Joe Biden hit a home run.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I watched the entire speech while I was on the treadmill. I felt as if I was divinely inspired to run faster, harder, and longer. He's pretty good at this politics thing.

1. what people saw today...

.... was the man this country needs to lead us out of the darkness. It's that simple.

Good! Biden is talking about this!

[quickesst]

25. that about sums it up

[Skya Rhen]

26. I have always wondered when someone would speak this evident truth to the American people...

Thanks, Joe, for being the one...

[quickesst]

29. Astonishing....

.... this has not come up before Joe entered the race, which incidentally, was the day I let out a big sigh of relief.

2. Maybe this?

5. LOL

4. I knew I was for Biden last summer when I heard him speak.

He’s very much like Obama in the way you feel welcomed and visible to them even tho you are just a face in the crowd.

How their faces express shear pleasure at times. And how they love their families and other people’s families.

It does feel safe and honest when in their presence.

6. A sense of hope is a tonic, and Joe's just the guy to deliver it.

We. WE can do this. I'm tired of the hate. It's eating us alive. We can be strong and fight for what's right without hate. Without the fear and division that that monster in OUR White House creates for nothing but his own gain.

GoJoe!

[RHMerriman]

27. Well said...

Well said...

Americans can fight for what it right and just without hatred... as has been said:

I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight; I can divine it by conscience. And from what I see I am sure it bends towards justice.

7. Yes he did

Love Joe

[mcar]

8. Very good speech

Joe is not my 1st choice, but as a sister Scranton native, I will work my ass off for him if he is the nominee.

[Kurt V.]

13. you took the words right out of my mouth...

Except for the sister scranton part.

9. I liked the whole presentation

Jill gave a nice introduction
Joe delivered a timely speech with a solid platform that a lot of people will relate to

They did it in a state Trump almost has to win

I've always, always liked Joe Biden. He did well today.

10. Finally!!!! a voice in the wilderness

[LibFarmer]

11. I agree completely

He was amazing ... with hope and positive thoughts instead of egging on an angry crowd holding pitchforks and torches.

The difference is like night and day.

[emmaverybo]

12. He looked fit and ready to lead. I love his message about the importance of driving the

haters back under their rocks and the urgency of preserving our singular democracy.
His reference to the civil war and Lincoln’s words was absolutely on target.
He’s always been one of our better political speakers. He doesn't’ give a speech. He connects and communicates.

[ananda]

15. Good!

I missed it, but I'm not surprised!

Go Joe!

[Cha]

16. Thank You!

[trickyguy]

17. Loved it all. What a beautiful presentation. The National Anthem sung inspiringly, the Gospel Choir

giving me goose bumps, Jill making me proud of her presence and Joe

who did hit a home run today. And there's more to him than just that.

Thanks everyone who made this a truly beautiful and patriotic day.

[George II]

22. Yes it was. When the Gospel Choir was on the screen, I had the sound off. My wife came in....

....and said, "are you watching a funeral?" (they were dressed in black!!)

The choir was a perfect touch to an inspiring hour or two.

[wellst0nev0ter]

18. I must have seen a different speech

The man is clearly stuck in the Tip&Ronnie past. He says he's able to work with repukes to pass legislation, but he cites Obamacare that got NO repuke votes, and the watered-down Recovery Act that only got three repuke votes.

It was thanks to that weak stimulus, which was watered down to lure the non-existant repuke votes, that the economy was not able to recover fast enough, which partially contributed to Democrats losing their legislative majorities in 2010 and 2014.

Then he says "let's stop fighting and let's start fixing." I got news for you, if you don't fight the other side and gain insurmountable power, there's no fixing anything.

Hopefully his thinking evolves in his campaign, but what I can see now is a half-measure against trumpism. I am sick and tired of seeing half-measures.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. It was the greatest speech I have ever seen

But then I wasn't around for The Gettysburg Address, Lincoln's Second Inaugural, or the Sermon On The Mount.

[George II]

23. For today's day and age, considering the prevailing political climate in 2019, it was excellent.

[highplainsdem]

24. LOL!

[Gothmog]

31. Biden is running a great campaign-slow and steady

I love the speech

[Skya Rhen]

28. So, no Recovery Act would have been better than a watered down one? Then the economy would

have recovered faster... Wow...

Obviously "repukes" votes were needed, otherwise the democrats would have passed the ideal bill that they wanted, with just their own votes.

Just wow...

[colsohlibgal]

20. Great

He is not our only power hitter, We have pretty potent lineup.

Again if he is the nominee i’ll Be all in. Lots to like there but his age concerns me, as well as his support for that crime bill. And as a woman I think it is past time for a female president.....of course minus the Electoral College and Russian hanky panky HRC would be in charge, not that Orange Creep.

Whatever we have to win in 2020.
