Painting Donald Trump as a geezer just like Joe Biden, a front-page headline on today's New York Times reads, "Views Are Split On Candidates Of Similar Age." All I can say about that is, "Oh please." For starters, Trump is 77 and Biden is 81, a difference of four years. But their energy, body language and behavior makes them seem at least a decade apart. Where Biden appears skinny, old and frail, Trump looks burly, tan and ready to rumble.
Trump runs round the country, holding rallies where he talks non-stop for hours. He meets and greets his fans as often as possible, between court dates of course. He is often seen on TV talk shows and giving interviews to the press. In fact, he is nothing if not in your face. He plays golf regularly and appears fit, albeit a bit too robust.
Meanwhile, Biden hides out at one of his three homes. He does not give interviews. He does not meet and greet the public. On those rare occasions when he finds himself in front of a microphone on a podium somewhere, usually inside the White House, he fumbles and mumbles and makes a general mess of the situation.
Several reputable physicians have recently stated that Biden has some sort of senility or dementia, possibly early Alzheimer's, and has worsened considerably since he took office. They agree that there is no possibility of his condition being cured, or even slowing down. A recent report described him as "an elderly man with a failing memory." Who knows how long he will last.
Face it: A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris, and God knows my cat Lurch could do a better job.
