Americans asked to describe the Democrat in the White House and the Republican best positioned to face him in next year’s election say President Joe Biden is “old” and “confused” and say former President Donald Trump is “corrupt” and “dishonest.”
Biden’s age isn’t just a number. The guy really acts very, very old.
Even when he gave the speech in response to the court striking down student loans, when he was all fired up, and announcing some pretty powerful policies… even then he just seemed so sleepy and low energy.
Trump, for all his many, many, many, many disqualifying flaws, still seems feisty and energetic in comparison.
That said, Bernie Sanders is even older, but I’d vote for him even if he were on his deathbed. Bernie Sanders’ corpse would do a better job representing the people than would any Republican, and 90 percent of Democrats.
I’m not saying it’s not a bad thing, but it crowds out some other bad thing that people would feel about him instead.
Sure Trump seems more energetic, he would win in a how-old-do-they-seem competition, but in a who-should-be-president competition I’d rather have someone slow in his competence vs energetic in his corruption.
Probably the next-worst thing wouldn’t be that Biden’s corrupt but conceivably it could be worse than just being old.
Not even a little bit.

You want to talk old and electable… Jerry Brown. He’s 85, so 5 years older than Biden.
And he kicked Whitmans ass in 2010:
