It sure looks like Melania Trump copied her speech from Michelle Obama

The first night of the Republican National Convention ended dominated by one bizarre question: Was Melania Trump?s convention speech plagiarized from a Michelle Obama convention speech from 2008?

Trump delivered several lines on Monday night that sound almost identical to some from Obama?s 2008 convention address. Now, these are not banal lines that you might expect in any speech given by a political spouse. They're lines of actual substance and style, which is why people are calling this plagiarism -- not a coincidence.

Watch for yourself. Here's a very good way to get a sense of how close they are:

And here's the text of the key moment in Trump?s speech, which is not much better for Melania:

My parents impressed on me the values: that you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect. They taught me to show the values and morals in my daily life. That is the lesson that I continue to pass along to our son.

And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. [Cheering] Because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.

This is from Michelle Obama?s speech in 2008:

And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them.

And Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values, and pass them on to the next generation. Because we want our children ? and all children in this nation ? to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work for them.

You can see a video comparison here. The similarity was first pointed out by Jarrett Hill on Twitter.

CORRECTION: Melania stole a whole graph from Michelle's speech. #GOPConvention

There?s no explanation (yet) for how this happened. Certainly big time speeches like this aren't written solo. And they tend to be vetted and edited by the campaign. Unfortunately for Trump, before the speech, she told NBC's Matt Lauer: "I wrote it...with a little help as possible."

CNN reported that Melania Trump had been working with a speechwriter "for the last five to six weeks, honing her speech."
