Gotta say... Biden's CNN town hall performance got me smiling

When my #1 preference for president (Amy) isn't currently #1, I want to see strong performances from the rest of the candidates and boy howdy Joe Biden is showing how he can win it on the CNN town hall.

He's personable, his humanity and vulnerability is a stark contrast to the BLOTUS, has a command of statistical facts (not hyperbolic blather) and he acts presidential. What a relief. My enthusiasm to support ANY Dem is unequivocal and absolute, and Biden's performance tonight only helps that sentiment.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Biden is not my no. 1 choice either, but it's encouraging to be reminded of just basic decency and humanity.

As you say, a relief. Takes a lot of courage to run for president. We shouldn't beat them up so much.

He's really connecting with people and has very detailed answers to the questions asked. It appeared one woman in the audience was in tears when he was talking about disabilities.
