I figured I'd look it up since I keep hearing 2 years age difference and keep repeating it myself, but Trump is about 3.5 years younger than Biden.

True, but guess what "they" were saying about Biden 3.5 years ago?

It rhymes with "he's too schmold".

14 months out from the 2020 election how many people had Joe as their top choice? Not me, I wrote to the guy urging him not to run 'for the good of the country.' Also, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott on R's ticket and it's 'not even close,' a 'sure thing?'

He was my choice after Pete. He has more experience than the rest of the contenders did collectively. I just loved Pete the best. When he asked us to throw our weight behind Joe, we did.

And contrary (apparently) to everybody at TB, I knew exactly how old Joe was when I voted for him and how old heтАЩd be now and I also know how old heтАЩll be at the end of his second term. Constantly reminding me as though IтАЩm impaired isnтАЩt going to make me less likely to vote for him.

They're certainly not going to stop saying it one year from now.

I stand corrected. Not to say I think it makes an appreciable difference, though.

Plus Biden actually reads his briefing books and always has. He was famous for using his Amtrak commute between Wilmington and DC to do all of his policy reading. Biden is effective because he has the self-awareness to know he's not the smartest guy so he does his homework and makes up for it with being prepared.
