Age limits don't solve the problem. 'Respect your elders' comes to mind?Most Americans favor maximum age limits for federal elected officials, Supreme Court justices
79% of Americans favor maximum age limits for elected officials in Washington, D.C. And 74% support such limits for Supreme Court justices.www.pewresearch.org
If their guy were leading in the polls they wouldn't be doing it.
What the msm SHOULD be asking, but they aren't, is who the hell has been actually running things? As it is clearly not him.
An overwhelming majority of Americans think President Joe Biden is too old to serve another term, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.
According to the poll, conducted using Ipsos' Knowledge Panel, 86% of Americans think Biden, 81, is too old to serve another term as president. That figure includes 59% of Americans who think both he and former President Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner, are too old and 27% who think only Biden is too old.
Sixty-two percent of Americans think Trump, who is 77, is too old to serve as president. There is a large difference in how partisans view their respective nominees -- 73% of Democrats think Biden is too old to serve but only 35% of Republicans think Trump is too old to serve. Ninety-one percent of independents think Biden is too old to serve, and 71% say the same about Trump.

“THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET,” Trump trumpeted recently on his social media site as the stock market reached unprecedented heights.
The wealth of Black and Hispanic families grew 61 and 47 percent, respectively, between 2019 and 2022, and 31 percent among white families.
Opinion: Age is one thing, when it comes to leadership — sanity is another
A special counsel’s comment about Joe Biden’s age has triggered an energetic debate about the president’s mental acuity compared to that of GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump. Veteran columnist Walter Shapiro (who doesn’t reveal his own age) says Biden’s decision to run for reelection “may prove to be the most self-indulgent act by a Democrat president in modern history.”
So far in this campaign year, Biden’s age is getting much more attention than his record as one of America’s most effective presidents — so effective that Trump often tries to take credit for Biden’s accomplishments. “THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET,” Trump trumpeted recently on his social media site as the stock market reached unprecedented heights.
Biden has presided over recovery from the pandemic (all the jobs lost from COVID were regained by 2022) with an economy stronger than any other country’s. America’s infrastructure is finally being repaired, and the nation is making unprecedented investments in clean energy and resilience to climate change. The wealth of Black and Hispanic families grew 61 and 47 percent, respectively, between 2019 and 2022, and 31 percent among white families.
The worst thing we can say about Biden’s performance is that he doesn’t brag about it enough.

It's happened.Heck, thinking about this it's clear to me that if Democrats can elect a candidate using dead people, then why can't we vote for a dead candidate?
Sure...now that P-Doe Joe is being led out. He's done no matter what happens, lets CHANGE THE RULES. A very-sharp late-70s former President can then be ruled out...or the (false) question raised.Is It Time To Consider Age Limits For Politicians?
Either can pave the way for that Puerto Rican wonder, the one who went to college to become a barmaid.
Bartending requires brains, or at least a heavy dose of street smarts. As well as a good memory - not only for complicated drinks, but for faces and past conversations. Customers aren't there for the drinks - they can get them at home. They're there for the congenial company and atmosphere.
Brains are not required. Some resourcefulness is helpful
The nations security apparatus, or what some call the "deep state". They've been calling the shots since the '60's.X is filled with recent video of Biden walking around completely lost during press meetings with dignitaries and such. It's clear that he struggles to remain lucid frequently these days. So who is actually making decisions these days while he is checked out?
They've been very obvious for years now, at least to anyone paying even half-hearted attention to the matter and not suffering from a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.Biden looked terrible in tonight's debate. His cognitive issues were very obvious.
@searcher , what did you think of the debate? Do you honestly think Joe is truly fit for the position? Is he what America needs right now? Or ever?
Not that our dingbat VP would be much better.
I knew it would be a waste of time and a stress creator.I loved the end where Jill tells him he did great. He answered all the questions.
I didn't bother watching and only caught a few clips on the inter webs.
I really think our founding fathers got it right when they only allowed property owners to vote. There is no way this guy should have ever been elected and probably wasn't.
Why hasn't the 25th been invoked yet? Not that our dingbat VP would be much better.

You can have mine. She is a complete turn off, to me.Free BJ's for all!!!

She wouldn't even make a good two bit whore for guys who are deaf dumb and blind.
