(5) Unless the criticism being leveled against Melania is coming from someone who can point to similar comments which were just as critical of Joe Biden's plagiarization history, this is simply politics as usual;
Three things.
(1) Biden dropped out of the race. There was a severe price that was paid. So your analogy is telling us this is a big deal.
(2) Biden quoted a Labor leader. He didn't quote the person that his party had been demonizing for 8 years. It just makes you look like a liar when you demonize someone for 8 years then stand their cheering for someone who is quoting that person word for word.
(3) It's over. Stick a fork in it. Post all you want. The verdict is in. The RNC was a disaster.
Three things.
(1) Again, Melania isn't running for anything. You needn't wonder which charge I believe is worse, that of a
candidate that has plagiarized, or a
candidate's wife that has plagiarized. (And again, I don't believe it was
Melania who lifted those particular words...).
(2) I don't know of
anybody who has "demonized" Michelle Obama. And the criticism should be leveled against the act of plagiarism, regardless of whose words were being lifted.
(3) Your particular verdict was in before any RNC speeches were delivered; we get that. Whether or not the RNC is a "disaster", which is to say how voters respond to the event, remains to be seen. It might be a good idea to let the event wrap up before delivering any pronouncements about its success or failure, no? So I'll be keeping my fork handy (but unstuck) for the time being...
