I am switching!

[sheshe2]

Dayum that is one sweet move. She is fierce and will make one magnificent Flotus.

She "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"

Go Joe. Go Jill. What a team. 2020

[Walleye]

1. That girl is definitely outmatched

[sheshe2]

9. :)

[abakan]

49. she was out classed in more ways than one. nt

[handmade34]

2. she's a teacher!

and has to be ready for anything...

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. Yep. We get trained for that sort of thing.

[sheshe2]

7. That look on her face!

And not a hair out of place!

Yep, teachers rock!

[BootinUp]

15. Does it work like the wonder twins? "POWER OF EDUCATORS!" lol.

No I love that picture and our next flotus is awesome.

[Hoyt]

3. Everyone handled that well. Joe B didn't miss a beat either.

[kimbutgar]

4. i can't imagine Melania jumping in and defending mf45!

[Rebl2]

18. I hope

she doesn’t. She probably would be afraid of breaking a nail or getting a hair out of place.

[Hekate]

58. Symone Sanders broke a nail on the one she took down. Someone must've asked if she was...

...all right, 'cause that was her cool answer.

Dem Women are good women!

[Tribalceltic]

44. She would fall off of her heels

[Hekate]

59. Indeed she would

[FarPoint]

55. Hahahahahahah

Ohhhh you are so right about that!

[Moderateguy]

6. Only a teacher?

When the current First Lady is a architect who speaks multiple languages and had full frontal nudes floating around the internet. Dr. Biden will be boringly normal in comparison. Bring it on!

[flamingdem]

8. Excellent!

[highplainsdem]

10. LOL! Fortunately for us, Joe and Jill are a package set.

Even more fortunately, we're likely to see Barack and Michelle visiting the White House fairly often if Biden is elected.

[sheshe2]

13. A family reunion!

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. That is a great shot.

I think that will become iconic in 2020.

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. She has great moves.

[morillon]

14. Here's a different camera angle

In this one, you can see Dr. Biden as well as Symone Sanders, who's wearing a black pin-striped jacket. She storms onto the stage from the right and actually drags the protester from the stage. I'm in total awe of both of them.

Link to tweet

[sheshe2]

16. She said she broke a nail.

She was great.

[efhmc]

17. Heard her (Sanders) on NPR saying she was going for manicure to fix it this afternoon.

[nolabear]

19. From Symone's Twitter feed today:

Link to tweet

Women should run the world.

[sheshe2]

23. Welp.

Women should run the world.

We do, some just haven't figured it out yet.

[nolabear]

24. Ain't it the truth. Backward and in Birkenstocks.

[sheshe2]

27. That is the ticket!

[sheshe2]

20. Lol!

She can dance backwards in high heels!!!!!

[nolabear]

25. LOL! GMTA

[Pepsidog]

47. That is terrific

[MustLoveBeagles]

36. Symone Sanders is awesome

I have so much respect for her.

[Cha]

21. lol.. Thank the anti-diary industry for

bringing out the Lioness in Dr Jill Biden!

Thank you, she!

[SunSeeker]

22. Holy shit! Where the fuck is the Secret Service?

[MustLoveBeagles]

31. Former VP's don't have Secret Service protection

That seems wrong somehow. Too many crazies running around.

[SunSeeker]

42. Top nominees do get Secret Service protection...especially if they ask for it.

Apparently Joe has not requested it. But it sounds like he will be getting it now, whether he wants it or not: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/04/politics/secret-service-protection-2020-candidates/index.html

[MustLoveBeagles]

48. Thanks for the info

I know that President Obama had to have SS protection after he announced for obvious reasons. I'm glad Joe will be getting it now.

[yellowdogintexas]

56. That has been the case since Bobby Kennedy was killed. nt

[sheshe2]

57. Thanks, SunSeeker.

Good to know. Way to many crazies out there in Trump world.

Jill and Symone reacted fearlessly, however they still must have to calm down after the adrenaline flow. Frightening.

From your link.

ill Biden's swift action Tuesday night wasn't her first time standing in for security.

