Thank You! Cha Sep 2019 #1
I think so, too. And Castro's nasty, clueless and simply WRONG attack on him helped him. highplainsdem Sep 2019 #2
Yep. Really liked his remarks on setbacks. He always moves me. emmaverybo Sep 2019 #3

Don't know, but one thing I saw that I really liked was that Sanders stepped over, put his hand... George II Sep 2019 #15

...on Biden's arm, and seemed to say, "don't let it bother you", or something similar.

That was a great gesture.

I am always moved by how he doesn’t talk about himself, but rather he talks about the people he loves and the country he loves.

He has a habit of panicking a bit when he gets an uncomfortable question. But overall very solid.

There is nothing more disarming than sober self reflection, especially in the age of Trump.

were never stronger in the first two debates, which is a definite plus for him, but he definitely had a few more stumbles on word choices, which are not going to help.

I'm impressed by the fact that there is very little attacking of others going on. Except Castro.

was poignant and honest. You can always see the emotions well up in Biden when he speaks about his family losses, Beau in particular. But as his pop told him, it's not just about the fall; it's about how you get up. Good one to close on.

He wasn’t bad, but he didn’t have the facts or the good plans. He did manage not to look like a jerk (Castro) or an unprepared noob (Yang), but that’s hardly the same thing.
