Obviously Melania Trump was lying when she said she wrote her own speech. The speech she delivered, quite well, was obviously professionally written. It was written by someone who doesn't like Trump very much and wanted to embarrass him.  (The embedded Rickroll was a very good clue.)

What it said, cutting through all the bullshit, is that the Republicans are lying about President Obama. He a competent President, running a competent administration, fairly, and he's not a Muslim and he's not "leading from behind" nor is he destroying the military or the health care system. 

It's the worst possible news for the white supremacist Republican Party. A black woman, the President's wife, spoke words at a DNC that were so good that they stood up and cheered when a white woman from Slovenia who married the candidate said them on stage at the RNC eight years later.

So which is it? Are the Republicans inspired in admiration of Obama, or do they deride him as an inferior black man elected by weak liberals who don't love their country and secretly want to destroy it? 

If the Repubs had some truth on their side they might answer that question. But they're so corrupt, so dishonest, such easy liars and cheats, and are so far from the truth, so mired in their own incompetence that such questions simply don't have answers. 

Obviously some Republicans have a sense of honor, but you have to wonder how much of it will be left after the humiliation of the Trump candidacy.

PS: I would like to meet the speech writer and shake his or her hand.
