Very pleased to see VP Bidens 2nd Qtr... good numbers.. 21 million..I have one concern

[Peacetrain]

Hope it cools down some here. because our humidity and heat.. it was 112 heat index a few days ago in Iowa City.. that is tough and hope all the candidates marching in parades are prepared for that..

One thing at the debate with VP Biden had me concerned.. and will keep my eye open.. its not anything that would keep him from doing his job as President if he got the nod.. its the same condition I have.. hearing loss.. he was hesitant to raise his hand when a question was asked .. he put his hand up hesitantly.. and I do the same thing if I am hearing everything the other person is saying..

Sanders is over opening an office in IA City.. looks like a fairly good gathering there..

1. I think that he had some difficulty hearing one question

when they were moderator was having a mic problem.

3. might be that..husband says I do the same thing

he can tell when I am uncertain that I heard something correctly .. get a look on my face.. and we both thought VP Biden was making that same look, when he held up his hand for a question asked by the moderator.. he was hesitant about it..

2. Hearing Aids work just fine.

Even Bill Clinton wears them. At least Biden has a clear mind.

Chuck Grassley? Now that guy can not hear, even with his hearing aids. thay is why Grassley and Warren passed a bill for OTC Hearing Aids starting next year. Huge rip offs in that Industry!

4. I do not wear hearing aids yet.. but I sure do ask people to repeat a LOT

5. They are as common as glasses.

No big deal anymore, one third of the people I know have them. Another third could use them.

6. In Biden's defence, others also seemed to have trouble hearing some of the questions nt

9. I did not get to see much of the debate.. I was too busy feeding people..

Have you ever noticed people who are interested in politics, are constantly hungry.. you meet them at restaurants and coffee shops to get ready for caucus.. (and I imagine the same for primaries). .. it always around food.. so I did not notice that.. and the only reason I noticed it was that hubby brought up how much that looked like me when I am uncertain if I have heard something correctly

10. That's what it looked like to me, too.

There were lots of audio problems.

[emulatorloo]

11. Agreed, NBC had a lot of audio screwups

[BeyondGeography]

7. Maybe standing next to Bernie temporarily blew his hearing out

[Peacetrain]

8. Rofl.. I have to give Bernie credit.. I have no problem hearing him..

there was another candidate.. I was upstairs getting snacks.. one of the women.. I could hear her all the way upstairs.. everyone else was in the family room watching the debate..when we got back downstairs with the snacks everyone looked like they had been sitting next to an air horn.. her voice really carried

12. Joe Biden raised $21.5 million for his White House bid, campaign says

Biden out raised sanders

Biden outraised Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who was the top raiser in the first quarter. Sanders reported raising $18 million in contributions to his presidential campaign in the second quarter and transferred another $6 million from other accounts.

13. Thanks for that, Goth!

15. A lot of people are concerned about Trump raising $106 million during the quarter.

But Biden, Sanders, Buttigieg combined raised around $65 million. We have not heard from Warren and Harris yet. There are the other candidates outside the top five that likely each raised $3-8 million. Add to that that some democrats do not contribute during primaries between democrats. Basically, Trump is going to need a lot more than $106 million when we turn all our money guns on him after our primary is over.

I hated the Russian crap on Clinton’s health last cycle. Russia told voters that Clinton was about to die and some voters believed this crap. For example, JPR had some threads pushing these stories that it was sad

Joe Biden is in great physical shape. Biden is actually running at this parade in Iowa
