    Biden had to drop out of the 1988 presidential election because of plagiarism and exaggerating his academic record.

    Biden finally admitted to the plagiarism, but the backlash forced him to drop out of the 1988 Presidential election.

    Why isn’t this an issue in the 2020 presidential election?

    Maybe Biden doesn’t remember 1988?

    I don't think you really see honesty as an issue in the 2020 election do you?

    If you're a trumper the last thing you want to talk about is someone else being a liar.

    Trump has never been accused of plagiarism !


    Biden admitted he was guilty of plagiarism in 1988 & it forced him to drop out of the race.

    He did have dementia in 1988 , so he probably don’t even remember it.

    Why the other democrats did not mention this fact baffles me.

    Dishonesty seldom hurts a DP candidate during the nomination process. ;-)

    True & the media was far more objective in 1988.

    Biden has been accused of sexual assault and the MSM did there best to avoid reporting on it because it would hurt “their candidate”.

    The DP's nomination process is very Biden friendly. Only the votes of the party bosses count. ;-)

    It's an issue but the right won't bother with it until after the convention. Nobody is going to spend resources campaigning against Biden until his nomination is secured...

    The Democrats have no one else so nothing else matters, just watch him try to hold a town meeting or his statements in interviews. Any other time he would be toast.

    Good point, but it was an issue in 1988 during the primary & today nobody even mentions it.

    Biden got a free pass all cycle. Mostly because he was so irrelevant. He tanked the first three contests and Bloomberg bought the DNC. Nobody expected Biden to be around until they saw what a dud Bloomberg was and Bernie might run away with it. The DNC saved Biden because everyone else was even worse...

    Plagiarism is when you don’t have an original thought & steal someone’s else’s statements.

    That’s Joe Biden !

    Because it might as well be ancient history. Look at the public’s attention span, you think they care about 1988?
    Maybe it will com up in the general, and I think it speaks to Biden’s character in a way. On the other hand , he did fess up to it, so I don’t see it as a major issue trump can stick him with.
