The Republicans and Trump have been howling at he moon about Pres. Bidens age

I am a little confused here.. They are all lining up behind Trump to declare President Biden unfit for office because of his age.. Being the oldest President ever elected..


Well my little friends on the right.. You are backing a person who would be older than President Biden was when he first took office. I am pretty sure of that.. how do you square that circle??

At least with President Biden, his age has been an advantage.. he uses his wisdom to make the best decisions .. Former Pres Trump.. not so much. The older he gets the more off the charts he is.. Besides, he (Trump) took all those boxes of documents.. some of them highly secret and tried to hide them.. he is a liar and dangerous to our county..

It is his years of experience. It is the way he has stayed healthy. He does not live on junk food. It seems that he exercises. I could learn a thing or two from him myself.

Let’s have a Jeopardy contest with the two of them; a one mile bike race; and then stand next to each other on stage wearing just gym shorts and a tee shirt.
I think that would finish the discussion.

Please understand I am saying this with all of the respect I can muster for your thread and the President. As an independent, I know of NO ONE who is excited about a Biden run in 2024. I consider it bad judgement on his part and those around him to run again, he has served well, bridged a gap, got us out of the hideous orange man years.
BUT... to me his message is that there is no talent in the Democrat party to take on 2024... He is saying a Goldman/Jeffries ticket can't make it, a Newsome/Swalwell ticket can't make it - only Biden/Harris. I disagree greatly. I am afraid too many will stay away from the election and it will be difficult to energize the youth vote.
The country needs a fresh new ticket...think about it... Hakeem Jeffries and Dan Goldman...
A question for you on the age issue, if you need an attorney to represent you on a serious matter, do you want Robert Mueller or do you want Jack Smith?
It is time for some of the oldsters to step aside and let the 45-65 age group take the challenge.
I am not what I was 10 years ago, and I am considerably younger than Biden.
Hope no one takes offense to this message.

I think Biden has done a good job, but people think he is too old. We are not going to convince millions that he is not too old.

But you have to look at the whole picture. Joe Biden is experienced, he exercises often, he is a very compassionate person. He does have a few gaffs but don’t we all. There are so many good things about him. Now compare him to Trump. There is no comparison. There are a lot of good Democratic people who would also be great. They are just not as wise and experienced as Joe. If he had both the house and senate and expanded the Supreme Court. Right now the Supreme Court is so far to the right that would only be fair to place a few moderate to liberal judges on there. Wishful thinking! If Joe Biden is our nominee in 2024 then I will most certainly vote for him. God forbid Trump gets in there again. If he did I don’t think he would (health wise) last his term. You can take what I think or not that’s your prerogative

I'm excited about his running again, because he's exceeded my expectations.

Only deluded nitwits and traitors think he's done a bad job in office.

All three were born in 1946. Trump in June, Bush in July, and Clinton in August.

So, interesting that the year 1946 gave us 3 Presidents. Trump, being the oldest.
