rather than The Twilight Zone.

They spoke of hope for the future and how to repair our broken country.

I know it said you could donate any amount, but I couldn't do it. Silly, maybe. But it's like going out for dinner, when you can't tip the server. Just stay home.

I wanted to see and hear them both together. A dollar would’ve done it, but they were both worth much more than that.But to be honest, Obama would have done it, but Joe was the one who made me proud and excited.

Jo was pretty deferential to his president, but unlike Pence, he had his own talking points. Crystal clear.

My scrolling didn’t pick it up.

I guess I was just too excited about the content.

It doesn’t seem like that many here did, however, judging by the number of comments. People seem to be more eager to listen to what nonsense Trump has to say in Phoenix than in what two intelligent, thoughtful people have to say about real issues for rebuilding the country and the world.

We’re not going to win if we keep ignoring our own candidate (and ex-president).

And it was as wonderful as you can imagine.
I donated before the event, I donated during the event.
Just couldn't help myself!

As I wrote in the other thread, it was wonderful to see the adults in charge. I truly felt hope. I had tears in my eyes. Joe Biden is, without a doubt, the person we need for the job.

Any time you can see President Obama, well,
