1. I love how he's got PLANS instead of offering nebulous, empty promises

And how he refers to trump* by his first name instead of his title.

13. So much so. On the entire white house policy board, only one plan out of all issues provided..

And that one thing is the useless wall.

I'd posted much the same thing earlier today:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=13748027

They offer no solutions at all.

Really, take a look at the White House issues page.. a government website for our White House that is 100% dedicated to promoting trump politically instead of the office of the Presidency..

1. Economy - Not a SINGLE actual plan or initiative listed.. just Trump is great bullshit. No solutions.
2. Budget and spending - Complains about the deficit that trump grew, yet not a single plan or proposal or position. A tagline of fear mongering that we'd just make it worse (unsubstantiated of course). No solutions.
3. Land and Agriculture - Just a fluff piece talking up the farmers that this administration has hurt. No plans, proposals, or positions.. No solutions.
4. Veterans - fluff piece. No policy or solutions.
5. Education - LOL.. I can't even..
6. Law & Justice - rule of law, LE is all good, not a single thing to address the problems or even mention of racist applied practices of LE. No solutions.
7. Energy & Environment - LOL.. I can't even..
8. Healthcare - Obamacare bad.. we've got problems.. Nope, no solutions to them though.
9. Immigration - bad people. - only solution at all on the whole website and it's for the useless wall born of fear and hate.

pretty much the same no solutions bullshit for the rest.

2. I'm longing for some semblance of stability, and that's what Joe does for me. He represents

Stability. A steady course. The feeling that someone who cares about us is at the wheel, who will bring expertise back to the Cabinet and the various agencies who've been drifting rudderless.

4. It was really nice to hear a presidential speech.

Not some babbling idiot.

Can't wait for the debates.

Joe should get himself a small trump baby balloon and have it tied to his podium.

5. He seems to be collecting most of the good ideas...

that his rivals in the primaries were espousing and adding them to his platform.

Should help to get everybody into the tent.

is the highlight of our days, these days. That's what the PoS from Mar-a-Lardo has reduced us to.

GO, JOE, GO!

14. He's really not doing much of anything spectacularly...

....except doing what a presidential candidate should do. That being, act presidential and say presidential shit. We've just been so jaded to 45 for so long, what Biden is doing seems spectacular. Having said that, the Warren influence is starting to show. Lately, he seems to have a plan for everything, and I'm loving it. The contrast just gets more and more stark.
