This is why I think @JoeBiden is the right candidate. I’m more ideologically aligned with other candidates (I’m a #WarrenDemocrat), but Biden is the one who has been talking all along about this being a fight over the soul of America. We need to crush this or lose our country.

There is an intimacy to the speeches in this most unconventional convention that just wouldn’t happen in a traditional format. I have to think that is absolutely the right tone for a time like this. And it worked best tonight in the hands of Michelle Obama. Remarkable speech.
