Good one! Sure feels like an antidote to what ails is these days.

And the cause of that ailment IS trump. Routes directly back to him. And emanates from him like a fart from one’s back end.

This is a very good argument. And there IS a sense that relief is in sight.

One thing I think is glaringly obvious about Joe Biden is - he’s a genuinely caring, compassionate, and good man.

NOBODY is perfect. Not even the ones some THINK are perfect. But we need a genuinely good and kind and compassionate leader. Someone who’ll help us heal. Someone eager to give us a reassuring hug and a shoulder to cry on. Someone who can empathize because he has known great pain and anguish and loss, up close and personal. He has legitimately walked in those shoes. Authentic and genuine as can be. I don’t know of anybody better-suited for that than Joe Biden.

Sure sounds like relief on the way, to me.

Yes, I do remember that speech. And that passage in particular.

And it made me cry then, too.

Kamala Harris. Period.

It's appealing, alright.

He has the common touch. He’s relatable like few others are. And he connects with the so-called working class. He took the train back home to Delaware when the Obama/Biden team had retired. And for all those who felt like betting on trump (?!!?!?!???!?) because they were somehow feeling left out or left behind, he might well bring them back into the tent.

THIS. She won. Period. She got the most votes. Period.

She’s the closest thing to a President I have at the moment. Other than Barack Obama.

April 25, 2019

Still love you Hillary. You won. By a very large margin of the popular vote.

I’m not forgetting that one ANYTIME soon.

April 25, 2019

Neither will I.

Two words, Senator Won’t-Be-President: Al Franken.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
