For months voters have been telling pollsters that they have serious concerns about Biden's age and the response has been finger wagging and telling people to get in line.

Last night's disaster just proved their point. Heck, even I have concerns now. Of course I am never going to vote for an orange rapist, but this debate has done NOTHING to assuage the fears of age.

Proved what point? That Biden speaks slowly and softly? That doesn’t change the fact about what he’ll do which is pass fair taxes and fight climate change. Do you think voters are gonna care whether the president was a raging loud jerk or not when they have to pay an extra $2000 a year on consumer products?

I don't want the man I saw last night picking up the phone at 2am to learn that China is moving troops to Taiwan, or that Iran smuggled a nuke into Jerusalem, or that Putin has taken Kiev.

I don't want either of the men on stage last night to take that call, but I'm a lot less confident in Biden's ability to think on his feet in an emergency than I was two days ago.

I saw what happened to my Grandmother when she started sundowning, and it isn't pretty.
