The man's en route to El Paso and he's tweeting shit about Biden's speech: sleepy Joe, boring, how the economy would collapse under Biden but at least he won't need to worry about China (bc Trump has solved all the problems in his own mind). This is how dedicated Trump is to the mission of 'consoling" the citizens of El Paso.

Joe's right. Trump is the antithesis of everything this country hopes to be in the now, in the future.

Wed Aug 7, 2019, 05:09 PM
Aug 2019

In my eyes, it is almost like a new Biden, full of confidence, energy, compassion and knowledge, although I have never doubted his intellect, his knowledge.

No matter how skeptic I have been (past tense), I am one of those who "will vote blue no matter who" (not my motto, someone here at DU came up with it), but I am very happy to see him up the game and show all those years of experience with Obama and in politics.

I still don't like some of the things on his agenda, I am hoping that he will change those too, but nonetheless, if he is the nominee, he will be my candidate, and who knows, maybe before that.

Well done Joe, I did not fall sleep during your speech, on the contrary, at times I had goosebumps. If the creature found it boring, as he wrote on his childish tweet, it is because he did not understand it, there is not much the creature can understand.

Thank you.

He is truly an amazing man. He's genuine. Nothing phony about him. I would recommend that book to anyone here on DU if you haven't already read it. Life has knocked him down so many times and he gets back up and gets on with it. He deserves to be our President and if he is the nominee, of course I will vote for him and proclaim it proudly!
