1. Brayden did a great job at the convention. What a gift to let him speak.

Can anyone see Trump taking the time to do the same? He'd probably make fun of him and then shun him because he hates people who stutter.

2. Trump would have joined the bullies and just made fun of the kid. It's a defining difference....

...between the two candidates.

3. This is a shock to my system! Used to that uncompassionate 'thing" in the W.H.!

4. He's giving that young man...

something that's priceless: Courage. That a man running for President of the United States would take the time to help Brayden's self-image, and continue to help him, is worth more to that boy than anything in the world. He will never forget that kindness, and he has something those bullies will never have: A friend and mentor in the White House.

Joe is the most decent and honorable man in politics today. Can you imagine how the world will rejoice when Joe is elected President of the United States?

5. Wonderful... Makes Me Smile and Feel Good..This will defeat Donald Trump..totally and completely.

6. Wow. Powerful. I saw the same effect on people when my father shared that his disability did

not define him, did not slow him down, or keep him from striving to achieve the same, and much more, than able bodied.

You could see it in people's faces...here was an important man telling them that they could hope to look beyond their disability.

That the right to seek some type of normal life, with fewer barriers to buildings and to the ladder of success, was a civil right.

Some would smile, some beam, some would softly tear up. But always an impact. A reaction to a human outreach of genuine concern and empathy that is far too rare.

And Joe Biden clearly has that empathy.
