It's funny that Trump of all people is questioning Biden's mental fitness. Hello Pot, it's Kettle calling!

Biden launched his campaign last Thursday with a video that aimed squarely at Mr. Trump and his response to the 2017 white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Va. In the days since, the president has revived his "Sleepy Joe" moniker for the former veep and has questioned whether the 76-year old Biden is physically and mentally capable of taking on the 72-year old president.

Who told you there were less than a hundred people there? That’s not true. And why should a candidate not mention a huge issue in this country?

DP: It was very suspicious that the cameras never showed anything other than the podium...

Matt avowed of the Post tweeted that the fire department’s count was 600.

His speech was mostly an endorsement of Trump's policies. And, a repudiation of the policies in place when HE was VP.

I also wonder if the WaPo will fact check him. He said several things that are outright false.

I was the OP of this - I know this hall well and have been to a few functions over the years - capacity is 200 people. My brother is a teamster and was in attendance and counted perhaps 120 people. Watch the C-Span video and before the speech they scanned the room - small at best.

I like Biden. I think he is old but so is Trump and Bernie and many other elected officials.

I would vote for him, and maybe after 4 years he can pass the baton on.

This is crazy.

WaPo openly lying when they say 600 -- or is PP quoting WaPo lying about what WaPo said?

+1.

I was trying to figure out what HE and Obama did in 8 years, and didn't hear anything

NP. I had an interesting conversation at Christmas with my 19 year old nephew. He is white, from an affluent area in the Midwest, attends a Big 10 university. He said that he and a lot of his friends love Biden and support his candidacy, particularly because of his association with Obama. I was really surprised.

That's why 19 years old aren't allowed to drink.

LOL. DP. It's called an opinion.

Opinions are like a**holes. It’s fine for you to hold that opinion but not to BS that “most” Democrats share it.

+1. People need to realize that their opinions aren’t universal. Biden is polling better than any Dem candidate so the PP’s opinion lacks data to support it.

But they can vote!

Obama nostalgia is a real thing.
