“It was awful. It was mean. It was disrespectful” said Mary Doody about how top Democrats treated Pres. Joe Biden, pressuring him to end his presidential candidacy. What Mary Doody said is a bunch of Doody, because Biden's debate performance was so shitty that he had absolutely no chance of defeating even badly flawed candidate Trump. washingtonpost.com/style/power #politics #JillBiden #BidenLegacy #JoeBidensBestKnownBoast = #WeFinallyBeatMedicare

The Washington Post · Jill Biden still hopes for a good endingBy Kara Voght
Continued thread

#JillBiden, during her remarks, pointed to her husband’s moments of humility, & reflected on the moment a few weeks ago when #Biden ended his reelection bid.

“I saw him dig deep into his soul & decide to no longer seek reelection & endorse #KamalaHarris,” she said. “With faith & conviction, Joe knows that our nation’s strength doesn’t come from #intimidation or #cruelty. It comes from the small acts of #kindness that #heal deep wounds.”

“Thank you, Joe #Biden, for your leadership,” Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (#AOC) said shortly after.

“Let’s salute President #JoeBiden,” #HillaryClinton said. “He has been #democracy’s champion at home & abroad.”

As the evening switched to focus on Biden, his family was a constant presence. Sen Chris Coons quoted Biden’s mother (“You’re defined by your courage & redeemed by your loyalty”), talked about Biden’s record, & thanked #JillBiden as the crowd held aloft green signs that read, “JILL.”

His wife, first lady #JillBiden, kept crying. His daughter, Ashley, dabbed her eyes. His son, Hunter, looked on from backstage. The crowd was electrified, eager for a cathartic moment after a weeks-long barrage of can-you-believe-this moments. #Biden looked out at his family, who have been a backbone of his career and sounding board for the most difficult decisions of his political life.

Susan, this is very wrong. We did not divert resources from FPOTUS #Trump & protection models don't work that way. As far as "field office teams" these are the candidate nominee operations teams that are added during election years for the heavy travel tempo.
