I spent lunchtime watching old videos of Joe Biden on YouTube...

[highplainsdem]

All sorts of things. All bringing a smile. All great reminders of what a profoundly good, caring person Joe Biden is.

Everything from a cute interaction with his dog during a CBS interview three years ago

to a blunt attack on Trump early last year on CNN

to his receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama

and the 2012 DNC video biopic.

I looked at videos about his bromance with President Obama

and Michelle and Jill talking about their husbands' bromance (and their own friendship).

I want to see Joe and Jill in the White House...and their good friends Barack and Michelle visiting often.

2. In my 70+ years I've never seen two men, and women, who connected as well as those four.

I really really want to see Joe Biden run, and win. About 15 years ago I read his autobiography, everyone should read it to see what kind of man he is and what he's gone through in his life (this was before Beau).

[highplainsdem]

9. I agree completely.

[hlthe2b]

5. His smile is absolutely infectious...

He is one of the genuinely good guys. Not perfect by any means, but one who has shown both his depth of life experiences--and that he learns from them.

[highplainsdem]

11. Yes, it is. And you make a great point there about him not only having depth of experience,

but learning from that experience.

[sheshe2]

6. Thank you.

Those clips made me smile.

[highplainsdem]

17. You're welcome! I thought we all could use a smile.

[sheshe2]

19. Yes we could.

It is welcomed,

[sheshe2]

7. Thank you.

Those clips made me smile.

8. He is a good man and a great statesman!

[highplainsdem]

18. True, and we really need a statesman now, to undo all the damage Trump has done,

both nationally and internationally.

[brer cat]

10. He is a good and honorable man

who would make a great president!

[highplainsdem]

20. And God, wouldn't it be nice to again be able to call the president "a good and honorable man"?

[LakeArenal]

27. And a President that could even spell it.

[Thekaspervote]

35. Agree! As for age he would immediately step aside for the good of the country if felt it necessary

[nolabear]

12. It's like a different world. I want that world, plus all the progress we can make.

I think he’ll support it and I think he’ll help others to support it too.

[highplainsdem]

21. "I want that world, plus all the progress we can make." Amen.

[elleng]

13. THANKS!

[highplainsdem]

22. You're welcome!

[handmade34]

14. he's a BFD

[highplainsdem]

23. LOL! Yes, he is!

[Ferrets are Cool]

15. I suppose that is my biggest problem with Joe

He is TOO nice. I'm tired of being nice. Joe thinks he has lots of friends in Washington. He doesn't seem to get it that NO REPUGS are his friends.
And only because I feel like it is REQUIRED to say this in every post on this part of the forum, I WILL VOTE FOR HIM IF HE IS THE NOMINEE. I would vote for a slug if that slug had a D behind it's name. And it would have more brains than the R.

[highplainsdem]

24. Seriously, I think we need a candidate who IS nice. Joe's a fighter, too, but fundamentally he's a

good, compassionate, NICE person. Who can fight when a fight is needed, but is not MEAN.

And that's JUST what we need after Trump.

Only the real deplorables like Trump's viciousness. Most people find Trump's behavior contemptible, and we aren't likely to win by rejecting candidates who seem nice.

[highplainsdem]

25. ???????????

30. Pro tip: Give the TOS another read.

[calimary]

28. It'd almost be worth it to watch him laugh in trump's face during the debates.

His chuckling at Sarah Palin during the VP debate in 2008 sure took her down a peg - or 15.

[highplainsdem]

41. I'm looking forward to that.

[dewsgirl]

29. He is adorable and honestly at the top of my list still.

I thought you meant really old videos of him at first. He is still a very handsome man, but back in the day he was downright hot.😘

[David__77]

31. I like him!

Thanks for posting.

32. Joe Biden is the most electable candidate that we have in the field

trump wants to run against sanders and is afraid of Joe Biden

Link to tweet

The Republican Party would love to run against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) because they could make the election all about Sanders and socialism instead of Trump. They want to run against Buttigieg because they think they can use his sexual orientation and youth against him.

The person that Trump can’t figure out is Joe Biden. Trump has tried the “Sleepy Joe” attack but has flopped. Trump has now moved on to trying to attack Biden’s populism by coining him “1% Joe.” This also won’t work, especially coming from Donald Trump. Trump fears Biden’s populism and former vice president’s appeal in Rust Belt states.

Biden scares Trump, and that fear is never more obvious than when Trump starts talking about his potential opponents in 2020.

[NBachers]

33. I could easily switch over to Joe Biden.

we need somebody who remembers how the government operates, so we can rebuild it after Putin, Trump and the Republicans have destroyed it.

[quickesst]

34. This is the man this country needs right now....

..... and before it's over, this is the man most of the country will want.

[Thekaspervote]

36. Oh my gosh I hope you are right!!!

[quickesst]

37. This is what I believe

There are those who believe Joe Biden's popularity is due to name recognition as if it is a flawed reason for supporting him. I contend that Joe's name recognition is an asset simply because of the stellar reputation that goes along with it. World leaders, especially our allies, support Joe Biden and will feel confidence and comfort in knowing that they are dealing with someone they are very familiar with. That confidence and comfort will show America that he can make monumental strides in healing the damage done worldwide by the corrupt trump administration. These are some of the reasons I am supporting him. Hang in there.

38. I absolutely love all the hilarious Biden and Obama memes

My kids spent at least a week digging them up and sharing them on social media, lol.

[oasis]

39. Joe is ready.

[peggysue2]

40. Thanks for that, highplainsdem

I think the country is more than ready to elect a decent, honorable man, a man who can set aside ideological buzz words for true compassion and caring and setting things right, someone who is mad as hell over what's happened in this country, infuriated over how people are being treated, how cruelty and inhumanity has stained the presidency and is ready to take on the fight, take the brawl directly to Donald Trump.

Joe Biden is undoubtedly the most qualified and experienced candidate. He's a skilled politician who knows how to get things done, and he's the only candidate with foreign policy chops. God knows we're going to need a major repair/heal job with our friends abroad. Biden can get that done.

More than that, he's a man with a big heart while possessing the spirit of a scrappy, backstreet fighter. He'll fight for all of us and he'll make Donald Trump look as small and weak as he really is.

Looking forward to Wednesday's kickoff.

Go Joe!
