Listening to VP Biden interview on MJ this morning along with his interview

on CNN.. gives the VP the humanity that the current resident of the White House so sorely lacks.. he reaches out to people from his gut.. you can hear it in his voice and demeanor.. he is coming through as the balm needed..people are scared spit-less of the current resident and what he will do next, even his own supporters..

I am so glad to see him giving these in depth interviews..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

1. I was in tears.. I truly appreciate that DUers can disagree with his policy positions, but

I would surely hope we don't see repeat of a handful of posts denying his sincerity and unbelievable ability to empathize to the plight of both grieving and suffering Americans (among other ugly insinuations)--especially after the last debate and the highly overwrought "touching" 'controversy'.

Again, I'm not ready to promote Biden or any other candidate, but I'd never fail to recognize what a truly good person Biden is, which does not deny that he has made his share of mistakes.

but that was my take away also, that this is a genuinely good person.. and we have a genuinely evil (and I do not use that word lightly) person in the White House right now.. I was impressed, and his willingness to take the questions and not get defensive..

You've been strong supporter of humanity!

He usually says the right things, but most importantly he says things about Trump that really resonate with those of us who hate that fucker. If he could come off half as strong in the debates as he does when he's alone being interviewed, it would help his chances tremendously. Speaking of the debates, I hope to hell that Steve Bullock is allowed in the next one. What a shame if he isn't.
