Joe Biden just gave an incredible speech

[drray23]

He simultaneously defined what is America, the idea behind it and how Trump is the antithesis of all of that.
I dont think its hyperbolic to say this speech will go down in history. It was not just a mere campaign speech, it was a defining moment.

1. I hope they replay it over and over. It was perfect.

I DO have some pride left!

13. Anyone have the transcript, I prefer to read it than to watch the video

If anyone has, please post it. I tried to look for it but could not find it.

Thank you

15. Listened to the speech

Those who were unable to catch it should be on the lookout for a replay because it was firm, clear and uplifting in its tone and content. It also received a rousing ovation. Between this and the Anderson Cooper interview, Joe Biden is on fire.

This is his moment and purpose, a fight for the soul of the country. It was a clarion call.

We can do this!

[onetexan]

58. I w defly watch it

22. Biden had fun calling trump low energy

[Chemisse]

40. Oh snap!!!

I must watch this speech!

[Blue_true]

51. It was better than that.

"Low energy, vacant-eyed". Absolutely devastating.

[slumcamper]

23. He SURE DID.

Joe was certainly NOT sleepy, and he minced no words.

"...we have a president with a toxic tongue who has publicly embrace the rhetoric of racism and hate." And he drew a clear and direct analogy between Hitler and the toxic-tongued one.

[Gothmog]

24. This was a truly great speech

Welcome home, Sir!

27. Jason Johnson embarrassed himself on Deadline White House earlier, completely mealy mouthed

towards Biden's speech. "It wasn't enough for me". In truth, he's been taking Biden down since Biden declared, it would never be enough for Jason. Nicolle Wallace was quite taken aback by his attack.

[drray23]

28. he is a frequent guest of joyce reed .

He is always laying into Biden. It will be interesting to see if he keeps at it or keeps being asked on the air now that for the past week or so, Reed has been softening if not outright stopping her criticism of Joe Biden.

[OnDoutside]

30. Yeah it will be interesting what Nicolle has to say to him after this. Whoop, he's bigging up

Booker now, like he did earlier.

[redstateblues]

48. he is one of the chief Biden bashers- the bullshit slam because it's not about the future

He immediately went to Mr. 1% Cory Booker's upcoming speech

[OnDoutside]

57. I've always liked Jason so that is why I've been disappointed with

his attitude of late. I've no problem with him being pro Booker or whoever, but to be attacking another democrat like that, only gives succour to the GOP.

32. Give 'em Hell Joe!

A great speech that drew a bright line between American Values and the racist screed of those GOP traitors.

[The Genealogist]

33. This is what America needs to hear

Joe Biden stands in such stark contrast to that man squatting in the WH.

[KPN]

34. Missed it but i'll Look forward to seeing it

later. I’m sure it will be rebroadcast or I’ll find it on line.

[Duppers]

45. Ginny posted C-span link above.

[KPN]

49. Cool. Thx. I'll check it out.

[NoMoreRepugs]

36. VP Biden just put some rocket fuel in his tank. I think this will resonate well with

suburban moms and the young educated voters. Deplorables are who they are - they will call VP Biden sleepy and a socialist and dangerous for America, that's okay - they are only 30 some percent of the electorate. Turnout is going to be key and inspiration helps to turn people out.

[quickesst]

37. Joe Biden may not be....

....the only one who can beat Trump, but I believe he is the only one who can bury him. The speech was incredible.

[Cha]

67. And, we all know

that's what needs to happen.

[quickesst]

68. absolutely Cha!

Why go for a 10-round split decision when you can guarantee a first round knockout.

Might be the best speech I've heard from anyone still alive.

52. Although the Speech was Fine, the Campaign Poster was Inappropriate

In my opinion, when there is this much innocent blood sacrificed, a campaign poster is seriously out of place.

[tishaLA]

54. It was truly presidential

and not in the disgraced, vile tRumpian way, either.

[Gothmog]

56. This was a great speech

[NCLefty]

60. This was really good. He was very sharp. No 'old man' issues here. :p

Just the right amount of anger/oomph too. Enough to snap you to attention at the important parts but not so much that you tune it all out.

[bucolic_frolic]

61. It was a speech of stature and moral authority

well-earned by his decades at the highest levels of public life. Everyone's griped about Trump as narcissist, egotistical, amoral, corrupt. But this was different. This speech, without using any of that verbage, linked Trump's deeds and motivations to a readily understandable portrayal of Trump's lack of soul and lack of gravitas, without ever saying the words! Biden made us feel like we were peering into the abyss of Trump's inner morass.

It was not the most eloquent speech, or the most high-minded, it wasn't Biden puffing his stature or pushing himself over the rest of the field, it almost had an element of humility, it was like saying, "I'm Joe Biden, you know who I am, and look at this creep that's running the country! We have to do something about this really quick!!"

Artful. Much, much brainpower went into this, and most of it was Biden's, he's been consistent on portions of this theme most of this year. A man who can craft this perspective, and shepherd his speechwriters to mold and polish it, has a good mind and a solid understanding of the country and the presidency.

I'm not all in for Biden, but he moved mountains this day.

[bucolic_frolic]

62. And after this speech

it really doesn't matter if Biden is the nominee or not. This speech set the tone of the campaign, a blueprint for all to follow. The miscreant in the White House is so obvious, the subject almost writes itself. The difficult part is staying on message. It would be a mistake to portray Trump for what he is and then move on to policies and solutions for taxes and all the rest. You have to do both.

[peggysue2]

64. Kick!

Think we need to review Joe Biden's words on Wednesday while the giant gaffe meme tries to take precedence.

These are Joe Biden's words, straight from the heart. We are engaged in a battle for the soul of America.

A defining moment. For everyone.

[Cha]

70. I'll raise you a

high kick, Peggysue!
