Joe for the win tonight.

[sheshe2]

He is what America needs right now.

Yes. I wanted Warren and would be saying the same about her, however America is still not ready for a woman.

Joe did one hell of a job tonight, So cool. So calm. So reassuring when we all need reassurance. He answered every question about the Coronavirus directly. He did not veer off to a stump speech. He looked us in the eye and told us where we are and what he would do.

He talked to me. Facts, not dreams.

Thank you Joe.

[highplainsdem]

1. K&R! Biden was brilliant tonight.

[sheshe2]

4. Yes, he was.

I loved the calm hand in the pocket, the other on the podium.

He killed it tonight.

[PatSeg]

14. Oh yes, me too

He'd put his hand in his pocket and turn to face Bernie when he was talking. He looked so calm and presidential!

[sheshe2]

16. That he did.

Cheers. I loved it.

I wanted Warren. However stand 100% behind Joe.

[PatSeg]

18. In the midst of all the bad news lately,

I am feeling quite hopeful. Just imagine what a great cabinet Joe will assemble and hopefully Warren will have a prominent position in it. Of course, I would hate to lose her in the senate though! She is a national treasure.

[sheshe2]

22. Hey, Pat.

I really want my Senator in the Senate. She has true grit and the fact that the GOP hate and fears her makes her more powerful there.

[PatSeg]

24. Wouldn't she be a great

Senate majority leader???

You must be my neighbor. I have two women senators and a woman representative in congress!

[sheshe2]

27. Now THAT is something I can believe it.

Senate majority leader.



Hugs, neighbor.

[summer_in_TX]

35. Doesn't the position of Senate Majority Leader go by seniority?

Is it possible for Elizabeth Warren to be elected to that position? She'd be awesome!

[sheshe2]

38. They are elected.

Not seniority.

[PatSeg]

40. I really don't know

though I'm sure if we take back the senate, it will be Chuck Schumer. I'm just looking forward to seeing Warren in a higher profile position next year!

[PatSeg]

37. Whatever she does

she will definitely be a force!

If not majority leader, definitely chair of an important committee!

[sheshe2]

39. She persisted.

[emmaverybo]

32. I feel whatever my individual fate, our country will be in good hands under a president Joe.

[sheshe2]

33. I agree, emma.

[emmaverybo]

44. Glad!

[mcar]

2. I wanted Harris. But Joe will be a great president

And, he promised to nominate a woman for VP!

[sheshe2]

6. I wonder who she will be.

[UncleNoel]

7. President Biden!

clap: :

[emmaverybo]

45. Love yr. display!

[Thekaspervote]

3. Great summation! Thx

[sheshe2]

8. You are so very welcome, Tkv.

[Docreed2003]

5. K&R

Biden looked and sounded presidential tonight. We was put together in a sharp, well cut suit, fresh haircut, he looked like he could go all night standing at that podium. That doesn't even touch his message! Biden made salient points that spoke to the issues we're facing right now, was respectful to Bernie but countered him effectively. Biden showed himself to be ready to take on Trump. Huge win

[sheshe2]

11. Thank you.

The one on one showed the sharp contrast of the two.

One answered the questions directly for the most pressing issue of all Americans at this moment. The Coronavirus that may kill up to a million. One refused and did a stump speech.

I am sorry. This is just not the place for that right now. People are frightened, rightfully so.

[PatSeg]

15. Oh yes

That was his best debate performance so far. He looked like a president on that stage. Can't wait to see him debate Donald Trump.

[emmaverybo]

46. Respectful. Never tried to humiliate Bernie. And he could have. Joe is humble. I love that.

[Duppers]

61. I noticed.

He's a GOOD man.

[madaboutharry]

9. There is so much anxiety and so much fear,

but his reasoned voice seemed like a salve to all the worry and made it clear that he sees keeping people safe and healthy is part of the job description.

[sheshe2]

17. This.

This exactly. I am scared. I know many others are all as well.

He makes me feel safe.

[William769]

10. IMHO it should just be Joe for the WIN!

[sheshe2]

47. Everything old is new again.

Saw him so many times live.

[FailureToCommunicate]

12. Well Biden promised a woman VP, so, IF WE WIN in November, it could mean...

a woman President in four years, and long before then, a cabinet, administration, and Congress, AND JUDGES, that look a lot more like America!

Go Joe Biden and Ms_________ !!!

[NCProgressive]

13. KnR

[oasis]

19. Great work Joe!

[demtenjeep]

20. Stacey for VP

Harris for SC and Amy for Sec of anything

Pete for Secretary of State

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. K&R

[SunSeeker]

23. All the MSNBC pundits, even the Covid-19 doctors, thought Biden did better than Bernie.

It's time for Bernie to suspend his campaign.

Trump's campaign is RIGHT NOW running an aggressive campaign in the battle ground states. The sooner we can pivot to that, the better.

[sheshe2]

25. He is past his sell by date.

For the good of America in a crisis, it time for him to step aside.

I am sorry, I don't want dreams of what may be. I want answers for what is happening here and now. Most Americans are frightened. I am. I have a 94 year old mother under my care to protect.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

52. +1.

[Skittles]

26. he is the best of what is left, for sure

[sheshe2]

36. True, Skittles.

We can't always get what we want. I will stick with the best we got.

