I remember his great uncle Jack's national debut at the 1956 convention. God I feel old.

Joe kinda revved me up a bit, made me feel more hopeful and even maybe a little younger!

I wasn't interested in politics back then -- in fact I hated politics. Still do. It was only when I realized "hey, these people can HURT us" that I began paying a LOT of attention. Too much attention for my mental health these days.

He said "Black Lives Matter."

He said we would basically tear down any wall Trump built.

He didn't apologize for Democratic values -- he fully embraced and sold them.

Very well done and very inclusive. He probably said more in 15 minutes than Drumpf has said his entire term so far.
