Well that went better than the convention speech. Surprised that she hasn’t given a few more. ---

And… We will probably see at least one more in the next few days. I think many women will be looking for her dress, silly, maybe, but she will help the vote with mothers. ---

Well then, thanks for the new thread. But I’m not sure what we’re supposed to talk about. Can you at least provide a link to the speech? Some commentary? What was the content? What made it good? ---

Sorry about that and point well taken. One of the topics Melania touched upon was cyber bullying. For many parents it probably hit the right button. When a child suffers so to do parents. Many women could put aside Donald’s 3:00 am tweets, and side with Malania, sounds twisted but true. As to what made it good? Not sure I would say that, could be that it was just better than I expected or maybe it was that she appears to read from a TelePrompTer better than her husband. I didn’t provide a link I could if you like? ---

Oct 3 ? Could you, perhaps mean Nov 3 ? ---

Apparently she cribbed some lines from [Marla Maples](https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/794252255658725376), of all people. ---

Did she say anything that had anything to do with the upcoming election, or was it mostly “Bad stuff is bad!” generic stuff like what you mentioned? ---

If she can just take Donald’s phone away, cyber bullying in this country will drop by 20% ---

SA as a side note I walked into the kitchen and my son was watching bob’s burgers, it just seemed wrong to hear Archers voice on Bob Belcher.🙂 ---

If people imagine H Jon Benjamin’s voice while reading my posts, that would bring me much joy 🙂
