Joe Biden comforting son of slain man after Parkland shooting...get Kleenex.



I’ll never forget the comfort that @JoeBiden brought Corey after he lost his dad in the Parkland shooting. This powerful new ad from @Your_Americans
illustrates Joe’s character. He has the compassion and leadership to bring this country together.

Can you imagine Trump in this situation? A young man with Down's Syndrome runs up crying and hugs on him?

Trump would be repulsed and would be trying to get away from the contact. No empathy, no sympathy, no humanity.

Biden has the human qualities we need in a leader.

...."Donald Trump would NEVER do any of this." Trump doesn't have an iota of empathy, compassion, a sense of fun, love or goodness in him. He wants to lead a nation. A nation is its PEOPLE. But he can not connect with or care about PEOPLE. He just doesn't. He can't. He has no capacity for it. And that - as much as anything else like skills or experience - is why he should NOT be President. It doesn't work. In fact, it's sadistic and abusive.
