Joe Biden has a posse.. one that loves him.. Trump uses fear to interact with his people!

We stayed up last night with a friend visiting from Minnesota.. and cheered and like everyone else were so happy to see how the votes were breaking Biden's way..

We had a little round table of our own here.. and one thing that has been obvious to all.. Joe Biden is not a money raiser.. never has been.. that is why he was always one of the poorest in the Senate,.. it is not his talent.

Joe has always been and will always be someone who trips over his words.. because of his history of stuttering and if you really watch him closely giving speeches you will see him.. work so hard on some words and have to pull another one out because of this.. this will not change.. some call it gaffes.. call it what you will .. it is Joe and that will never change.

What Joe is so good at.. so very good.. is the one on one with people that endears him to world leaders and those of us who have supported him all along.

His ability to put actual dreams and make them realities..

What is happening with the Democratic Party right now, is that they are coalescing around Joe with various talents.. and together
this Democratic leadership will retake the White House, Keep the House, and retake the Senate.. and keep our down ballots in office and take new state leadership positions.

Thank you James Clyburn for leading this group of wonderful Democratic leaders including those who have stepped back from running for President. They are our futures, present and the best of our past.

I am so thankful for today, and all the great people who are our party leaders who have finished running but kept the their mantles of leadership.

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

move hits home with so many of us. We know what it is like to have our family suffer financial difficulties. A person can say they know what that feels like, but Joe really knows what it feels like. He has also sat in hospitals with Beau hearing other families try to figure out how to pay for emergency care for their loved ones, it makes him so much more empathetic.

He reminds me of a Jesuit Priest I knew as a girl, Father Daniel. He had suffered some horrible things as a child and his level of caring was amazing. He sat with me as my Mother died, I was 19. I can see so many similarities between Father Daniel and Joe.

I think that is what people connect with.. as Jim Clyburn said.. "We know Joe, and better yet.. Joe knows us" (that is paraphrasing)

7. Attributes Trump FEARS.....
Wed Mar 4, 2020, 11:55 AM
Mar 2020

Humility
Compassion
Wisdom
Fortitude
Temperance
Life Experiences
Respect for others

These are lacking in Trump. Voters are finally waking up and seeing that we as a country MUST return to a place where these attributes uphold the values and principles that has supported the foundations of this Democratic Republic since 1775.

We have a choice come November. Vote BLUE all the way.

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