He was amazing

inspirational and exciting.

Or,he read his feedback posts. Jim Messina mentioned last week he needed to change his message or get eaten alive by Social Media.

should have been loud and proud three months ago and shoved the White Nationalism topic right up Fat Donnies Ass. Again,it took O'Rourke to get the genie out of the bottle in real time on live TV.

He has been delivering policy talks and initiatives in a patient manner.

This speech takes it to another level.

But,our Nation needs People to stand up to the Shit coming out of the White House. The Media won't give Joe a pass,count on it. Trump,that is a different story,they,the Press is scared shitless of not being able to shout a question towards him at his daily strut to the Helio.

Did that today! His speech came from the heart of a man who has suffered much heartbreak himself.

I do not care who wrote it the words were delivered with the compassion the man has shown through his whole life.

Really made my day in the middle of a staged, fake 2 city visit that was about Trump. He never mentioned the many victims, not once.

my position is,you have to go Smash Mouth with these People. Bullies hate facts thrown back in their faces.

We are way past time of the Pussy Footing around comments. It is time for a Nation Message whether it be Prime time bought with Campaign dollars or otherwise,with full simple language condemning Trump and his enablers.
My guess is,like every other major Campaign,they all seem to wait for October being a age old thing about the Public not paying Attention.

That task and are doing a really great job.

I have no doubt that every Democrat we have are doing what they do best.
That is Why I make no decision yet because 15 months can change things drastically.

I may not care what some do but that does not mean I am not proud of everyone of them.

plays down any attempt to expose the Racist Slob in the Oval. CBS Management stated three weeks ago,Trump is good for Business,after a Reporter ask why CBS is normalizing Trump.

Very happy about that. Joy seemed to favor Kamala and Hayes Bernie.

...good for him, he spoke for most of us.

He is now over Warren as my pick. And what you highlight is so important. The others could be lifted as Biden is doing for himself and the country. Really going for it.

None of the “other” campaigns have that designation, no fault of Joe’s.

...but positioning Joe against Trump is as natural for the media as waking up in the morning.

I would have preferred they elevated Beto at that moment, or something/someone more directly related to the communities affected. I'm not really sure about the effect of Joe Biden taking up all the air.

Not really affected by the campaign hype, and even more turned off by the gloating about how this or that opportunity afforded him makes him a sure president, or more presidential than the other candidates.

He has been doing an excellent job and media has been showing him.

The reason Brown, Tim Ryan and Mike DeWine, plus Congress people in Texas are speaking is because it is on their door step.

Mike DeWine took off so quick at the airport he was practically running, as if he wanted to get away from the toxic mess that is destroying his party. I do not care for Mike, never voted for him, but give him credit that he understood the anger of the protesters and laid out plans for some gun control. He did not get angry at them the way Trump does at anyone who crosses him.

Sherrod Brown said he did not care what Trump said about him. Everything is about Trump winning over some one else. The pettiest little soul I have ever seen. More arrogant than Nixon. In both it was absolute insecurity.

The way a Man should. He understood why they were angry, that they had a right to be.

I disagree with Mike on everything but on this one I am giving him credit. It is doubtful the bigoted old Republicans in the Statehouse will do anything unless they realize it will cost them.

Despise Mike again. He never solved that horrendous family murder in Southeastern Ohio.

And allowed Charter schools to rip tax payers royally.

Everyone wonders how he won against Richard Corday.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Ohio_gubernatorial_election

I worked the Cordray election...bitter pill to lose that one.

I thought we were rid of him when Sherrod defeated him. Cord ray was the opposite f corrupt.

so Joe can be “elevated”, in other words, not a realistic or rational position to take. Of course no one would suggest that Kamala be quiet so Joe can get more TV time. Some of the anti-Biden bias is so unbelievably unrealistic it’s hard to take seriously.

Regardless, Ive seen Beto on TV almost nonstop. Biden hasnt affected Beto’s TV time or his “elevation”, whatever that means. It’s great to see Beto out there, love his message too.

BTW, are these utter tragedies something Beto was “afforded”, too?? No offense, but to insinuate that Biden was “afforded” an opportunity to speak out about a tragedy is a bit over the top.

And I saw plenty of “gloating” over Kamala’s debate performance —maybe you saw that, too...? There were opinions saying that made her a sure thing against Trump, but that hasn’t held up as consistently as Biden’s polling which shows him maintaining his lead. So the complaints over “gloating” might be just enthusiastic support rather than something to take as a personal affront. Lots of enthusiasm over Biden yesterday, for sure. He’s a great Democrat.

