TFG is old, FAT, unhealthy, unfit, semiconscious, inarticulate, vengeful and violent.
Biden is old, healthy, fit, mostly conscious despite his lisp, often articulate, clever as a fox, incredibly experienced in foreign policy and more democratic than not.
But that is NOT the MEDIA or PR view being propounded here. We should watch more EU TV news as they seem much more clear-eyed and just as worried about us.
I had half thought Biden would be a four year place holder but his ego got the better of him and I think he doesn't realize how scary his age is, not because he is incompetent but because his age is being used as a hammer to vote him out.

Exactly this.
He is seemingly protected from himself by his staff. I wonder if he ACTUALLY believes that he is the best for this frightening moment. Part of me thinks he is simply doing everyone a favor by pretending to run. A favor, by avoiding the meltdown that is supposedly going to happen in the Democratic Party if they have to go At it amongst themselves.
If he is i hope he gives up his running sooner than later.
But part of me Also sees this as Biden as a man insulated from Reality, from his mistakes and from the perception of just how badly he looks at times. He's not being done any favors by his staff for protecting him: they are doing exactly what was claimed happened in Trump's years: that no one wanted to and ever did give him any news he didn't want to hear.
With Biden, I think it's only been a partial replay of that, but entirely around his own performance and weaknesses
Because how can i reconcile the Biden who believed that America was at Risk and needed to be defended at all costs, and Biden who is blinded to his own issues (maybe) and too deep a victim of his handling to see how much of a risk the public see him as.
Unfortunately, your reply is buried under sub-threads. The original comment, "Biden is three years older than Trump chronologically, but probably at least a decade younger than Trump physically and cognitively." Is pure, and sad, fantasy. No one complains or even raises Trump's age, and he is projected with vigor in his golf swings. True or not, those are the perceptions, and voters go on perception. Age, the cost of gasoline and bread, the neer-do-well son, the drumbeat of insults -- and third, fourth and fifth party candidates. The handwriting is on the wall. Oh, for the days of negotiated candidates.
3.5 years younger but close enough to be just as negligible. Unfortunately Trump voters have a double standard for everything.