After a man shouted at her husband and approached his lectern at a New Hampshire rally last month, she leaped from her chair to help others keep the man from getting too close.

Asked by reporters about the heckler after the New Hampshire event, Jill Biden laughed and said, "I'm a good Philly girl."

He is now getting SS support. Good thing.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

61. Will Jill let the SS get close to Joe?

[sheshe2]

63. Hope so.

My guess is they will both be watched over.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

66. My wife is a retired teacher.

Disruptions are nipped in the bud.

[sheshe2]

67. I have a couple teachers on my end.

Teachers rock.

[Traildogbob]

43. Good to know

Hope the hell we don't have to pay for Pence and damn sure hope we do not give another dime to the trump spawn. Hope some damn big game maul their asses.

[MustLoveBeagles]

50. See post 42

Apparently he will be getting protection now and I'm glad about that.

[DonaldsRump]

26. Have read enough of your posts to know that you're supercool and would come around!

Seriously, though, I hope Joe picks Senator Warren as VP. This would be great beyond belief.

Elizabeth Warren is an exceptional leader and person. This is the VERY least that befits her.

Because she PERSISTED! She's my persister sister!

[Karadeniz]

32. I LOVE Warren! However, I don't think her talents would be best used as VP. The CFPB

Needs to be rebuilt. She could oversee a committee to reform our tax system, esp. after Trump. She's probably the best person to figure out how to best utilize her knowledge. Also, we don't need two geriatrics in the executive. It would be better to have a younger VP who could run, if needed. And let's not forget how much Biden...if he's the candidate...
Needs to include the AA's in his administration and the VP slot would be appropriate.

[DonaldsRump]

38. It's the symbolism, if nothing else

I absolutely love Elizabeth Warren. In my heart, she says things I would love to say and she does it without fear.

She is capable of so much. Yes, she and Biden would be "older", but she is SO down to earth, it would send a SHOCKWAVE that here is a woman who finally made it to the top 2.

Without a doubt, this was HRC's honor 4 years ago. She won the election in every respect, over BS and over Trump. But she didn't win officially.

Joe B needs to unify us. I like Kamala Harris, but I think she is AG material. I would be super-happy for Elizabeth Warren to be VP. In 2024, I might think she should be the P nominee, but 2020 is CLEARLY a return to normalcy.

Joe and Liz would be a perfect ticket to unite the party in 2020.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

51. I think she's really in never-never land. One foot in the Sanders

door and one foot in the pragmatic beat trump more moderate door. Her strategic error was to not pick a door before ST. Obviously like her supporters did - or maybe half of them anyway. Now she's just floating in time and space. Really kind of sad. The ones who stopped and said "I'm out, please support Biden" gained precious future capital! Immeasurable. The good of the party vs. ME.

Have zero idea what she should do now. No good option. And no way would Biden ever pick her since she failed to support him when he needed it. Guess her only option is to support Bernie. Yet half her supporters already bailed and went with Biden.

[relayerbob]

29. "Hands off my husband, psycho. I'm going to eat your face"

Excellent photo.

Glad nothing worse happened

[MustLoveBeagles]

33. I'm glad she's on our side

[MustLoveBeagles]

30. Jill Biden for the win!

[sheshe2]

34. Did you see the vid someone posted above?

Symone Sanders, Biden's spokesperson hauled their ass off the stage. I had to watch twice to see it. She is in the pinstripe jacket.

Jill a TKO and Symone hauls them off stage. Women are rocking it!

[MustLoveBeagles]

45. Yes I did

My husband and I watched the speech live. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was like I can laugh about this now, but at the time it really scared me. That shouldn't have happened but Symone and Jill handled it really well. I felt bad for Joe's sister. She was really shaken up. For the record I happened to be drinking chocolate milk while watching Joe's speech. No joke.

[morillon]

69. Glad you liked the video :-)

I can't stop watching it. The sheer determination...OMG.

Both women have enormous physical courage. Symone pounded up onto that stage like a superhero and I admire the hell out of her for that, but it scares me to pieces to think about what could have happened. She could've broken much more than a nail.

Joe needs Secret Service and professional bodyguards yesterday.

