    You can vote against one and have it mean something or against both and have it wasted. Don't like it but that is the reality

    Trump is too old. Biden was too old. Pelosi is older than both as are political power brokers like Mitch McConnell and Bernie Sanders, among others.

    Keeping political figures on office well past their expiration dates is a major major problem in this country. The fact Dianne Feinstein, who clearly lacked the mental acuity to serve, was allowed to remain in congress until she died at the age of 90 was a complete embarrassment.

    Of course the press is going to push the issue with Trump more than others but the fact is both sides need to stop voting for candidates who are too old to properly do their job.

    Look it up... "Google is your friend," too.

    It helps if you know the definition of prejecting.

    I have a copy of the Tea Party version of his book in my office. I couldn't recognize any of his tactics in what you quoted. Hence the question.

    To be fair, not being able to beat Donald Trump in a debate is a pretty good test of mental impairment.
    There are plenty of sharp 80 year olds. Pelosi and Sanders have no apparent issues and are smarter than most in politics. So i don’t think there needs to be an age limit. Feinstein is really the only legit one because she definitely was senile. She was at a point of debilitation she shouldn’t have been allowed to enter a binding contract, so how could she represent a vote for an entire state?

    McConnel likewise has health issues. But he’s not senile. I think the guy is a totally corrupt asshole, but even in his case I don’t think his particular issue disqualifies him from his position. If he were President, having “freezing” issues might be of some concern but I think even a President with such issues would finish their term at least (barring it becoming chronic or a daily occurrence).

    Unbelievable, even by today's standards. Has any one person lowered the bar more than Chump?

    Except he’s still the President lol. He’s been that way for years and the media and the left for the most part ignored it until they saw they were gonna lose the election. Now it looks like a better than 50/50 odds that trump will win. The dems have no one to blame but themselves.

    yes he is, and the point?

    agree the Dem party leadership kind of blew it. they should have had a full-blown primary with debateS. But is that done with a sitting potus in your own party? I thought Biden should have backed out at the start of primary season. But we see how stubbornly he was going to hang on.

    the overall point of a lot of this is; maga has been screaming from the rooftops Biden was too old and shouldn’t be considered. Now Trump will be the oldest elected and is showing definite signs. Where will he be in 3 years??? And repubs did have a primary with plenty of other candidates. Haley would be running away with it now. And not getting into their supposed pro choice that was barely mentioned at the rnc or by Trump. And there are just as many abortions in the us. Lots of hypocrisy in maga.

    Stated previously: When it became obvious that Biden was unfit, Democrats acted decisively and moved on. With Trump, they will follow him to the grave.

    Corrected version: When it became obvious that Biden was not going to win, Democrats acted decisively and moved on. With Trump, they will follow him to the grave.

    Sorry, this is what the dems get for not doing the right thing over a year ago. The R’s put forward a terrible candidate and currently are favored to win the presidency. That’s only on the dems. The right made their bed in 2016. The sooner trump is out of the public eye the better but now it looks like he will be around until 28 now.
