I know, I know, it is a morbid question. Presidential candidates Trump and Biden are the oldest modern presidential candidates we’ve seen since Ronald Reagan ran for his second term. Donald Trump will be 78 on Inauguration Day 2025 and Joe Biden will have just turned 82. And even though my colleague Bill Galston and I have written about the fact that both men are most likely what the scientists call “superagers” and not at all likely to die or become incapacitated any time soon – the question is being asked by lots of people.

In terms of incapacitation, your answer can be seen at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Why shouldn’t dead electors be allowed to vote for and elect a dead candidate?
“both men are most likely what the scientists call “superagers”?
Biden compared to Trump?
Biden a superager?
I missed it because you didn’t type that...
You're right. I thought I was responding to a different thread. Sorry for the error.
Reagan was OK from what I could see. Biden is NOT OK right now. Old or incapacitated are not necessarily the same use of the term. Biden has appeared incapacitated for some time now unless he’s just been joking. If he was, it hasn’t been funny.
We’re no longer a republic.
Until our republic is restored, Deep State can do whatever the heck it wants.
What if the jumper cables were open-circuited?
The POTATUS was installed because he was suffering from dementia.
If you’re the despots who installed him, do you want a fully functional guy who could turn on you in a heartbeat as leader of the free world?
Deep State’s frontmen are stupid.
The people hiding behind them most certainly are not.
Yes, but indeed the risk of elderly is that everything can turn on a dime.
No question Biden is suffering dementia.
But he’s older going into office than Reagan was going out. Same with Trump this time. Reagan is not really the standard here since he was younger.
There is a procedure, but since the steal of 2020, all the rules have been thrown out the window.
