So touching....

*so as not to "jinx" I'll just say I hope and determinedly intend to make it happen.

1. K&R for visibility. nt

[MontanaMama]

2. Kick for Brayden's courage.

And that of his folks. As a mama, it would be very difficult for me to put my child out there...It was all done so well and with so much love.

[SheltieLover]

3. K&R!

9. K&R N/T

[Totally Tunsie]

6. Joe always manages to find the right words at the right time.

Our nation has been starved for his compassion and empathy. He will be a healer for all.

[rurallib]

17. Or that many were cured of stuttering by him just so

they could call him a mother fucker.

(If this is offensive in any way I will pull it. I just thought it would show how Trump always comes up with lies that he is the greatest anything)

[bbernardini]

7. How long until Drumpf tweets that Barron has a much bigger and better stutter? nt

[hlthe2b]

12. I'm just terrified that Trump might mock this poor kid in an attempt to mock Biden.

and like he did with the reporter who had a limb contracture disability.

I hold my breath.

[lastlib]

25. I will hound him to the ends of the earth if he does.

I think he knows that the wrath of the world would descend on him if he did. Not that that would stop him, just ask Greta Thunberg. Picking on a kid would be the lowest thing he could do.

[Paladin]

26. I won't be surprised if trump does exactly that.

That's the kind of vile, hateful street trash he is. And plenty of his psycho supporters will back him if he does it.

[smirkymonkey]

13. The poor kid. Trump would probably mock him if he ever caught him stuttering.

All he would care about would be how it would reflect on HIM!

[smirkymonkey]

10. What a wonderful, brave young boy!

Brayden was so inspiring and I am glad that Joe was there to be able to inspire him.

I wish Brayden all the best in life!

[BadGimp]

11. wow

I'm not cryin, you're cryin...

[fierywoman]

20. You and me. Amazing kid with an amazing soul.

[pazzyanne]

14. K&R

[byronius]

18. That got me.

[Thunderbeast]

19. Our country is full of bright, compassionate kids!

Brayden Harrington represents a cohort of young people who may well be defined as the "Covid/Trump" Generation. They will live their lives KNOWING what apathy and failure by their parents and grandparents can do. Just as the challenges of the depression and WWII defined the "Greatest Generation", today's young people will KNOW that ATTENTION MUST BE PAID! They will NEVER let a demagogue like Trump get close to power again.

Thank you Brayden. Your speech DOES NOT define you. Your courage, skills, and hard work will.

Speaking for the boomers, I sincerely apologize for not doing enough to resist the evil that is Trump. WE WERE COMPLACENT! WE LET IT HAPPEN! Your generation paid the high price for our lack of diligence.

21. Let's see the side by side ad Brayden on 1 side tRump on the other mocking the disabled NYT reporter

Please, someone, point out Bravery vs Cowardice.

[DeminPennswoods]

33. Right with you on that

It would be a great compare and contrast ad. Even most conservatives draw the line at mocking the disabled.

[nolabear]

22. He's a good man. I'm glad Brayden is helping him win.

I feel very protective of that lad. I hope everyone rallies around and keeps him safe from assholes and exploiters. I think the DNC and Joe have done it just right so far.

[sellitman]

23. Just seeing this now for the 1st time.

[NurseJackie]

24. L💖VE!

[Hamlette]

27. love this

[BlueJac]

28. Awesome

[honest.abe]

29. His name is spelled Brayden. ... "den".

Its also our son's name and people often misspell or mispronounce it... unfortunately.

[hlthe2b]

31. Yes, corrected. Unfortunately, I'd already seen it spelled Braden, Bradon, Braydon, and Braiden all

over the internet, so I was already primed to misspell it.

[honest.abe]

32. Yes, totally understandable.

[MerryBlooms]

30. R&K!
