[quote=Anonymous]Biden beats anyone over the age of 70 including Trump.

But his age is a real concern for a lot of people.  I'm a big Biden supporter and think he's done a decent job with the terrible situation dropped on him by Trump's administration, but it's hard to truly vote for someone who will turn 82 just after the election and would end his term at the age of 86.  Looking at Diane Feinstein, Chuck Grassley, Mitch McConnell and other octagenarian politicians, if they start a term over 80, the end of the term is not pretty.  I know McConnell is only 80 now, but he's had various health problems including today when he went into a waking coma that are pretty scary and I really don't see a Commander-in-Chief doing any better.  The stresses of the office greatly age the POTUS and if you start out old, then the stresses are even more drastic.

If the other candidate can dispel the age issue (by being older, themselves) then Biden's record as a strong incumbent will carry the day.  But the American public is very concerned about both Biden and Trump due to their advanced ages.  Since Trump doesn't have the age benefit (3.5 years is inconsequential to this argument), he will lose again.[/quote]
