What is with this obsession with Biden’s age, as if there’s a direct correlation to competence. This never comes up a topic of concern with Bernie Sanders, who is older by a year. Sure, I’d say Feinstein should have been retired 8 years or more before but instead she ridiculously hung on till death. And sure, age is a concern since the guy could die in office. But Biden isn’t showing any signs of incompetence any more than Sanders. And certainly in better mental shape than his Republican rival who can barely string together 3 coherent sentences.
I think the Biden vs Bernie is that Sanders just “appears” to have more energy and fight in him. Biden shuffles walking to podiums and has a lot of “what did he say?!” moments.
Since I haven’t received even an attempt at an answer to this question before, I’ll ask it again: what evidence does anyone have to show that Biden’s age has negatively effected his mental capacity? I’ll concede that his age is a reason to ask the question, but the question keeps being repeated in spite of any demonstration of mental lapses on his part. His verbal gaffes have been consistent throughout his political career, and I’ve seen no evidence that they’ve increased in his old age.
Has anyone attempted to dispute this? Is this why it keeps getting brought up? And how has his age affected his capabilities? Give me specifics, please.
He should, and anyone 65 or older, publicly take a cognitive assessment test. If he fails let the VP step in. These redundant old farts need to prove they’re able to function at a base level.
