1. We definitely need more decency in our political leadership and in our society too.

2. Trump says: Who?

3. Yeah, or a decent human being

4. He was warmer and more human that Robert Trump's own brother was.

5. Watch Trump say that "Sleepy Joe really doesn't mean it."

I would be shocked if the graciousness is returned.

6. Joe Biden is, and has always been a mensch- read the link below

7. It will go right over his head as a human gesture.

Instead, paranoia will set in as to Biden's "true" intentions".

8. Trump to his credit, did Tweet a message of condolence to Biden when Beau died.

I don't know how sincere he was in that tweet. Knowing Trump and Republicans, they will find a way to criticize Biden for what he said in his statement.

9. I expect nothing less than dignity, class, and compassion

from the good and decent and humble man leading the Democratic ticket.

10. Watch...

Trump & his followers will absolutely turn Joe's (and Kamela's) comments against them. It's all about politics and demonizing the other side. They can't comprehend that someone might disagree vehemently with an opponent, but still have sympathy when something bad befalls them and their family, because they certainly wouldn't do that themselves!

11. This is what we call normal human behavior.

Unfortunately, there's absolutely nothing normal about the GOP or their current leader.

I'm looking forward to watching the world react to normal returning to our part of the planet next January....

12. Curious

Why is the word "prayers" in quotation marks in the part about Kamala's response?

In response to Biden's tweet, his Democratic running mate, the presumptive vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, also expressed her condolences and "prayers" to the Trump family.
