2. I have no doubt Biden

And his team were prepared for national and world events. Just look at what we have now. That being said, this needs to be a lesson to our party, we have got to stop this thing with running 75-90 year olds for office.


This is the type of attack it opens us to, and we can all see how the public reacted this last time. The full retirement age in the USA is 67 and these are demanding jobs. Of course some are totally capable of doing the job, just as so many are who are unfairly overlooked for running for higher office.
