Yes, a younger, highly competent Dem candidate like Gavin Newsome or Gov. Whitmer would be more comforting. And, Pres. Biden may be more memory-challenged than people in their 50s and 60s, but there is no evidence that his memory is creating any issues with doing his job. In fact, if you watch the highlights of his last State of the Union address, he appeared to be pretty sharp, and not just for an old guy. He contemporaneously negotiated the other side of the isle into a corner on the government funding bill. Feeble? Okay, everyone gets increasingly feeble after 50 or so, but we're not electing him to lead a brigade of paratroopers, captain an aircraft carrier, or compete in American Ninja, and his cabinet and executive staff do the heavy lifting anyway. We need to give some respect to the experience and wisdom he has as an elder statesman and quit knocking him as too old for making gaffes that he was known for 15 years ago.

Brian, tongue in cheek or is Mqt too out of the way for voters to actually “see” what has happened in DC? Sounds like one CNN vet has lost the lust for research. Can’t stand prosperity? Checked the sales price of your house lately?
