We did it!!!

I always knew his base is rock solid, because of you guys.

We never doubted.

Peace love coming to a government near you real soon.

A couple days before he announced, and I knew he had more to give than how he was being portrayed in the media at the time.

Have been torn between him, Warren, and Beto (had good reasons to really like and consider the other candidates as well).

The whole time, I have found him both safe AND exciting, as I think his platform is grounded in reality, achievable, and fairly progressive. Is all good stuff for taking on modernity, imo.

Hubby (even while registered as a Republican) and I always liked Biden. Down-to-earth, said what was on his mind--even when he caught hell for it--and a genuinely decent man, a people person. Biden, of course, had run for POTUS before. He was never my guy then. But on this round? I decided that Joe's experience, knowledge and trustworthiness was exactly what the country needed after our toxic dose of Trumpism. My husband agreed.

It's been a rollercoaster ride, the ups and downs, the numerous obituaries, the ludicrous accusations of fraud and malfeasance. But I always thought if Joe Biden could take the searing heat and survive, then his campaign would be adequately tempered for his run against Trump and his equally odious enablers.

And that is exactly what has happened.

Bernie Sanders may have doubts about Biden's ability to win in November. But personally, I have no doubts that Biden, his team and a unified Democratic Party will chew Trump into a thousand tiny pieces and then spit him out along with the foul taste.

Last night's debate was a command performance from Biden. He looked the part, sounded the part and I think for many? Doubts were burned away and what stood before us was a President-in-Waiting.

So for all Biden supporters--the early gang, the middle of the pack joiners, and the late but newly convinced--there's one message:

We Can Win This Thing!

bummed out phase . Mourning that Beto is not a possible VP anymore. Has absolutely zero to do with valid gender issues, just thought he'd be a perfect mate.

Biden's experience, wisdom, and dignity matched with Beto's youth, energy, and optimism. Plus it puts TX in play. If anyone experienced his rock star rallies when he ran against Cruz and saw young and old together and all the euphoria, you might agree.

I would love for Beto to be Education Sec.
Not sure he’s qualified but the energy and optimism rebuilding the public school system would be boundless. Think of some upbeat positive person in charge of our schools. Priceless.

25. Campaign signals Sanders may be open to exit

Bernie Sanders signaled Wednesday that he was open to ending his presidential run after another round of landslide losses to Joe Biden, and new signs emerged of communication between the two camps as some Democrats hoped for a swift end to a bruising primary.

Sanders campaign officials said the senator from Vermont planned to leave Washington and return home, where he and his wife, Jane, would talk to supporters and determine the future of his presidential run. The campaign also suspended its Facebook ads and, uncharacteristically, made no request for donations in an email to backers updating them on the situation.

Biden deputy campaign manager Kate Bedingfield revealed that aides to the two candidates have been in touch regularly to discuss the public health crisis that has gripped the country, disclosing talks that could form the basis of a broader agreement on policies and might make Sanders more comfortable leaving the race.

Joy to the world. I love his message on his victories last night, so Joe-like in his acknowledgment and
conciliation to Sanders and followers.

It has been frustrating not being able to donate to Joe.

On the plus side, I got to meet Joe twice at fundraisers and got to discuss stuttering with him. I got a really nice hug from Joe.

Joe is the best person to beat trump and to repair the damage done by trump
