...

id say wearing diapers (trump) or needing someone to remind you where you are (Biden) makes you too old.

If youre too old to reasonably run a company.....youre too old to run the country.

Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett is 92. Joe Biden will be 82 in Nov '24. In the 10 years since June 2013 when Buffett was 82, the market cap, i.e., total value, of Berkshire has increased from ~ $415 billion dollars to 1 trillion 116 billion dollars, or by 2.7 times.

I wonder if the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway agree with you that someone who is 82 is "too old to reasonably run a country"?

wealth begets wealth.


to answer youre question i would absolutely not vote for Warren Buffett to be president.

If youre insistent .....you found 1 person out of....how many over 80? does the exception prove the rule?

There are a lot (define "a lot" as you please - but more than 1) of competent people who are over 80, are of sound mind, and run successful businesses.
Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean I think/feel we should have an 80 year old President but there are examples of people over the age of 80 who are in better physical and mental shape running successful businesses than many people in their 70s and 60s.

Ì squarely lay the blame on the liberal democrats. if dt would have won in 20 we would be on our way out of this cycle. we would be looking at two fresh faces for 24. thanks demonrat muthaphucquers.

And yet, despite all your whining to the contrary, painfully absent any specificity about which of his policies you have a problem with, there seems to be a large number of people who think that no president since LBJ has accomplished as much legislatively as Biden did, in only his first two years.

There's more to the Presidency than policy. Setting the political agenda is more a result of what ends up being popular in the primaries - you campaign on something, and if it's popular enough, you win and that becomes the agenda. But that's moreso just a side effect of Democracy.

You're the top representative of the country. How you conduct yourself sets the tone for the country, to some extent. Your ability to think broadly, logically, and to trust others when necessary matters. I mean, that's why it's the Chief Executive.

Biden hasn't fallen flat in that area. And he's way better than Trump. But the gaffes - they aren't new, but they're getting worse. He comes across with emotional appeal over facts and regularly stretches the truth. And the speaking - it's not the stutter he:s always had that's the problem, it's the slurring and unintelligible speaking that sounds like someone who has had a stroke.

I think people like Obama and Reagan are the type that you can say even if you disagree with their policy, you're comfortable with them representing our country. I don't think that way of Biden. And again, I say this as someone who caucused for him in Iowa in 08.

you guys got me...youre right. Theres definitely no link between advanced age and cognitive decline.

Joe Biden is absolutely perfect in every way. I hope he's president until he's 137.

I have voted for my father in two elections. I am old enough now that I can vote for myself which I may do for the next election if the two candidates are the current front runners.
