Was gonna say even looking at him right now, he looks healthier in the face while announcing his appointees. I remember looking at Hillary struggling through the last bit of her campaign. Going through dizzy spells, needing a hand getting in her transportation. I would never question her cognitive functions, she's just old and tired. Same with Biden.
I'm still not convinced Biden is capable of doing two terms even if he could win another election. These old folks need to hang it up along with the country needs to be open to younger leadership. Reagan showed signs of dementia during his second term. Trump who was never fit for office to begin with, definitely declined worse his last couple years. We watched Obama and Dubya age right in front of our eyes while they were in office.
In politics, you can never tell which way the wind will blow in the future.
During the Presidential race of 2016, I had Hillary winning, serving one term, and Corey Booker VS Tom Cotton in 2020. I was 100% wrong.
New and young faces have entered their hats into races, but the public has just not responded to them enough to become serious candidates. Older politicians aren't going to step out of the way. The right young candidate is going to have to come along and get the votes/poll numbers to put him/her in serious contention. Then , and only then will the big donors get behind that candidate. At that point, he or she has a legit chance.
Booker, Buttigieg and Beto O'Rourke tried to break through.
Didn't work out for them like it did for Obama.
I also think that Biden reluctantly entered the race when signs pointed to none of the other candidates being able to beat Trump. Those signs were right. Trump would be preparing for his second term now had Biden not entered the race.
