Is Michele Obama going to reference Melania's plagiarism at the convention???

There are so many fun things for her to say....

That she is delivering her own speech tonight...or she could even start to do her speech from 2008 and then recall that she heard it somewhere before!

"Last week, Donald Trump's third wife said in her speech, 'He will never, ever, give up. And, most importantly, he will never, ever, let you down.' My Democratic friends, please join President Barack Obama's first wife and our next president Hillary Clinton's first husband in welcoming the man who said those words first, the great Rick Astley!"

I know, I know, it would make for a great line, "They think we're so terrible, but they steal our speeches." Just doesn't seem worth it to sully the First Lady, Michelle Obama with getting in the gutter with them. Now if some other speaker wanted to say something, then I'm all for it.

I don't mean clumping around like an elephant. Maybe something that no one could actually be sure it was about the speech but the media could spend a few hours wondering.
