38. It's impossible to adequately put into words. What a great human being. I think Joe Biden is.

Look at this guy. Completely down to earth, self deprecating, humble, kind, engages all of the people and shakes their hands with a smile. He has cancer on top of it. In his bones.

As lovely as it is to see him smiling being appreciated, it also reminds me of how horribly he’s been treated. It actually sickens me.
