43. Your constant harping about how it is "sad" doesn't make it so.

But you seem very, very defensive about it when there are questions about Biden's age.
Are we supposed to be comforted by claiming he has been gaffe prone for decades and apparently is helpless to do anything about it?

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