Here's my take. Because Biden took on TRump directly and forcefully, all eyes will be

on his after announcement 24 hr fund raising total.

I have a few favorites that I have given to, and believe Biden is worthy of a few bucks.

If he sinks quickly, then his opening message sinks with him, and opens the door for the dimwit to heckle.

Having said that, while he's a solid candidate, he still needs to win over primary voters like everyone else.

I encourage folks to give him a few bucks. I believe it is very important that his message be respected in these next few days.

Love my peeps!

candidate that can bring back white working class voters to the democratic party. He doesn't have to attack any primary challenger and he can take the policy positions of the Obama admin from education to equal rights without taking about handouts and free giveaways the challengers are doing. He has national name recognition which means everything

with Sanders.

That said, the field is bigger, so he shouldn't have to get mired down in it, either.

Joe is fearless when it comes to going after 45. No matter who gets the nom he knows how to land a punch and I can almost FEEL the Democrats and Republicans both watching to see what happens. Just by being there he will determine a lot of courses.

And WE are America! It’ll be wonderful to see us work together. If we pass that by we are just prey. And I’ve fought too hard to let the monster hurt my people.
