Joy.

"Bringing Back The Joy"

I felt it and I felt that from the candidates, Harris and Walz, and from those that attended in the tens of thousands. Their enthusiasm was infectious.

I have never been prouder of our party. I was crying and they were tears of joy. I know for a fact that we can do this. We can.

I felt it in 2008, 2012 and 2016. I felt determination and relief in 2020 (and President Biden is the best president of my 65-year lifetime).

I feel happy now - because of our strong ticket. And, because they are, like the kidz say, leaving it all on the field.

I think the momentum we’ve seen may even pick up.

As I watched this team, I thought that we owe an enormous debt to President Biden, not only for being a great president the past three plus years but also for being one of the most decent, strongest persons around to give up his dream of a second term so a stronger candidate could have a chance. That s true leadership.

I agree 100% about Joe, he helped make this happen. One of the best in my lifetime and he will see that it continues.

Such a contrast to the cacophony of nastiness from the other side.

They want to take us back to a place where women are subservient and no longer have a voice, choice or free will. They hate women, that is a fact.

We won't go back.

I am feeling good about our Harris and Walz team.

I think this is a win win situation and the sun will come out tomorrow and will prove to be a beautiful day with T and V on the ropes not knowing what hit them.

worst nightmare. It will continue to get worse for him every day. That's a good thing.

This is likely the strongest Democratic Party ticket in my lifetime.

I also can't wait for the debate between Vance and Walz. I do believe it will be a TKO.

"bringing back the joy". We so desperately need that as a country. Our party is all in for this one. Let the naysayers and nasty weirdos crawl back under their rocks.

Let's do this!

And all lefties wherever in the world they may be. This was trump's last hurrah; when he loses the only headlines we will see are about his crimes and trials. Then his death. Not that I'm suggesting we should wish for it .....
