Ms.Lib

And Joy is 100% correct. The right would be calking Michelle lazy and a plagiarist.

#MelaniaTrump proved tonight she is total opposite of #MichelleO. No anger. No complaints. Just about what can happen through opportunity.

You have to read some of the responses to him.

(59,511 posts)Along with Michelle, the media held them to a standard far higher than Melania - finding much to criticize. Melania's bio has been inflated suggesting that the Trump team felt it fell short. Contrast that with the pride the three Democrats deservedly had in their wives.