[Afromania]

35. I said this to somebody today:)

I don't dislike Biden anyway but she earned Joe some real bonus points by being badass last night because and I like badass first ladies Has anybody noticed that Democratic first ladies are ALL, and I do mean ALL, great like that?

[FailureToCommunicate]

37. Welcome to the bandwagon, sheshe!

[sheshe2]

46. Hey!

He was my second choice when things narrowed a bit. I loved many of them. So much talent.

I don't want to drain our Senators for a position in a Biden WH. We can't afford that. I see Beto and Pete there, Castro as well. I am not sure of the VP pick. I am torn on that one. I see a lot of talk here about this very subject. My preference would be a woman as a stepping stone to the Presidency. We also need a VP equipped to take over a Presidency on a moments notice. One person I have not seen mentioned is Andrew Gillum ex mayor.

I know for a fact that a Biden Presidency will be stacked with the best of the best.

[FailureToCommunicate]

52. Here are some possibilities I'd like to see Biden consider for VP...

(From a thread earlier today)

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=625740

[R B Garr]

39. Hi she! Jill is awesome!

I’ve always loved her.

Go Team Biden!

[IronLionZion]

40. I hope I can find a woman like Jill Biden

[yaesu]

41. I'm staying with the guy who reminds me of what the Democratic party was at its best

FDR progressive best!

[Hekate]

60. Not so much FDR as Eugene V. Debs. But same era.

[sheshe2]

65. Nailed it one!

Home run.

[Hortensis]

68. Excellent!

"When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong."

That's socialist Debs, of course, reflecting on what causes tragic failures like the democratic majority's New Deal. Of course Debs was right. How could a New Deal created by a majority coalition that included both the AA who flocked to the Democratic Party to make it happen and the rabid Southern conservative faction, and also a bunch of progressive Republicans, be anything but terribly "wrong"?

[LanternWaste]

70. Me too! Biden's the best!!

Since we've devolved to simply throwing out bumper stickers, I thought I'd join in.

Join the evolution!

[William769]

53. Glad shes on our side!

[sheshe2]

54. No kidding.

I wouldn't mess with her.

Lest we forget Jill and Michelle spent 8 years together. Let's Move!

[Hekate]

62. Sheshe....

[sheshe2]

64. Love you back, Hekate.

[In_The_Wind]

71. Love it!

[amuse bouche]

72. Jill is awesome

[stuffmatters]

73. Yes,Yes. I've always thought Jill'd make a terrific FLOTUS.

Watching her awesomeness Tues night, I was thinking Melania would have run off the stage instead of protecting her own husband. No doubt Melanie would never have broken a nail for him.

[onetexan]

74. So it was Jill's impressive blocking skills that made u switch

?

[sheshe2]

75. Yep.

Don't mess with strong women~

[onetexan]

76. That's my gal

i loveeeee Jill Biden

[sheshe2]

81. Hey onetexan...

Texas did the rocking the other night.

Let's play it again in November!

[onetexan]

82. u got it!

[sheshe2]

83. Thank you!

I heard that one man stood in line for seven hours to cast his vote. GOP had closed many polling places in Dem. areas.

Brava/ Bravo to you all.

[Cary]

77. Jump on the bandwagon!

Lots of room.

[sheshe2]

79. Oh. I switched to Joe with my vote 03/03/2020.

I am saddened about Warren, yet voted with my head and not my heart.

My OP was about voting for Jill instead. It was sarcasm, yet love that gutsy woman.

[Cary]

85. As you know I am a single issue voter

Throw Orange Hitler out on his ass, arrest the sob, throw him into a pit and throw his crime family in it with him.

[sheshe2]

87. With ya 100%!

[NurseJackie]

78. Hey there, you!

[sheshe2]

80. Hey you.

I so loved that! Jill and Symone Sanders took the protestor down!

[cwydro]

84. Lol! Happy to rec!

Fantastic pic.

[sheshe2]

86. Thank you, cwdro.

[cwydro]

88. I'd love to see one of Symone tackling the other protester, but can't find one.

Ive seen it on video though, and its great!
