Once in a Lifetime


That is the greatest political ad I have ever seen. Like he was at Gettysburg to me, Joe Biden seems not here, he is above it and us, looking down. Trying to help us in our restless souls, in our sickness, amidst death, in our uncertain future. As he said at Gettysburg and many times, it is the soul of America that is at stake. As he did the boy who lost his father in the Parkland shooting, the boy who ran up to him and hugged him, who shook his head when he asked him, “You doing alright?” he hugged that boy tight to his chest and kissed the top of his head and said, “It’ll be alright. You’ll be alright.” Trying to help, that is all Joe Biden is doing.
