Excellent piece. Your unique perspective in showing the contrast between VP Harris and Trump in similar situations is a wonderful tribute to her humanity and genuineness.

Yes! I did notice even with the amazing position she was in at that moment, she emphasized the accomplishments of the athletes. A true leader is often selfless, and that’s a very good thing. Yay Kamala!

Never forget that Presidents up until Trump feted NCAA champions with swanky dinners and a reception. Trump ordered from McDonalds. True story. Just like going to Puerto Rico after the hurricane and throwing paper towels at the victims. Classy guy, no?

Reading this just fuels more hope in me for our beloved nation. President Biden and VP Harris are both class acts. We do not have to agree with every policy or decision made, but these two leaders are great models of calm and sanity in the midst of the chaos some want to feed. There is such genuineness and authenticity demonstrated by both of them.

Again. Look at Mexico. Who just won the presidency in a predominantly Catholic, Muy Macho country? A Jewish liberal woman! If it can happen in Mexico, it will happen here

…”She instantly elevated all of us… and continues to do this … the grace and evenly paced rhythms of her speaking voice and her gentle sense of humor have completely captured me … what a joy to have lived long enough to see/hear/celebrate with everyone this most exciting (optimistic) period in our democracy’s two hundred plus year ‘experiment!’

So just so I understand this correctly, you don’t know what Harris’s policies are that she’s running on for president, but it will make you feel good to vote for a women so that’s why you’re supporting her?
