I'll be honest--I thought Biden might be an anti-climax...

...after some of the speeches we've heard this week. But I should have known better. He looked, sounded, like a President. The best speech I've ever heard from him. We're in good hands...

His speech, his demeanor, were comforting and inspiring. He was presidential!

Of course I was already going to vote for him. I'll be honest too, I was never a fan but I am now!
Agree we are in good hands.

Blessings on him, Kamala, and their families.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, this week has been outstanding. And, well, I did watch the Democratic debates.

But he did it. I feel a lot better and more confident tonight. Biden is definitely up to the task of kicking MF45's doughy ass.

but he really put that concern to rest BIGTIME !

He was so genuinely genuine, relatable, and Presidential all at the same time. His whole life has been a preparation for this moment....

....and, at last, an adult has entered the room!
