Is Joe Biden Too Old?


   Yes and no.  Yes, he is too old to run our country (as is Donald Trump).  No, one can be too old for life, for that defines its end point.  Joe Biden is no longer fit to  be the president of our country.  Donald Trump never was.  This is not a political blog post.  It is an attempt to look at job qualification without bias.  At the age of eighty-three, I feel qualified to state an opinion on this issue.  The federal court system sees me as too old to be a desirable jury member.  I was at the age of seventy relieved of this burden.  A wise decision from our federal court system and there are far too few of these in recent history (ref: Citizens United, Roe vs. Wade, Gun Regulation and Presidential Immunity). 

   Back to the point.  As you well know, with age any muscle will tire and weaken.  I am six foot eight and can no longer slam dunk a basketball.  It also takes me much longer to write a blog post.  In verbal debate, where I once shined, I am very mediocre.  With age comes gradual death.  It is the simple mechanics of wearing out.  Probably a good thing.  It happens.  Joe Biden would have been a better president at the age of fifty than he is capable of being at the age of eighty.  When he does his energetic trot as he enters a stage, he is unable to recognize the elderly shuffle that he is displaying.  Brains are muscles too.

   Half of the citizens of the US (The Democrats) need to offer the nation a younger and more agile (physically & mentally) candidate for the position of President.  No candidate should be legally allowed to run for office when past the required age of retirement.  Normally in our country this age is sixty-five. 

   It is only a matter of time before the aging Alpha Wolf loses his last battle and this normally doesn’t go well for the future of his pack.   If the DNC prevails, Joe Biden with run against Donald Trump.  The only hope is that an aging good man can prevail over an aging bum.  But, beware of the electorate.
