Why does everyone seem to think Biden is the one who will die first.
because we recently saw them in televised debate and one of them looked in significantly worse shape than the other.
Comment on What happens if Biden dies before the next inauguration (see inside)?

I’m just going to point out that trump is only 3 years younger, and has far more risk factors for heart attack and strokes.

I did not take him as in worst shape. I saw a person who couldn’t believe the bullshit being said by a narcissistic moron. I would have the same look at my face in disbelief if I had to debate with someone that I thought still asked for crayons at a restaurant.

that’s really not an argument in biden’s favor.
he has known trump for at least 9 years and he has been lying narcissistic moron that whole time. if he didn’t expect the most expectable thing in the world from him, and being surprised threw him off the rails in such manner that he wasn’t able to put together coherent sentence, how is he qualified for a job where there are actual surprises of enormous consequences on a daily basis?
Just goes to show how little people know about how people die.
yeah, nobody knows. but (un)fortunately “he isn’t able to put together coherent sentence, but maybe he isn’t going to die tomorrow” is not qualification for presidential office.
My grandmother lived with dementia for 20 years before dying at 101.
good for her. i assume she didn’t run for a president.
TBH because of his physical presentation at the debate. Yeah, it’s short-sighted, but welcome to the public thought process. Whatever is churned thru the latest 15 minute media cycle seems to be what they believe.
Doesn’t matter if he had a cold and was dosed up on NyQuil or whatever; his voice was weak, he stumbled over making coherent sentence multiple times, and he just had a blank, open-mouthed stare when between questions. I’ve had shitty colds and been drugged up with cold meds and I know that feel of being sore, exhausted, hoarse, and disconnected. You just want to go have a lie-down, not a public debate against a raging, insulting, narcissistic asshole. But it takes someone willing to understand all that and give Biden the benefit of the doubt.
There are far too many that start from the “old” part and just attribute everything possible to that which they find disagreeable.

And apparently that matters more than the blatant lies and non-answers coming from the other side. Gotta say, Americans do seem significant dumber than the average world citizen.

Presumably what an American once said about Germans. It can happen anywhere
And is actively happening. Sadly, most people will choose comfortable lies over hard truths.

yes, for estimates whether someone dies from old age, that matters significantly more than someone lying.
Trump is 3 years younger. Biden may outlive him by 10 years for all we know.
Did he have a cold, and cold medicine? I’ve not heard those things.

I can’t unpaywall the article. The assumption he’d take some kind of meds is my own.
Groups have been trying to push this message since the debate. It’s not terribly effective for anyone who actually watched.
A cold and cold medicine don’t account for the very clear confusion and sundowning the rest of us witnessed.
Because Trump now thinks he has full immunity to assassinate his political rivals
Let’s not hope both take a stroll on 5th avenue at the same time.
Full immunity to disease too he supposes, while injecting desinfectant and thinking about his triumph
Let’s look at oldest mainline Presidential nominees in history:
Next President who was elected was William Henry Harrison, but we’re getting “young” enough there may be unelected nominees I’m not aware of.
Also: fun fact. Jimmy Carter’s post-presidency lifespan has been over 43 years so far, while Teddy Roosevelt was only 42 when elected Predident.
so far
Thank you for being generous.
I really want him to make it to October 1st and become the first one to break 100.
There are so many more eyecatching things wrong with Trump, so his age never gets brought up. Biden mostly just has his age and the Israel situation, so those are the two things you hear about the most.
There’s 100 year olds that are more competent than Biden.

Because if Trump dies then we have a lot less to worry about

We have less immediate issues on that front, but we still got some work to do

Only because I think Biden can take Ms Haley in an election. (You forgot she won a single primary, right?)
