I had no idea I would be so emotional about this election. She got to me. I expect to see more of her. I expect her to work with Joe in some way.

and she has come a very long way. I used to think she wasn't tough enough but I have done a 180. I am so impressed with the way she's handled her campaign, and the way she ended it was just brilliant.

Gives Biden midwestern support, gets a woman on the ticket, and Trump can’t call either of them leftist or socialist. She’s a fighter and a good speaker. That would probably be the toughest ticket for Trump to campaign against.

... with regard to Amy was how she handled Kavanaugh. He was unspeakably rude to her throughout her questioning, and she never lost her temper, lost her cool, lost her focus, or engaged in the incivility he was wallowing in.

I remember thinking at the time that I could never, ever retain my poise in those circumstances - and to this day, I admire her ability to do so.

Her conduct wasn't just a display of being able to retain one's civility in the face of unbridled incivility - it was a demonstration of her ability to be the "adult in the room" despite having to deal with a whining, tantrum-throwing child.

I've been a Biden supporter from the beginning - but I never doubted that if Amy won the nomination, she would have gone on to be a a great president.

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