Some at that very forum.

But I wish Cory Booker's speech, which was also outstanding and inspiring, had gotten more coverage than it it did.

and was making remarks at a campaign event in Iowa. It was covered by the media for that reason and because he directly spoke about Donald Trump, who was faking it in Dayton and El Paso.

Will it be a speech that is remembered by voters? Yes, I think so. The campaign continues.

President

Have you no shame?

we could use a good president

is strong in those areas.

The myth that Trump is doing wonders for the economy needs to be destroyed. All he has done has weakened the economy. That needs to be explained in a way that reaches the low-information voter so they see he is actually betraying them.

Same with defense - destroying relationships with allies and pulling out of treaties is seen as a strength to his supporters - that perception needs to be turned around. Trump has been able to redefine his opponents with his blistering attacks based on falsehoods. It is time to redefine Trump to at least a small percentage of his supporters, enough to deny him the chance of winning next year.

I realize that Biden supporters feel required to cheer lead about their candidate, everybody does who supports someone thinks everything they do is great.
I heard that Biden wrote the speech himself this weekend after being angry about Trump's comments about the shootings.
I thought he looked presidential as opposed to Trump who is either mocking and name-calling in a rant or giving a speech without empathy or passion, just reading words as if he has a gun to his head.

So Biden supporters, be proud, because your candidate did well. If he keeps that up he will pull away from the pack as long as he avoids the Biden gaffes and controls his tongue.

you heard that Biden wrote the speech himself?

Matter of fact Joe said he put away his planned speech at the beginning.

Do you remember where you heard it from?

Did Biden say he say he wrote it? eloc said he heard it was because Biden got angry, and decided to write it, after seeing trump's response to the massacre.

He put away his planned speech for the one he was giving.

I am pretty sure by this time that Joe can write his own speech with little help because he speaks from his heart.

And Sherrod Brown, Mayor Nan Whaley are remarkable. She has completely rebuilt Dayton, a long time Automotive town, beginning with Charles Kettering, it was devastated with 5 plants and NCR leaving. She has restored the area.

Sherrod said he did not care what Trump said about him, that he was a bully and coward.

Biden’s speech is being replayed over and over.

Trump had local well known Reporters put in a room with no access so they could do fake videos.

The Baby Blimp was here. Signs that said,” Welcome to Toledo!”

Mayor jokes.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/he-might-be-going-to-toledo-dayton-mayor-jokes-about-presidential-speech-gaffe

nonsensical...but now look at Sen. Harris down 11 points in favorability...attacking Biden as a racist in both debates was a mistake and a gaffe...the media was attacking Biden after the second debate...so I believe the gaffes are made up fantasy from those who support other candidates and the media. My husband came home yesterday very late from work...listened to the speech on the drive home...he came in and announced that Biden would win the nomination and the presidency...and he was on board...had been undecided until this point. He won't be the only one.

count chickens until the last vote is counted.. much less this far in advance.

Glad I got on this thread, though.. because it was posted that Biden maybe wrote his own speech. Hasn't been confirmed yet. But, I'd like to know if he did!

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=231408

I get that from my sports teams. It was a great moment for Joe and gave me a lot of hope.

my common sense.. 'cause of bush vs Gore.. trump vs Hillary.. and even Obama vs mitt.. that turned out well.. thank Goodness!

It was a stunning moment in history! trump's karma biting him in one speech, from Iowa, delivered by former VP Joe Biden

I know that I decided on Biden because of practicality. I felt that he had the best chance in the electoral college.
But with this speech my enthusiasm shot up. Now, I feel like he not only is the safe candidate, but the best one.
He showed vigor and humanity. A good combination for a candidate and a President.

You can bet many undecided and Independents will be deciding,too.

Joe laughs off Trump’s hateful remarks and that really gets to a bully. Much more than firing back.

When asked about what Trump said about him he responded,” He needs to get a life!”

Trumps whole life is built around TV. And hate.

I'll bet that polling a month from today will have Biden in the same place.

wanted so badly to show up at El Paso and Ohio —to change the dialogue and with pictures.

beat Trump...I think Biden will be the nominee maybe as soon as super Tuesday. People may not have read the speech but they heard excerpts on the news and also heard about how well received the speech was...no other candidate can beat Trump IMHO. I live in the Mid West and know how the other candidates would be received here. We need WI, MI and PA...I think Biden could take Ohio also.

by next week.
