53. If anyone thinks age is NOT a factor, they're not paying attention
Fri May 26, 2023, 07:42 AM
May 2023

It was a factor in 2020 as well, and Biden won with a 7-million vote majority.

Hillary is not wrong. A lot of people stop driving at age 80. 80 is elderly. To ignore that is just plain stupid. Ignoring something doesn't make it go away. Rather, focus on how GOOD HE IS AT THIS JOB DESPITE HIS AGE.
