Just realized I haven't had a chance to hear Joe speak at length.

I want to hear his thoughts on serious topics for more than a minute or two. I’d like to listen to him speak for 20-30 minutes or more. I want to know that the occasional misses from recent debates are not part of normal communication for him.

I want to hear how he composes thought and expresses ideas so I can feel more at ease and less stressed out about the future.

If you have a link or several I’d sure appreciate it.

Thanks.

1. I had the pleasure of seeing Joe when Obama introduced him in Springfield, Il as his VP

and listening to his talk at the time. If it wasn;t for tragedy leading up to 2016, Biden most likely would have gone into the primary and would have beat Hillary as well as trump.

Many occasions with talks with Sen Durbin and his respect for Joe Biden is unparalleled.

3. Yes, Beau's loss was a real tragedy. Who could have run right after such a blow?

Genuine. Clear on his thoughts. No word salad or long convoluted statements.

Very Presidential and comfortable at the same time.

Knew that day he would run, that I would support him and that he will win.

That was over a year ago. I still think all those things.

funding for MFA? Seems she would have had that worked out long ago, before pushing it.

I don't think he can speak coherently for 5 minutes on a topic anymore. Even his stump speeches are rambling. We need to know.

people rather watch paint dry then watch his speeches.

I'm really concerned he will not be able to energize the base let alone the younger voter. If he wins we just have to hope people go out to vote because you know Trumps crowd will be there voting like its life or death.

If Biden is the nominee I will vote for him - I will send him money but to be honest I probably wouldn't watch his speeches or go to a ralley

13. Because he is not a slick and slippery fast-talker, selling false and unrealistic promises?

Joe spoke for 25 minutes or so and then took selfies with the attendees. Joe was great at this event
