Listening to Biden -- my whole demeanor changed.

[TruckFump]

So nice to have a calm feeling come over me, a feeling I can trust the speaker. Reassuring to hear questions responded to on point, no slurs, no lies, a serious and calm attitude which conveys to me that he is listening and responding to the question.

What an excellent change.

OUR NATION NEEDS JOE BIDEN!!!!

1. I couldn't agree more.

[Doreen]

2. Just hearing his voice makes me feel warm and safe.

[StarryNite]

3. Yes, exactly

4. Biden Was My Choice From the Beginning But He and His Campaign Have Exceeded My Expectations

I have had a couple of friends who supported other candidates say they now feel only Biden could win against Trump. I don't think anyone else could match his ability to expand his base of support and attract others to his campaign. He's so special in so many ways. He was the right man for this time.

6. Kamala was my first choice.

When she dropped out, I went to Biden. My partiality to Kamala I believe comes from the fact that I am a California, a female and a lawyer. I have liked her for a long time and have supported her in the Cal AG and Sen elections. I have always liked and respected Joe Biden. He is a great person. His personal history says it all. All around great guy. So, it was easy to go from Kamala to Joe.

I am sooooooooooooo pleased beyond belief that they are running mates. IMO, we as Democrats have the very best to offer to our once great nation!

15. Kamala was mine too. Biden was my first choice in 2008

so this is the second time that my presidential choice was selected for VP

8. If you believe in the "things happen for a reason" theory ...

all the times Joe didn't win the nomination were because he is needed so badly NOW. Back before we knew for certain that Hillary was running in 2016 and then the tragedy of Beau, I was very much in favor of Joe to run in 2016. A number of my friends scoffed at me but they sure are all in for him now

12. Biden wasn't Jon Stewart's first choice, but in

an interview, conversation, with Colbert I think it was, he had come to believe Biden was the best choice and what the country so badly needs. The losses in Biden's life, and his ability to empathize/relate with the loss that we all have been suffering, are far more important than any policy differences.

[hibbing]

13. I'm actually getting....excited

At first it was all vote against the trumper, now I am voting FOR Joe, it is a different mindset. I am really liking the straightforward "attacks" against trump.


Peace

14. I've been a fan of Biden's

Ever since I can remember and I'm 74.

[SharonClark]

5. He answered every question honestly and skillfully.

He doesn’t lash out at reporters or ‘negative’ questions. He’s much better than I ever thought he would be.

[somaticexperiencing]

7. Absolutely! No contest. Go Joe Go! Just be yourself, and it will be such an improvement.

It's amazing when someone sane and intelligible with some moral courage and decency starts to speak as President.

How could anyone choose the other flavor?

Seriously, I want to invite them all to NYC for a friendly game of three card monte.

9. In my phone banking the term I hear most

is calming influence.

[OldManTarHeel]

17. He does seem to have that effect on folks

I really like Dr. Jill Biden as much as the VP.

[TruckFump]

21. Same! EOM

[George II]

10. I wanted that press conference to go on forever, it was great. Of course on Twitter trump's idiots..

...immediately started attacking it.

When you have zero substance, attack the opponent.

[tinymontgomery]

11. Loved what he said about the fact checking scroll

Loved what he said about the fact checking scroll after Trump would answer.

[getagrip_already]

16. does anyone have a link?

I can't find it anywhere.

18. three words on twitter did that to me.

"WHEN WE PREVAIL..."

[Kid Berwyn]

19. Outstanding message!

OUR NATION NEEDS JOE BIDEN!!!!

[radius777]

20. Joe has a fiery folksiness that works for him.

His message is good so far, successfully refuting Trump's bogus 'law and order/scare the suburbs' message.

But he needs to hammer more about the economy, that the stock market and the economy are not the same thing - basically hit more of a populist tone on this issue - to lower Trump's approval numbers on the economy. This is important for appealing to more working class whites and latinos as well as progressives.
