    No argument. It’s not a whataboutism question. Trump is also old, obviously. But he is set to win and the Dems who put a candidate in place is going to lose. I’m not trying to make Trump’s position better. The GOP want to put an old insane candidate in place that’s on them. Why would the Dems do the same thing - and lose because of it is the mystery.

      It is an argument, because they are both prob going to have died of old age by the end of next term, but people is only talking of biden, while trump also is rambling and has a diaper.

        Disagree as irrelevant whether either party dies in a couple of years.

        The story is whether Biden can get elected? Maga will vote Maga. Dem will vote Dem. The real battle is in the margins - the undecided and the unsure if it is even worth turning out. Complaining about Trump is like complaining about diarrhoea. Either you do something about it or just accept the shitty duds.

        Biden has to either really convince the electorate that he has it together in a aggressive way. He has to demonstrate strongly that he can take the criminal blowhard down, or step aside and let someone who can step up do the job.

        The stakes are incredibly important. Yet, people are still focused on Trump’s lying. A skill he mastered that is unchanged and unchanging for more than 60 years.
