And Trump isn't a risk? There have been serious arguments that he seems to be suffering from dementia already. I'm not carrying water for Biden, and would prefer a much younger candidate myself, as they typically run much stronger for Democrats, but if Biden is the Dem nominee, I don't think attacks on his age are going to hurt much, given that Trump is nearly that old himself, and doesn't seem to be with it a good deal of the time as it is. If the GOP had a younger candidate it would definitely hurt, but against Trump, not so much.
Nice whataboutism, but I wasn't talking about Trump. Of course Trump is a huge risk for a multitude of reasons, age being just one of them. However if you are thinking about the good of the country let's elect someone that doesn't have a 33% chance of losing his/her mind in office.
And, as I posted, I also would prefer for a much younger nominee to be chosen. Far from being whataboutism, I was responding to another poster's claims that Biden's age would be a factor if he ran in 2020. Given that Trump would be his likely GOP opponent, I thought that was a peculiar claim to make. If the GOP somehow ditched Trump and nominated someone much younger, then obviously Biden's age would be a serious problem for the Dems. That's assuming, of course, that Biden can even win the nomination, which no one can say at this point.
It'd be interesting to see if Michelle Obama could leverage the First Lady experience into a 2020 run.
I think Michelle is an amazing person, but that sounds like a terrible, terrible idea.

Just dropping by to say Bill Burr is trash.
