How is Joe Biden doing?

[IrishEyes]

I can't watch the town hall because I'm in class until 10:00pm. I wish I could watch it.

2. Great, HIGHLY informed about all the issues presented.

[Claustrum]

3. He is calm, really really prepared, have the facts and numbers ready, warm.

The questions are sometimes tough but he deal with it much better than I expected (eg. the crime bill question).

4. Doing a good job bringing Repubs over to the fold

[CTyankee]

5. He's talking rapidly but that is because he wants to answer questions given by audience members.

He offered to speak with one young man after the program if he had further questions. I suppose Trumpers think that is suspect. To me it shows respect.

I think he comes across as very human, very eager to help, and just a helluva guy.

6. This is how he is doing:

7. Excellent!

I'm sure ABC will post it on YouTube afterward, so you can watch later. You won't be disappointed.

8. He's doing great! Joe knows how to talk to people

one on one. He’s being Joe. He cares.

[LSparkle]

25. Totally blowing me away ... best I've seen him in a bit

He’s armed with stats and figures — so much more focused than tRump.

38. Watching him handling a foreign policy question from a

Trump supporter. Perfect answer with examples.

9. Great!

10. No notes and no teleprompter.

My only mild criticism would be that he is so full of facts and numbers he may be baffling some of the people asking questions a little, but he damn sure knows his stuff. He sounds like a man who has surrounded himself with experts and is listening to them and absorbing it all. In other words, the Anti-Trump.

11. Engaged. Experienced. Knowledgeable. Biden has a down to earth yet authoratative manner.

[Historic NY]

12. He's hitting on it all...

[bdamomma]

23. I liked

his answers about de-escalating issues police find themselves in. Have Social Workers and people who know how to handle certain situations.

[TDale313]

13. Really well. n/t

[regnaD kciN]

14. Overall, very good...

...the answer on expanding the Court wasn't his best moment, but there's little else he could have said (which was basically, "I'd like to avoid such things, but we'll see" ).

[CatMor]

15. Doing great

[ok_cpu]

16. He's doing great

It's clear why tRump had to make it as difficult as possible to directly compare and contrast he and Joe in a setting like this, first by refusing to appear with him and then by demanding they be on separate networks at the same time.

[Baitball Blogger]

17. It's his format. He's doing very well.

I like it better without the traffic noise in the background.

[bdamomma]

18. very good

sensible and coherent.

[Botany]

19. He is sometimes the kindly law school professor who enjoys a good question and explaining things.

He is doing very well.

[Freethinker65]

20. 👍🏽

[Doreen]

21. I just tuned in 5 minutes ago.

Hearing Biden talk immediately made me think I love you Joe. He is so knowledgeable and a calm soothing manner. In other words he is doing great.

[arlyellowdog]

22. Fabulous

Tune in!

[vapor2]

24. George trying to hold him to answer about court packing

I understand why he won't or shouldn't commit to court packing at this point in time.

[Bluepinky]

26. He's excellent! I like him even more than before.

It’s refreshing to hear him! 🤗

[gracemcdonald]

27. Winning over Independents

Loved the way he answered the Republican's questions. Made it clear his presidency will not be one of grudges(like Trump's has been), and he will make a point to reach over the aisle. That is sure to win over some Republicans and Independents.

[whttevrr]

28. He is doing well His answers are cogent and thorough

He is showcasing his extensive knowledge and experience. I believe that he and a dedicated team can right this ship and bring us confidently into the future.

When possible you should definitely watch this. it will give you hope.

[WyLoochka]

29. Don't miss it later

Anyone watching Trump is really missing out. Biden is doing a fantastic job.

[chillfactor]

30. He is doing a fabulous job!

I am enjoying EVERY minute...calm, reassuring,
knowledgeable. he is very good at answering the audiences questions regardless of party affiliation of the questioners.

[SheltieLover]

31. Exceptional!!!!

[shrike3]

32. Doing very well, IMO. Right now he's talking about renewable energy

[Baked Potato]

33. He's making me proud to be a Democrat!

[liberal N proud]

34. He talks to the people and answers the questions

Or explains whay he shouldn't answer the question.

[BumRushDaShow]

35. If you look at the body language and eyes of each questioner

you'll eventually see them light up a bit. When he starts getting "folksy", he penetrates their psyche.

On the other hand, Stupidfuckidous is living up to my name for him.

[Bluepinky]

36. Haven't heard him say "bigly" once! He can actually speak in sentences unlike the current occupant

of our White House. He provides coherent answers, full explanations, which is so unusual now.
Love Biden’s answer “America first is America alone.”
Putin is more highly respected than Trump.

[Awsi Dooger]

37. He's doing great

Admittedly I'm watching on delay. Every answer I've seen so far is excellent other than I thought he was overly complicated toward the young black man who wanted reasons why young blacks should vote at all.

But the next response toward the crime bill was superb. Biden didn't shy from what he regretted and fully explained how everything played out and what needs to change. He really got a positive response from the questioner when he said, "Cops don't like bad cops," but the system is set up to discourage reporting bad cops from within.
