We're Not Being Cruel, President Biden. Just Careful.

5. You are looking at the wrong math

Trying to discern whether Joe disserves the job from his support is not the issue.

Trying to discern whether he can do the job at an advanced age is the question.

So here is the math for that problem: 80 +2 +4 = 86

If you are asking me whether I am buying into an 80 year old Joe, then I am.

If you are asking me to feel good about another 6 years, then I am very hesitant.

My dad is 86 and he has suffered a noticeable decline since 80. Not everyone does but it is too high of a percentage to ignore.

In the end, it doesn't matter what you or I think. We need about 80 million other voters to agree.

You can call it ageism if you want to. But it happens to all of us. There is a time when we start losing the abilities we once had. The main difference here is we have to be practical enough to project out to the end of the job being offered.
