Kaines and Bidens look like a group of old, comfortable friends. There is real affection.

Thank you for posting this - I smiled and even got a little teary. It is so wonderful to see people who care - not just when the cameras are on, but all the time.

I loved when Hillary was watching Chelsea and said "She's so pretty" - it was such a cute mom thing to say - you could tell she was just as proud of her daughter as her daughter was of her.

Lots of love. Genuine love, encouragement, and excitement. All of them so happy to be showing their support of Hillary. So pleased to be a part of her campaign.

Looked like back stage Academy Awards!

DAYUM that was a great convention! And I've seen a bunch of 'em in my day. This one just might be the best I've ever seen.

I got chills, again, watching her walk out to see President Obama after he finished his speech, and then walking out to give her own speech. Choked up. Again. What a moment. And the crowd erupted like a volcano! SO cool seeing it from this vantage point!

SO reinvigorating and energizing! So reaffirming and optimistic and full of encouragement! So refreshing and restorative!
