I was expecting a great speech from Biden tonight. I wasn't prepared for a greater speech

than even last night's.

This one left me with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat.

And overwhelming feelings of relief and gratitude that we have this great man to lead us forward, after years of darkness.

Biden’s speech was better than anything Obama ever delivered, and I would never have thought that possible. It struck a perfect chord and was incredibly inspirational. Kamala was impressive, and I expect that she will be President in her own right on the future.

My policitical/intellectual/stragetic mind like Kamala's better - but as a person of faith - which has been used as a political prop - Joe's was exactly what I've needed for 4 years.

I burst into tears. We've lived under an anti-science president for four years, and it's killed hundreds of thousands of us.

We lost four years.

We lost faith in our national character.

We lost much of President Obama's administrative legacy.

We lost decency.

We lost civility.

We lost hope.

We lost our souls.

Now, God willing, we can get them all back...
