My point is she is not the one campaigning, I have no problem people ripping Trump just not a fan of attacking the spouse. Then again he takes shots at Bill so I guess that's Karma.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
In politics, lying is called out, especially if someone who some believe should be the first lady is lying about a)plagiarism b)her education c)her talents while demonizing the current first lady.

She's campaigning for him so I'd say it's fair game.
I don't really jive with people making fun of her being an immigrant, but cmon there's nothing wrong with taking the piss over her speech
Yeah the speech is fair game, but now this is starting to stray into, stupid, immigrant, drop out land and I don't see the need for that.

I would think sinking to his level would be making fun of her because of her race or because she is a women.

Yeah if she didn't specify the languages, then it is piss easy to speak 6 languages if you are from the Balkans region.
Croatian/ Serbian/ Bosnian are all pretty much the same.
Macedonian and Slovenian are slightly different but still very similar. So you already have 5+ English = 6
Also since she said that she had a degree from a University in Slovenia that probably means she has some degree. Because over here state Universities are named after cities, therefore she probably has a degree from a private university and some of those will give them out for money like candy.

It's just like the speech. The cover-up is worse than the crime. She probably didn't graduate. Okay, that's fine. That would probably play even better to their base in their weird attempt to seem somewhat relatable. Why fabricate details and then keep doing it when you know everything is going to be under scrutiny? It makes no sense. And then passing it out at the convention.
There is obviously some friction or miscommunication going on inside his camp. I suspect that key people are either getting left out of the loop on things OR they're being told to heel when they do bark up and make a suggestion. Even a fresh out of college campaign staff member would say it's better to spin her not having a degree than it would be to lie about her having one. You don't even have to spin the former. She was a model, we're over it.

She is campaigning. She is speaking at an official party forum to promote the election of trump. She's not being targeted in her innocent free time. She's pushing false claims to boost her credibility as a spokesperson for her husband.

Contextually speaking, it's going to take a lot more than questioning and uncovering the credibility of a potential first lady compared to all the shit Trump said.
And, I'm not saying people need to fight dirty, but let's not act as if this is a normal mudslinging election. Trump is a dangerous man. People can't hang back and be nice. So long as people keep it civil and keep it factual, I don't seen a issue with it.
Sure, it's not the best route in terms of having a discussion, but we currently aren't in the best place due to him even being the GOP nominee anyway.
This as well. Nobody is aiming for her because she's Trump's wife. They are aiming for her because she's in the spotlight.

Not that there would be anything inherently wrong with that, but can you imagine how "different" (or just plain worse) things would be regarding criticisms if Michelle Obama falsified her level of qualification and copied Barbara(?) Bush's first lady speech in 2008 elections?

The crack campaign team just Streisand Effected her professional website:

Again if a degree is listed in her immigration application that's actually quite serious.

Although I also agree with everyone and think she hasn't graduated college at all, I'd just like to point out that in these parts of the world you don't have to graduate to have a college degree.
All you have to do is pay enough money and receive one, you can even choose a field of study. Some people graduate and have never even seen the University building, all you need to know is the number of the bank account.
Not saying that's true in her case, but I know quite a few people that "graduated" that way, mostly in Bosnia. There are even a couple of geniuses that earned their degree, masters and a doctorate in a span of 6 months...

No, but they'll put up with it because they're terrified of their constituents replacing them.

I also agree with leaving spouses out of things, but she IS part of the campaign, and if she DID consent to and IS aware of this lie about her fictional degree, she sure as hell should be called out on it.

She was campaigning for him at the official convention. Let's not act like she was innoncently living her own life and is being picked on.

Yeah, weird. If she skipped finishing college in favor of embarking on a successful career, that would at worst be a nonissue and at best would be something that a lot of Trump's base would strongly approve of anyway. What an unforced error.

It's good. But the original was just perfect.
I'd say that's not that unrealistic for someone born in ex-yugoslavia. A bit depending on how you define language and fluency most people from that region at my workplace speak a similar amount.
Indeed. Mine is merely sloppy seconds.
