He feels things so deeply, that is what we are missing, a leader with a true heart, one who has empathy for those who have been injured, or forgotten. My hope is he continues to be himself, to tell the story about the horrible losses he has endured. To tell the story of his father at the kitchen table when he lost his job. This is a man who is clearly the average American and can relate if they let him do so.

I bet he give good hugs too.

He is genuinely caring and authentic.

They should do interviews with the many people who rode on Amtrak with Joe for years. He is the most down-to-earth politician in Washington. And he can talk with foreign leaders with the same ease and comfort.
