26. If nominated Biden will run against Trump.

Sun Jun 9, 2019, 01:07 AM

Jun 2019

Trump appears to be declining quickly. The comparison of Biden on stage with Trump should favor Biden. I would be more concerned about who Biden picks as a VP than how old he will be versus Trump.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Considering age is not necessarily ageism. I don't question Biden's ability to execute his duties tymorial Jun 2019 #8

No Axelrod is not.You are again making this all about Biden. Still nothing about your guy Booker? Hekate Jun 2019 #23

It is an excellent observation. In fact in this OP about "age", he only singles out Biden, but still_one Jun 2019 #31

It always seems... Hekate Jun 2019 #41

I agree, and mentioned that directly to the OP in a separate post. I also think it is ageist. still_one Jun 2019 #43

Well, I was concerned about Biden's age & long record *before* he entered the race... Hekate Jun 2019 #44

I understand your point, and you are using age as the focal point, but regardless of age, what you still_one Jun 2019 #46

I think a lot of Biden's gaffes are not gaffes. Sharing with Obama that passage of the ACA is a BFD Hekate Jun 2019 #45

I don't think the mere fact that age is a FACTOR is being an Ageist Skittles Jun 2019 #28

Not taking the bait. You don't do a thing to rep your guy. Booker? Tell us why you support him. emmaverybo Jun 2019 #29

Another negative post about Biden by the OP. The OP only singles out Biden with the "age" problem still_one Jun 2019 #30
