the more I love him. I wasn't that keen on voting for him but he's got a huge heart and it shows.
I'm very happy he is going to lead us out of this mess and make the stress disappear.

Go Joe!

With his years of experience, his familiarity and solid relationships with those who are the best on any issue, and a compassionate heart, he's perfect for the job and the times we're facing.

He has lessened my stress levels so much since the results! I really think he’s the perfect leader for the whole country right now. 45 has turned our country inside out and Joe’s calm leadership will give us all a better future. Unless 45 ruins it on his way out the door because he is an evil revenge seeking maniac.

Like you said. Yesterday there was news that he was dismantling the Open Skies Treaty which provides surveillance on Russian military activity for us and our allies, today he's considering pardoning Michael Flynn, there's always something! I will always have a resentment that we weren't able to remove him back in January, despite the compelling evidence that was presented back then! And that was even before we knew about the coming global pandemic - but he did! The January inauguration can't come soon enough!

And I don't know about the Bidens, but I'd be pretty hesitant about moving into the White House after all the virus cases that Trump and anyone associated with him have brought there!

Wishing you a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving, my friend! And looking forward to better days ahead!

He listens and he really does what he thinks is is best for everyone. I trust him and I trust his judgement.

As you said, we couldn't ask for a more experienced leader, exactly what we need desperately right now. He does have that unique experience, likely the most experienced in our history, and since there is so much to be done, he's the perfect leader for these times.

He can still hear his father tossing and turning in that bed. He wants people to rest easier. You could say that about all Democrats but few approach his depth of feeling.
