It's Hillary's fault. See:

Also, quoting from the WSJ article:
|New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is slated to speak Tuesday
|at the convention, said the similarities in the speeches aren't a
|cause for concern when "93% of the speech is completely different
|from Michelle Obama's speech."

What a great defense to the charge of plagiarism. We have a

In direct answer to the question, a plagiarized paragraph in
a student's paper has always been plagiarism. Also, the words
do not have to be the same if the ideas, especially as sentences,
follow the same order to the same effect.
