I swear this is not concern trolling but is anyone else

[jezebel321]

noticing how old Joe Biden is looking? I love him and would love to vote for him and 100% know he would be so much better than Trump, but last night my husband commented how old he looked in his twitter video and I don't know if its the power of suggestion but that was my first thought seeing him just now.
Maybe it is our own age? My husband and I are late 30s, early 40.

1. He looks young for his age, healthy, in great shape.

And he has decades more experience than people your age.

[narnian60]

28. +100

Yes.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. He looks like most people his age look.

It is your own age. Just wait.... Someday you'll look in the mirror and see your own grandmother.

[Peacetrain]

5. +1000

Amen to that

[jezebel321]

9. well I am already seeing my Mom somtimes :) nt

[LongtimeAZDem]

3. Watching his speech, he looks Presidential to me

He is old, there's no denying it. But, I haven't seen anything that tells me he's not up for this, and I truly believe he's the only one of the available choices that can repair the damage done bu Trump.

[PatSeg]

17. His speech was excellent

He hasn't lost his touch and isn't ready to be turned out to the pasture yet.

[padah513]

19. He sounded like a President

Clear, concise, assuring.

[PatSeg]

21. And Joe has always had a gift

for connecting with people. Anyone who has met him in person ends up being a Joe fan for life (well obviously there are a few exceptions, but I think the photos show otherwise).

[floppyboo]

4. he would be 100% better than Trump or any Republican

Hell, if he used the Trump model, he could use executive time to nap and shave 20 years off his appearance!

[jezebel321]

10. he certainly looks more natural than the orange monster nt

[samnsara]

6. i noticed that, in some lighting, he doesnt look his best...:(

..i'm sure Beau's death took a huge toll on him.. and now these damned accusations...how much must a good man endure?

[jezebel321]

8. that is what I was thinking it may be. I realize the attacks this last week must be

terrible for both him and his family and that must be taking a toll.

[MineralMan]

7. Thanks for letting us know it's not that.

[democratisphere]

11. Joe Biden looks and sounds strong and vibrant!

Don't know what you are looking at.

[highplainsdem]

15. Yes, he does.

[justhanginon]

12. Wnen you get my age, 82, you never want to look in the mirror

in the morning until you have at least washed your face, combed your hair and if a man, shaved. Then and only then you may just squint your eyes, take a quick look and then go about your day secure in the knowledge that you don't look a day over 60.

[FM123]

13. That's what 76 looks like (and not too shabby if you ask me)

I was just noticing how many 76'ers there are out there that are still so young at heart, full of energy and doing their thing: Paul McCartney, Harrison Ford, Barbra Streisand, Carole King ...

[highplainsdem]

16. I've seen 50somethings and 60somethings who looked older and much less healthy than Joe Biden.

[FM123]

23. alas, I am one of those 50somethings, lol

[PatSeg]

18. Did you see Mick Jagger on SNL

a couple years back? The energy was astounding. The same with Paul McCartney when he entertained the Obamas in the White House. Some people actually do seem to get better with age.

[uponit7771]

14. I've seen much worse, I pray I'm as healthy as Joe Biden when I'm 76 ... amen

[MineralMan]

20. I'm 73 now. I could do a campaign, but I have no interest in it.

Joe has been campaigning for many, many years. He knows what it takes. Apparently, he's up for it, so I'm sure he's up to it, as well.

He's not trying to hide his age.

[CentralMass]

22. No. Joe Biden looks younger the his years.

[hlthe2b]

24. When he smiles he looks like a vibrant, healthy, happy, much younger man to me.

He's sharp as a tack and I feel relief that he or someone like him among our candidates--who knows how to get things done and espouses our interests and views-- will be taking on Trump in 2020.

[Atticus]

25. I have corns that are in their "late 30's, early 40's" and I am not yet ready to quit

the field of battle. Joe's fine.

[marybourg]

26. In my wanderings among the news sites

this morning, I was brought up short by a pic of Biden in which he looked very old, kind of gaunt. Not older than his years - which look I’m familiar with since I’m that age and live in a senior community - but older than widely used photos have been showing.

[bigbrother05]

29. Can bet that many news sites will use less flattering photos

Joe isn't ego driven so he won't worry much, but expect Mangolini to try to hand a health scare on him as he did to HRC.

[CatMor]

27. I think he looks real good ...

great posture, strong voice, clear eyes and sharp mind. He looks much younger than his age, just a little less hair.

[Mike Nelson]

30. I noticed...

… he looked old. Bernie Sanders, also. He looked just as old, if not older... But they spoke very well... I watched both on the news, just now... I also notice that whenever I see Elizabeth Warren (also spoke) and Hillary Clinton (not running, but seems as bright as ever) speaking, they seem very articulate and intelligent. I haven't seen anything too concerning re: age... the older candidates' age is not a concern. I think Trump may have some age-related issues... he seems scattered, a lot, even for someone with bad ideas.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

31. I think he looks old. He is old.

[Tipperary]

32. How does rump look to you?

[msongs]

33. "I swear this is not concern trolling..." mt

[George II]

34. He's certainly not the oldest looking candidate in the bunch.

[delisen]

35. Lots of old people around --who are you using for comparison? Jane Fonda?

[UniteFightBack]

36. To me it looks like he got work done. LOL but that is what I think...eye work. nt

[nolabear]

37. I thought he looked great. I'm in my early 60s

and so see many people from their 50s to their 80s often. He’s very healthy in his look, his movements, his wit and manner. He’s a fairly old but not OLD old guy. For the 70s he kicks ass.

[Ruby the Liberal]

38. Welcome to DU

and thank you for sharing your concerns.

[marlakay]

39. I am almost 63

I will vote for Joe or any of the older candidates but I am ready for fresh more youthful president.

I love Joe but there are so many things we can do with hemp and pot products and he is still staunchly against it.

[peggysue2]

40. Joey Biden looks old because he's in his 7th decade

For his age, Biden is in pretty good shape. But yeah, he looks better than a lot of men his age but he's no spring chicken.

Personally? I think he's aged a bit since his son's death. That was a terrible, terrible blow. If one of my kids had died, I'm not sure I'd be standing upright.

So, good one on him!

[LakeArenal]

41. Looked great last fall. Very presidential. Very good speaker.

Talking to college kids. They loved him as well.
