One of the greatest speeches I've ever heard, at a time when it is most needed
While there is still a hint of the stuttering issue that Biden used to have (to a greater extent),
it should be obvious, that there is no cognitive issues at all. That was an intentional misinterpretation.
Joe Biden is an experienced good public servant, who has care for fellow citizens and motivation to make things better on many fronts. He and his vice president are exactly who this country needs at this time
to unite and lead us out of the corrupt mess that the current lying "so-called" president has helped create.

I am chopping and changing .... I did feel he did not seem to look so frail and seemed mentally strong. It was a good speech, as was Obama's .
I am reading and watching and for the first time reading books on the contenders, one paperback on my list in my local book shop is called 'How to like Obama ' Strange title but It's next on my list.
However, this country has rebuilt from a Civil War, and a terrible depression. We CAN do it again with the right leadership. Clearly, that is not Trump.
I would like to see a debate between Trump and Biden
Doesn't sound like a sound election strategy.
How will the rioting likely stop if Biden is elected, Jim? Please explain this to us.
Riots happen because people feel there is no hope otherwise.
The people revolt in response to unfair treatment. That's the way it has always occurred in history.
With new leadership hope will be restored, especially when the election brings in people with more understanding, compassion, and a drive towards better equality.
Notice Biden blamed Trump for the China virus... AND NEVER EVEN MENTIONED CHINA?
He did mention China and our current dependency on them for manufacturing.
Biden pledged to have manufacturing of Covid-19 supplies here in the USA instead of China
to reduce our dependency upon them.
A lot of the blame has to go on Trump. Trump ignored over 10 warnings about the impending pandemic, some of which came from his own staff. He then denied the virus's capability and misled people about both it's severity and longevity. He did not follow the pandemic response roadmap. Prior to this he laid off much of the pandemic response team. He broke the law, by giving irrational medical advice, as well as touting insane cures like injecting disinfectant. Rather than create a central supply chain, he left states on their own to bid against each other for supplies, creating price soaring and shortages. He has urged states to open back up far too soon, creating a huge second wave. And now he is urging schools to open up too soon, which is likely to create a 3rd wave. Yes, he IS to blame for one of the worst responses in the world. Over 170,000 American dead. All Trump voters and supporters have to share somewhat in that guilt. The rest of us KNEW something like this was likely.
All Trump cares about is him. He doesn't care about the average American. He should never be elected to ANY public office.
Biden's speech reflects the sentiments of the party, so the VP and any potential successor to either of them would be following much the same agenda.
In later life, George Wallace grew away from his earlier stand on segregation.
That doesn't mean he should've been rewarded with the Presidency.
George Wallace held onto his earlier beliefs while running for the presidency.
Joe has obviously changed his beliefs before he was selected and served as VP
under Obama.
George Wallace was never VP.

That said -
The Individual holding the office of POTUS does count for Something & neither Joe nor Kamala are particularly good (Electable?) choices.
IMO.
Whether either of 'em is Better'n The Don depends on one's perception of The Don and/or His Policies/The 'Publican Platform.
Ms Harris, rather than find fault in their political point of view.
When those who can only vilify and malign, use proven facts from unbiased sources, maybe, just maybe, their credibility will move from the negative area they are in right now.

I find it amazing that Trump supporters can only vilify and make BS malicious comments about Biden and
Ms Harris, rather than find fault in their political point of view.

Biden -
Ms. Harris -
Therefore, in terms of Party or Candidate, there is only one choice, if we want to change things for the better.
I watched about 3 1/2 minutes and then glazed over.
A good orator can hold the audience's attention.
Trump can hold my attention for longer, admittedly for all the wrong reasons.
Harbal most people said Obama "sounded" like a president. He promised "hope and change", and I - like most people wished him success. What he delivered, however, was far from it.
Nonetheless, for the terrific job he did, over 170 of the experts in the field of presidential history determined him to be the 8th best president the US has ever had. Those same experts (conservative & liberal), based on 50 different presidential criteria, voted Trump as the worst president in US history. Indeed, none of the judges (even conservative) voted Trump better than 3rd worst president in US history. So, you are welcome to have your uneducated opinion. We all are. But those people who actually not only know American history better than us, but indeed, are the experts in that field of study , collectively have judged both presidents in detail and found them to be at opposite ends of the spectrum with Trump being the worst ever.
A good orator can hold the audience's attention.
Regardless, I didn't state that Biden is an exceptional orator.
I said that the speech was one of the best I've heard.
If you aren't motivated to listen to it, read it.
It's an antiquated system and needs to be either eliminate or at least replaced with a compromise of some sort.
That didn't work out well either.
