Age affects all people differently. I was playing doubles tennis the other day against an 88 year old lady and her partner and I lost dramatically to them. She happened to be the world champion in her age group, which I discovered after the match, and though she didn't slam the ball with enormous speed, she placed it with the precision garnered by years of practice and skill. She, like President Biden, have adjusted their talents to fit their age and therefore they win the day. President Biden is a better person on his worst day than trump is on his best.
Greg, if Biden should win again, and I hope he does, his experience will be important in selecting his cabinet and key personnel. Also important, he is a statesman and knows how to work with other world leaders, rather than a bully who pushes way to the front for more visibility.
Ronald Reagan was clearly addled during his final years in office and we did okay despite that. His aides and cabinet were running the show and everyone knew it. Yet still, democracy survived. But under another Trump presidency… I fear for us as a nation. If Biden eventually becomes less sharp in the coming years (*if*), I trust those around him more than the people around Trump. Especially those Trumpers who are quoted as saying it’s time for democracy to die.

Well said and very true. Thanks Greg
