Is Joe Biden too old to be president? (CNN)
cnn ^ | 07/31/2019 | Chris Cillizza

Detroit (CNN)Joe Biden is 76 years old. If he wins the White House in 2020, he will be 78 years old when he takes office.
That would make him the oldest first-term president in American history -- eclipsing, by eight years(!), the record set by Donald Trump when he was elected in 2016 at age 70.
While Biden allies insist he is totally and completely healthy, his performance -- listless and, at times, just behind the beat -- at the first debate performance added to the whispers that maybe time had caught up with the former vice president.
As The New York Times wrote today: "As Mr. Biden prepares for the next debate this Wednesday night, which will include a rematch with Ms. Harris, he and his advisers are grappling with how to make sure he doesn't appear so shaky, cognizant that a repeat performance could do lasting damage to his campaign and erode his advantage in the polls. Several advisers emphasized that Mr. Biden is in excellent health, and said he will be more prepared to defend his record and more willing to draw contrasts with his opponents than he was at the June debate."

Biden's debate/speech preppers and makeup artists might preserve him long enough to win the Dem nomination. If he doesn't die or stroke out or gaffe out. But then the campaign against Trump should test whatever stamina he has even further. I wonder if keeping up with Trump will leave him exhausted at some point. Will they have to push him into the van?

Biden has one foot in the grave, you can see it in his eyes. He will be gone in just a few years, maybe less after losing a grooling election to Trump

They are preparing to push him off stage. He will get tough questions tonight, he will perform badly, his money will dry up and he will be gone. It’s an incremental process.

They want Warren, Harris and Bernie to be the big fish.

He would be nothing more than a puppet, they will pull the strings and he will dance.

Biden is trapped.

I have to believe deep down, he’s not on board with how far Left the party has gone, but what can he do? He’s boxed in.

You’re as young as you feel.

POTUS Trump is 39, just like Jack Benny.

He will NEVER win the nomination in the present-day demwit party.

He is too male.
He is too pale.
He is too stale.

Buh-bye.

The real question that needs to be asked is, are the other 22 too stupid and wacky to be president?

Looks like the scripts have been written to declare the ineligible Her Too Kamala Harris as victor tonight.

Freepers who support her candidacy will be pleased.

“They want Warren, Harris and Bernie to be the big fish.”

Our domestic enemies know how much support the ineligible “Her Too” Harris has HERE.
