(22,989 posts)19. As an Undecided I thought Biden gave an intelligent and impressive speech.
I realize that Biden supporters feel required to cheer lead about their candidate, everybody does who supports someone thinks everything they do is great.
I heard that Biden wrote the speech himself this weekend after being angry about Trump's comments about the shootings.
I thought he looked presidential as opposed to Trump who is either mocking and name-calling in a rant or giving a speech without empathy or passion, just reading words as if he has a gun to his head.
So Biden supporters, be proud, because your candidate did well. If he keeps that up he will pull away from the pack as long as he avoids the Biden gaffes and controls his tongue.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Most voters didn't see the speech, and don't watch political shows that will talk about it
