he is old, I am old. I was listening to my sons 26, 28 and their friends and they were so despondent about the election. As soon as this happened on Sunday, I saw the hope.... the excitement. And this is a once in a lifetime where a major party really listens to and adjusts to what they hear. The youth will be beholden to make it to the polls and bring their friends.

I believe. That does not take away from Biden. But youth was feeling this and they were making it loud and clear.
