Unlikely for sure, but necessary if they wish to ever redeem themselves. The contrast between the two couldn't be more stark. Terrible Ted knew Bo had died before he said what he said to that crowd. How could he say that unless he was anything but a psychopath, and I don't ask that lightly! The fact that a relatively large number of Americans could be blinded by such a horrible, mean spirited person shows just how effective the RW propaganda has been for people with a certain jealous, envious bent to them. Their politics of fear, hate, and greed appeal to certain people for some reason I never will fully understand. It is up to us to beat them back and make sure that these types never gain the reins of power, EVER AGAIN!

The real man, the real patriot, the real down to earth guy gets jokes made about him by empty suited hateful traitors like Ted Cruz. How sad for America. How far we've fallen because of the plague called republicans.

to protest Beau's funeral. I read a comment on the Delaware Liberal site that people were organizing both Liberals and Conservatives in the DE-PA area (maybe MD and NJ too, but those weren't mentioned) who wanted to build a silent protective buffer between the funeral attendees and the hateful WBC members.

The Biden's have great friends among the fire, police, and military here in Delaware, not to mention unions. I would think they should be able to come up with enough people to keep those hatemongers far away from Beau's family.

I could never have his faith, but always hope to have his resilience.

What he said about a day will come when you remember who you lost and smile before you cry. So true.
