Melania did a fine job last night, and if there is a test for prospective First Ladies, passed it. But there is no doubt that the campaign staff failed her badly by copying passages from Michelle Obama in 2008.

Melania Trump -- Chris Christie Insists Speech Wasn’t PlagiarizedNew Jersey governor and Donald Trump ally Chris Christie defended the speech, saying, “There’s no way that Melania Trump was plagiarizing Michelle Obama’s speech.”“I just don’t see it,” Christie told CNN’s Jamie Gangel in an interview Tuesday, adding later, “If we’re talking about 7% of a speech, that was really, universally considered to be a good performance by Melania. I know her. There’s no way that Melania Trump was plagiarizing Michelle Obama’s speech.”
