HRC also stated some facts about Vance:
As Tim Alberta noted Sunday in The Atlantic, the Trump campaign tapped J.D. Vance in an attempt to harden the Republican base, only to find now that he cannot bring to the ticket any of the new supporters they suddenly need.
According to Harry Enten of CNN, Vance is the first vice presidential pick since 1980 who has entered the race with a negative favorability rating: in his case, –6 points. Since 2000, the usual average is +19 points. Vance won his Senate seat in 2022 by +6 points in an election Republican governor Mike DeWine won by +25 points. Vance “was the worst performing Republican candidate in 2022 up and down the ballot in the state of Ohio,” Enten said. “The J.D. Vance pick makes no sense from a statistical polling perspective.”
Sarah Longwell of The Bulwark, who specializes in focus groups, noted that swing voters groups “simply do not like” Vance. “Both his flip flopping on Trump and his extreme abortion position are what breaks through,” she wrote.

I think you are right Divine. I never thought of the 'youngsters' Pres. Biden picked, but even not paying attention to age I thought he picked some of the best well rounded people for the positions he asked them to take.
Like you, I do want Pres. Biden to have that fantastic legacy along with the long years of service he devoted to us and to democracy. So much heartbreak and yet he never let go of us. So much faithful service for others always.

So many have husbands/others to help- Shanagirl, Mel, Intolight. I live alone, as does Mara. I pace myself, but it all falls on me- meal prep, laundry, housework, all of it. I cannot afford a maid or someone to come in and do things. So I just do on my own. What choice do I have.
Intolight- When the nurse asks me if I am depressed, I say OF COURSE. But I follow up with No I am not suicidal. Good grief, we have MBC, who wouldn't be depressed.

Mara Glad you treated yourself to the portable washer! You work so hard and your hands certainly deserve a break too. Enjoy your new gadget😊

Oh Candy, I hate that question. Are you depressed? But of course I get mad and let them figure it out. They have no clue why all the prescriptions.
I'll try to remember and politely/cheerfully answer 'Of course, who wouldn't be."
Cancer aside there's tons of shit going on in this world and I only see it getting worse.
It's raining! I love rain.

Irish~ I really hope hubby improves soon. I’d keep an eye on that fever issue. That’s hard on an adult for periods of time. I really hope that it will break and he will start feeling better. Must be a heck of a strand. I was in bed for a week but had no fever. I’m thinking of you guys. Alternate Tylenol and acetaminophen to try to lower the fever. Everything just seems so difficult for us.

Jackie, your writing is so elegant. I love how you describe the Republican ticket: “An old senile white guy who is a con, and a no nothing (with nothing much on his political resume) suck-up who is from a state that was going to go red anyway.” Exactly.
It’s always been my feeling all along that Biden made many of his cabinet choices with the mind to grooming younger Dems to take the reins from those of his generation. I thought that most definitely about Pete. I also remember a year or two into his presidency, he said that he has Kamala take part in absolutely every single important meeting he conducts. I also felt that was him grooming her to know what lies ahead in a presidency. This is why, as Trish said, Biden was who we needed at the exact time he was elected, for a myriad of reasons.
Another meme I loved today: all Biden’s amazing accomplishments while dealing with a split down the middle Congress. He’s been such a great president. That is one reason why I’m glad that he is passing the torch now. His legacy will be one of moving our country forward. I want to see the President, our “Uncle Joe”, be celebrate for what he’s done, and not have the media giving us pitying coverage of him.
