Repub here- wish him well as a human but do not like him as a politician. Wish he would step down. I support a maximum age for politicians as they often seem power hungry/out of touch with their electorate.

What is up with that?

This could turn out to be choice that backfires completely if he does not get the care he needs.

I just watched the video. Seizure, stroke, whatever’s going on with him, I truly hope that someone cares about him enough to get him to a hospital. Then I hope he immediately goes all in for universal healthcare, and promptly retires.

Medicare IS universal health care. For seniors.

We need to end this gerontocracy, it’s ridiculous. Too many of these old folks should be enjoying their retirement instead of having major health problems in the public eye.

I disagree. Not everyone of a given age has similar deficits or even strengths. I think Mitch should retire though, and I’ve thought that for a few years now, although my preference would be that he get voted out.

Sure, and some pilots can fly just fine at 70 and 80.

There is still decline in folks as they age. Political leaders have shown they crave power too much to step aside, so we absolutely need age limits for politicians.

And that damn well also includes presidents.

You know trump was born in the same year as Bill Clinton and George Bush?

So? Are you under the impression I’m a republican or Trump cultist?

No, I’m a lifelong democrat and sane human being. But I’m sick and tired of octogenarians in power.

Enough is enough.

Yes, I will vote for Joe over any republican, but I’m very disappointed he didn’t retire.

Biden is the ONLY Dem who can beat any Republican.

Ridiculous. No he absolutely is not.

I agree he’s not the only Dem who could win. *But* there is definitely huge risk of a wide open Dem primary and this isn’t the year of wanting more risk - the stakes are too high. Rallying around Biden is definitely the safest choice. I’m good with him re-running. He’s doing an incredible job.

We should have key politicians in their late 30s, 40s and 50s

Not 60s, 70s and 80s. It’s so sad

Yeah. It is sad that our political leaders are older than the ones in China.

Astonishing how he seems to have more energy than both of those two combined.

He is on drug.

Yes. Different diagnosis than Diane Feinstein, but there are elders on both sides of the aisles who are not doing well.

I loathe a lot of the man's actions, but he is not sympathetic to the Trump clan. So. Will it be a loss when he leaves? Not sure.

The brown circle around his mouth comes frim him kissing Trump's derriere 24/7/365 from Nov.. 2016 to present! He has beady eyes, forked tongue, his scaly slimy skin, give me the creeps. I hope he gets all that he so richly deserves, soon and in spades..

Karma is lookin' at you.

Why? Did PP denied millions of people their health care?

In all seriousness: it is hard to see any fellow human have that experience.

Or perhaps another horcrux was destroyed.

I don’t know exactly how the other 2 spend their days, but I know that Trump spends his days praising himself, golfing, complaining, schmoozing, losing legal battles, doing his hair and makeup, and occasionally bloviating onstage at rallies. It wouldn’t surprise me if Bill Clinton has given just as many public speeches, more interviews and logged significantly more miles of travel in the last year, while also spending more time with his grandchildren. I’m guessing Bush still golfs as well, paints, and also spends more time with his grandchildren. I’d also bet that Clinton and Bush have dedicated more time to philanthropy just in the last decade than Trump has in his entire life.

What's wrong with him is that he is a craven a-hole.

So you liked the Biden Rule until you didn't?

+1 It's all just politics as usual. No saints in the crowd.

Of course. I love how the GOP constantly runs corpses and then dares to say sh!t

I guess you have not seen him lately? Trump sounds and looks very old specially when he gives a speech.

The current GOP candidate for KY Gov is married to McConnell’s niece. He’s trying to hold on for dear life until his relative is elected.

The KY GOP house changed the law so a Dem Gov could not appoint a replacement, so no, that is not a factor.
