Watching Joe in the pizza parlor on MSNBC. Amazing.

[nolabear]

They’ve just got him on split screen with the pundits. He’s just talking to the gathering crowd. One on one. Interested in them all. Seeing them. Respecting them. It’s beautiful. I can’t believe how much I’ve missed simple humanity. If his message is good he’s going to win. WE’RE going to, as Brinkley said about his campaign message this morning, “throw da bum out!”

2. "Get these guys anything they want...it's on me."

The sheer level of POSITIVE here makes me want to cry like a frigging baby when I compare it to the current occupant of the Oval Office.

[True Blue American]

6. Dawn is breaking

After a bitter, cold night!

Corny, but true!

[brush]

19. Yes, hope that Lucy Flores and whoever put her up to what she tried to do to this decent...

man is embarrassed for what they did. It didn't work.

[Skya Rhen]

20. If anything, it helped to consolidate support around him - this scheme backfired bigly...

Everyone knows that Joe is a decent man, so he had tons of goodwill already stored up to survive this malicious character assassination.

[onetexan]

40. Theyre going to throw everything including the kitchen sink at him

I have faith Joe will emerge stronger than ever. There is nothing anyone can say that will change my mind about him. Im looking forward to his SMART, beautiful and ever so gracious wife become FLOTUS. Someone whose not a bimbo.

[Cha]

42. Right.. it didn't work..

Biden Posts 6-Point Bump Among Likely Democratic Voters Amid Campaign Launch

Any concerns that those stories may dampen his support with women and black women is not yet borne out by the data. If anything, Biden’s advantage over the field relies heavily on edges with those groups: Among women overall, Biden jumped 8 points in the last week..

I'm guessing a lot of women felt like I did about it.

[calimary]

25. Yep. Could very well be.

He has a reassuring quality about him. That’s the vibe I keep getting. At exactly the time when I think the entire country needs it.

[True Blue American]

38. After what

Our fellow Dems did to Franken based on a made up story by a woman offered a job at Clear channel I think we learned a lesson.

[highplainsdem]

3. K&R

[True Blue American]

4. Wonderfful!

As I sit here penned in one room getting carpet and wood flooring it is so heartening to watch that warm, great man who was our VP for 8 good years.

What a refreshing message after listening to the hateful messages from Trump, McConnell and the do nothing Republican party for years.

Contrast him to Mitch who said he would be the Grim Reaper if they keep the Senate by refusing anything Democrats wanted to do. The evil pours out of men like that!

We need to clean house!

[beachbum bob]

5. Joe is the guy we all want to be sitting next to in the bar to hear stories from and why he

is such a positive force. He can stand above the fray.

[delisen]

13. definitely a guy's guy. identity politics

[Peacetrain]

7. I was watching that too!!.. he is so real..

He is working class to the bone.. black working class, white working class, all races.. just the working class.. his friends are not at a private golfing club in Florida.. or intellectual elites who end up talking down to people instead of eye to eye.. he is just real.. will serve him well..

[nolabear]

9. He should definitely play that. The distant, disengaged golfer

who literally charges people to interact with him versus the guy in the pizza parlor actually yelling “HEY!” as he recognizes people and talks about their memories together. As he tells a young musician how little musical talent he has. As he takes selfies with the young Latino men. As he black-handshakes the young black man. And not a single bit of it looks contrived.

This is what we are, America. This is greatness.

[delisen]

14. could you add, well..anything acknowledging female majority of population?

[Demsrule86]

23. I want a woman on the ticket. but only if a woman can help us win.

It is a debate we must have. None of our women candidates are doing great in the primary. I say this as a woman who wants to see a woman president. But I want Trump out more. Palin helped McCain lose....we don't want a situation like that.

[delisen]

32. I think not having a woman may help us lose-especially

if Trump gets too hot for Russia and Republicans to handle.

They may also decide to add Nikki Haley to any ticket- a solidly patriarchal but serious female my become attractive to them.

...but it is very early.

[Demsrule86]

35. I don't think a woman can win the presidency... not sure about VP.

[delisen]

36. I think a woman can win. Male presidents have not

been able to secure the human rights of women. This is the election cycle in which candidates need to address that reality. If not now, when?

Leaning in to misogyny so that we can possibly roll back the latest tsunami of misogyny doesn't work. We are lie the Ancient Greek whose humanity was reduced to struggling to a boulder up hill, only to have it roll back down as he approaches the top-and the "gods" expects that he must do this over and over again.

I watch the vilification of Anita Hill with an 8 year old girl, whose eyes teared up as she asked me "Why are they believing the man and not the woman." That eight year old has now suffered through some of the same indignities I did.

It is this slow seepage of the message of inequality that so destroys us and victimizes, our children, and our grandchildren. Sociologists tell us that we are unlikely to reach a no-discrimination human status for well over 100 years.

Enough is enough. I do not want to have a beer with Joseph Biden. I want him to get up to speed now.

[Demsrule86]

37. Sick of hearing about a 40 year old issue. Biden wrote the violence against women act

He is great guy and the old shit that those who support other candidates keep throwing at him will not work. Undecided...really?

[musicman65]

41. Well stated

[cwydro]

8. K and r. nt

[ms liberty]

10. It is one of his great strengths I think

He just really connects with everyone.

[yaesu]

11. why did you have to mention pizza

now I'm hungry for pizza

[a kennedy]

12. Loved when he was sitting in the car at the traffic light and one of his handlers

says to the reporters can you move please, we don’t want anyone getting hurt, and Joe says something like, I can hear it now, Biden kill reporter with car. He’s just so comfortable in his own skin, been through this, loves it and I really think he genuinely loves all the folks he meets.

[beachbum bob]

15. this might be a great campaign strategy, Joe goes into local bars and sits with the patrons

having a beer and answering questions.

[appalachiablue]

16. Joe equals major stability, huge! FLOTUS, smart lovely Dr. Jill

[lucca18]

17. "Simple Humanity"....yes, I've missed that too.

[BlueFlorida]

18. K&R nt

[gateley]

21. One of the commenters said "that's who Joe is --

people are just coming up to him, regular guy, hiya, Joe..."

The reason I fell for Joe in 2007 is he was the only one actually answering the questions in the debates like he was just talking to us, not the political lines the others were delivering (ALL of them, except Mike Gravel ) He's just a real guy and sincerely cares about people.

[Demsrule86]

22. He is for free college has a plan,for affordable health care, serious about climate change

He is great on the issues people care about.

[iamateacher]

24. His favorite Burger place in Wilmington

Is the Charcoal Pit. He brought Obama there. He really does sit down and talk with people....

[C_U_L8R]

26. He's gonna blow Trump's wig off

and kick his tail to boot.

[True Blue American]

39. Now that was funny

[honest.abe]

27. Yeah Joe represents returning America to normalcy.

I think that all he needs to do to win.

[Funtatlaguy]

28. That pizza place sure got a lot of free advertising.

[Mopar151]

29. Hire Uncle Joe to run the cleanup crew

Uncle Joe is the kind of foreman everybody wants to work for, and he knows what the mill looked like runnin'!

We better hire on the rest. They look like good hands, there's work enough for all good people.

[emmaverybo]

30. Post this?

I have looked. Link?

[ADX]

31. Here's a short clip...

[emmaverybo]

34. Thank you

Muchly!

[Cha]

43. As Biden was graciously

trying to get outta there!

Pizza to Go!

Thank You, ADX!

[dalton99a]

44. +1

33. Awww.. sounds
