" every now and then.

[OldHippieChick]

7. Her choice

For whatever reason - still her choice. She's a big girl. Needs to put on her big girl pants

[Johnny2X2X]

5. Hmm

The fact that Melania is not getting the lion's share of the blame is a little insulting to her. The media is viewing her as incapable and dismissing her as a child.

People are right that Michelle would have been held to a higher standard, but that's because Michelle has degrees from Princeton and Harvard and is accomplished in her career.

One is a lawyer trained at Princeton and Harvard, the other is a college dropout from The U of Slovenia. I guess they get treated accordingly.

18. A college dropout still lying about that on her own website:

<<After obtaining a degree in design and architecture at University in Slovenia, Melania was jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan, finally settling in New York in 1996. >>

6. What first attracted you to the BILLIONAIRE Donald J Trump ?

[glennward]

8. Thank you. I was hating myself for feeling sorry for her. nt

[Dustlawyer]

12. They blame everyone but themselves. All of their talk about "personal responsibility" when directed

at the poor and minorities seems to evaporate quickly when they screw up and get caught! Typical Republican hypocrisy!

[AgadorSparticus]

29. THAT'S the truth! Nt.

[Tikki]

13. tRump doesn't have the same feeling for his wife that he has for himself...He said he could get...

away with anything and people would still vote for him.

Then, why didn't he just let his wife just talk off the cuff like he does?

He doesn't respect her or trust her with his franchise...that is obvious.

14. I say screw HER! We all make choices in life that lead us to an eventual place. The place she found

isn't healthy - that is for sure.

[pansypoo53219]

16. 2 ego monsters.

[63splitwindow]

17. Thank you. Very well stated! K&R

[Demobrat]

19. Sorry for her?

if she had actually written her own speech none of this would have happened.

[jimlup]

20. I do feel sorry for her actually

she is being used and will be thrown away when she is no longer useful. I do feel sorry for her.

[Feeling the Bern]

21. I don't feel bad for the modern day Carla Petacci one bit.

[dpatbrown]

23. BINGO!!

[Cha]

25. Excellent OP.. thanks pj

[lunamagica]

26. K&R. Perfecty said. Thank you

[redstatebluegirl]

27. She has had so much botox her face doesn't show expression.

Between her and Oklahoma Gov Mary Fallin they should buy stock in Botox.

[Lord Magus]

28. Anybody involved with Trump's "Make America White Again" campaign deserves our contempt.

That very much includes his wife.

[Capt. Obvious]

30. She's no Theresa Heinz Kerry
