Introduction Ashley Biden
Remarks The Honorable Joe Biden President of the United States
Biden is doing a damn good job so far.
Edit: No, he’s doing a fucking great job. This is a really good speech, and he’s clearly fully recovered from COVID-19.
Edit #2: This is an amazing speech. This is Joe at his absolute best.
Edit #3: Calling out Trump’s insults to veterans and WWII soldiers who lost their lives.
Edit #4: “I love the job. But I love my country more.”
Final edit: That might very well have been the best speech of Joe Biden’s life.
Trump did too… Theresa England, Angela Germany, Emmanuel France, Tim Apple, Vladimir Putin.
It isn’t as though I’ve been around long enough to see them all, but I’d have to agree with your edits that he gave the speech of his life tonight.
30 years ago, Joe wouldn’t even recognize himself. I think my favourite line was in reference to all of the Democrats that have spent decades arguing for economic liberalism in vain. It felt like he included himself. As so many love to say, those that seek power often don’t deserve it; Joe reminded us tonight of how he’s spent his entire life redeeming himself.
Ashley and Jill did pretty well too - but Biden is also delivering solidly.
So far, I feel like the speeches have ranged from good to fantastic. No bad ones. And they’ve all been substantive.
God, what a difference from the shitshow of the RNC.
