    He is often sharp and focused. But he also has moments, particularly later in the evening, when his thoughts seem jumbled and he trails off mid-sentence or seems confused. Sometimes he doesn’t grasp the finer points of policy details. He occasionally forgets people’s names, stares blankly and moves slowly around the room.

    Biden’s occasional struggles with focus may not be unusual for someone his age. But at 81 years old and seeking another four years in the White House, the moments when he’s off his game have taken on a fresh resonance following his disastrous debate performance against Republican Donald Trump. The president appeared pale, gave nonsensical answers, stared blankly and lost his train of thought.

    We’re not asking if grandpa can live on his own till or needs to move to a retirement home…

    We’re asking if Biden is up to 4 more years of literally the most stressful job in the country. One that has no set working hours and you might have to react to an international incident past 7pm.

      Same for the other guy who seems to only parrot the same rehearsed lines when asked to answer any questions directed at him.

        Yes. trump is obviously worse, not just because of his age, but because he’s a total psychopath.

        Which is why it’s so important he’s not president.

        And why sooooooo many Dem voters want a better candidate against him.

        Feel free to go demand trump steps down, it’ll be great if he did but he’ll never listen.

        Biden is supposed to be better tho, he’s supposed to be trying to help the country, not just personally become president. And right now the best thing Biden can do is stand down.

        Would have been a shitton better if he said he wasn’t running a year ago, but he didn’t.

        That doesn’t mean people have to stop saying damn near every metric and data point available shows Biden won’t be able to beat Trump.

        If it feels too late now, imagine how it’s going to feel in a month at the convention.

        Edit:

        Be careful though

        The main reason to vote Biden is to stop trump, if you get rid of trump, there goes Biden’s entire campaign and the replacement Republican will definitely win if it’s still Biden.