Fact is he is a fine man and will do his best to help us out of the madness.

[customerserviceguy]

28. He got a bit tongue-tied a couple of times

but so did Bernie Sanders. I do think Joe accomplished his objective of looking competitive in a two-person debate. And the commitment to a female VP is what will get tomorrow's headlines.

[iluvtennis]

29. agree sheshe, Biden did awesome job. He told us what his plan is, what he will do. Sanders just

did his stump speech rhetoric.

[emmaverybo]

30. Thank YOU sheshe2. I believe Warren plays a large role moving forward. She has already. God

willing and right in the heavens, Warren leads the progressive movement in our unified states.

[Hoyt]

31. I think America is ready for a woman. Lots of junk worked against Clinton including

people thinking she had it made and not voting.

Truthfully, I was sick on election date and had I not already voted by mail for the best qualified candidate in my lifetime, I might have laid out thinking she had it and/or my red state was going to vote for trump anyway.

I think Biden’s VP will have a big advantage in 2024.

[calimary]

34. He was very presidential.

One could easily picture him in the White House, at the podium with the presidential seal. Cool, calm, and collected, and willing to deal with the facts of a crisis and not empty, misleading happy-talk.

I bet one prevailing feeling among viewers was - man, THAT’S the President we should have right now. THAT’S the Resident we need right now.

As for Bernie, the stature thing was just not there. He didn’t look, act, or sound presidential. I have a hard time picturing him standing there giving a State of the Union speech. I have a hard time picturing him at the presidential lectern now r sitting behind the Resolute Desk. Can’t help it. All he did was scold, as usual. Enough!

[LovingA2andMI]

41. Good Job Joe....

Now bring the Female VP & You to the White House and end our Nighmare!

[sheshe2]

42. Yes!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

43. "America not ready for a women". ??? Did Hillary

win the nomination in 2016? Did she get the most votes? YES did a half African American win in 2008 and again in 2012? YES

Time to reflect on what a candidate, be them male, female or in between, black, white or in between, gay straight or in between demonstrated to the US populace.

If you lost, obviously there is a reason ...policies, experience, demeanor, charisma level? Until we focus on those things, we will never progress.
.
Time to talk about other factors beyond race, gender or orientation for a loss.

[sheshe2]

48. ...

hmmm

[Laura PourMeADrink]

49. Yes. Warren lost

[sheshe2]

56. Women always lose. nt

[OMGWTF]

50. We already elected a woman president!

By three million votes. Get outta here with that we’re not ready for a woman.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

51. +1. Such bs

[sheshe2]

54. And still villified to this day.

So was Warren, Klobuchar, Harris.

[mahina]

53. I loved that but I also loved how Bernie said

About trump claiming that Democrats want open borders that’s a lie ( sounds better in a baritone)

He called out Trump lies a bunch of times.
Concise!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

57. +1. Although the elephant in the room to me was how little

they did talk about the #1, all time ever, treasure trove of opposition malfeasance, that ever existed in our lifetime.

What, except for one or two zingers, did we miss something?

It's like they'd be fined a million each time trump was mentioned?

[Duppers]

62. He did indeed. nt

[R B Garr]

55. Joe completely dismantled Bernie.

Joe made Berne’s honesty really come into question without being accusatory. He called out Bernie’s empty accusations in a very presidential way. Big win for Joe!

[Cha]

58. I'm so proud of Joe Biden.. I've wanted him

to be President from the very day he launched, April 25, 2019.. and even before lol

Mahalo for being such an excellent advocate for Joe Biden, after Elizabeth ended her campaign, she

[ucrdem]

59. Oh yes!

[LuvLoogie]

60. I keep telling my Bernie backing friends and family

that they should have backed Liz this time.

I still would have backed Joe over Liz. But it would have been a lot closer. Liz helped to clear the field for Joe with her take down of Mike. That needed to happen.

[herding cats]

63. He was great!

Bernie needed something to change tonight and nothing did.

Biden looked good up there and I suspect he seemed comforting to many in these COVID-19 times under Trump.

There were good moments by both, but Biden had to fall on his face for Bernie to gain ground. Instead the opposite happened. Biden was strong and presidential standing behind the podium. Making a clear delivery of his thoughts and platform. He looked Presidential! Again, I also suspect people were comforted, I know I was. We've had so much chaos to deal with and so many blows over the past 3 years.

Bernie took a gut punch over Castro. That one was a tad brutal. It's a good thing he's not going to be the nominee since there's zero chance he could carry Florida now.

[SayitAintSo]

64. I don't think so, I thought Bernie did great, he was focused he was clear...

And he pointed out the flaws in Biden's record we're they differed. And he was a gentleman. I thought he did an excellent job in pointing out Biden's record compared to his... and how records do matter. Bernie has been on the right side of history his entire career.

I like Joe Biden. I've liked and followed him ever since I saw him do Strom Thurmond's eulogy. I think he's a good man. But I think Bernie's policies are what this country needs right now and if this pandemic doesn't demonstrate that, then nothing will.

I know I'm going to be hate bombed probably for defending Bernie / my position. I lurk here mostly just to get the temperature of where folks are going. And I honestly, sincerely believe that Biden is the wrong choice at this time in our country's history.

Facts matter. Records matter.
