the best way to roll out and declare why he's running for the Presidency.

We all know it.. our very existence as we knew it is at stake.

Where did you see that about President Obama, Peacetrain?

"A spokesperson for former President Barack Obama told NBC News that he "has long said that selecting Joe Biden as his running mate in 2008 was one of the best decisions he ever made."

"He relied on the Vice President’s knowledge, insight, and judgment throughout both campaigns and the entire presidency," the spokesperson continued. "The two forged a special bond over the last 10 years and remain close today.”

17. Love shared belief in worthy choices, of course, and
Thu Apr 25, 2019, 09:10 AM

commitment to the importance of voting.

"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights."

Joe quoting from our nation's intensely liberal mission statement, of course.

For nearly 250 years strong conservatives have disagreed, they think that equality stuff is liberal absurdity, completely and even dangerously untrue. For that entire time they've sought to eliminate these beliefs from not just our nation's laws but ultimately from our national character, but I don't think they've ever been this big a threat.

So I'm genuinely thrilled that Joe's reminding the nation of our critically important founding principles, not just speaking of a list of goals that'd disappear with the principles if they were lost.

hadn't lost sight of our nation's strong core liberal principles, there would never have been a Trump. We've been condemning Trump like a blizzard that never dwindles or moves on, with at best limited success. Joe's reminding us that principles are the foundation of the wellbeing that grows from them.
