“In writing her handsome speech, Melania’s team of writers took notes on her life’s inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking”, Trump spokesman Jason Miller said. “I certainly don’t. But I came to believe some months ago that Donald Trump is the singular leader that can get this country back on track”. “They’re like Soviet-era department stores that are run for the benefit of the clerks and not the customers”.
The chairman of the Utah delegation, Phill Wright, told CNN’s Dana Bash that despite “arm-twisting” by party and Trump loyalists, he will be casting his state’s vote for Ted Cruz, who won the support of 78 percent of Utah Republicans in that state’s primary.

“So the Trump campaign plagiarised from a Hillary speechwriter”, he said, piling more embarrassment on the businessman’s campaign team.
“It is not given to us to know the future”, Sessions said. “I feel badly for her because now they’re dumping on her”.
“Congratulations, Dad. We love you”, he said.
“I just don’t see it”, New Jersey governor Chris Christie, a former candidate and now a senior adviser to Trump told CNN, saying that 93 per cent of the speech was different from Ms Obama’s speech. “When you are looking at and scrutinizing the GOP nominee’s wife to give the largest speech, in front of 35 million people, there is no detail that you should overlook”.
“Melania Trump said, “The strength of your dreams and willingness to work for them, ‘” Spicer said”.
