Biden is stronger on the age question than Trump

[Shermann]

Hear me out. Harris sort of dodged the age question during the debate. So Biden is 77 and Trump is 74. Also Trump has one term behind him. So Trump is the winner here, right?

Wrong.

Biden is the winner because a Biden administration will be less dependent on one person, as our founding fathers intended. Harris has been groomed to be able to step into that role on a moment's notice.

Trump's administration, by comparison, is built around a cult of personality. He is smarter than all the generals, he is micromanaging the White House Coronavirus Task Force, and he has the entire Republican party kowtowing to his every whim in a culture of zero dissent. This administration would be turned upside down and inside out by the loss of its leader.

1. I can't believe Pence is only 6 years older than Harris.

He looks and acts 30 years older than her - and not in any of the good ways.

2. In addition ...

... if Joe at any point felt that he was unable to fulfill his duties as POTUS, he wouldn't hesitate to step down. His priority is the welfare of the nation, not the welfare of his own ego.

3. Good point

Unpredictability or contrarianism may be desirable qualities in a general at war, especially when long chances are called for. But not in a a sitting president managing a domestic crisis being handed clear guidance from experts.
