Biden is talking to young people without Bernie. That's awesome! Talk to the youth through the public sphere, not through Bernie. I love it!

Oops, auto correct, I meant he's not READING, not "he's not ready"!

It's going well, and nice to see that there are no time limits on the questions and answers.

He's just a good, down to earth, great human being.

Such a format is probably new for all so I don't care about the little hiccups that happen but these warm 1 on 1s with actual points of interests from individuals and direct answers are a pretty good way to listen to a candidate without the pressure of a big media event or fixed time constraints for every question. It's also way better than the usual campaign events with more or less the same speech.

...a human being in line to be President, thank God!

BTW, he sucked me into another small contribution, my fifth in the last week.

He really connects via this medium... some of what he talked about was tear-jerking.

He's learning how to campaign in this new way very quickly.
