Melania's speech may have been as good as the RNC could have hoped, but it likely failed [View all]

The speech was well written, including the first Trump words of sympathy for people who died of covid. It was delivered as well as anything I have heard Melanie do.

But, if the goal was to reach women in the suburbs, there is NO CONTEST between Melania and Dr Biden. Dr Biden's story of dating Joe Biden and bonding with his two little boys, who tragically lost their mom is compelling and she is someone easy to relate to. Contrast a model who dated a married man cheating on his second wife. Melania has very little in common with any woman in the suburbs. Further, though the RNC pushed it, she is also not a modern Jackie because she does not have the class. She is what she is, to paraphrase Trump and we all know what that is.
