THIS is good

I like this. Just keep doing something. Even if it's shot down. Just keep trying. Look like a fighter. Leave it on the mat. This is good politics and what I wanted to see from Biden.

Who asked something about the Taliban. I didn’t hear her question, but Joe delivered the word with a real edge through a broad smile. Then knocked on the podium.
That’s some Irish right there.

This is why I was okay with him being the nominee even though he wasn't my first choice. I knew he could jump into the driver's seat while the bus is careening toward the cliff full scream ahead, then steer us away from danger because he already knew how to drive the bus like a pro.

I'll vote for him again, no problem. The value of his experience is coming home to roost and it's one of the best things that could happen right now.

Yes Siree. You keep on doing. Shot down? Just keep on going. Leave it on the mat.

This is a turn on Hillary's comment about failing/falling down.

'It's not about the fall itself,' she quipped. 'We all fall down. It's all about how we get up.'

Them fighting words and fighting Joe is the perfect vessel to reiterate the message.

Fight it until your knuckles are bloody. Then fight it again.

That's how we win. That's how we've always won.
