In reply to the discussion: Hey, Joe, can I have a hug? [View all]hlthe2b
(114,224 posts)29. One of the very saddest things from Trump's child separation is that their "care-takers"
are absolutely the opposite of providing care. They do not touch, they do not comfort, they do NOTHING to help these psychically damaged children.
How I wish they had caring people WHO WOULD use benign touch to comfort them to help them cope.
To have a grandfatherly figure like Biden reach out and hug them, put a shoulder on their arm, tell them he understands and most importantly show that he CARES--how much of a difference might that make. That human connection is invaluable.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

He might be sincere. Or he might continue making jokes about asking permission. Time will tell.

I like the point Barbara Boxer made. . . do we want all men to be like Mike Pence?
