    They’re both too old to run and a comedy reel of gaffes could easily be produced for both.

    Any attack on Biden’s age that doesn’t include an attack on Trumps age is ridiculous.

    As far as the polls, It’s up to Biden’s campaign, court cases, and the ability of the mainstream to get people to the voting booths. Swapping out candidates now is suicide.

      I agree. They’re both too old. But the polls show the biggest reason voters don’t want to vote for Biden is his age.

      It’s kind of suicide either way at this point. Relying on informed voters is not a winning strategy.
