| If you are going to make a comparison about the physical and mental capacities of the two likely candidates then Biden comes clear out ahead. Every gaffe Biden makes is spread widely on the internet but on a near daily basis he talks without notes on a wide range of subjects showing a grasp of detail. He does misspeak occasionally and maybe that is evidence of some impairment but it is at a very early stage. Trump on the other hand can barely string a sentence together if he is not repeating talking points and is regularly incoherent. This may not be a sign of advancing age because he never was able to express himself in an intelligent manner due to not being intelligent. Physically, although Biden as a few extra years on Trump he has led a more active lifestyle and had a much better diet than Trump's burger and coke staple. He is much more physically active and the slightly doddery gait he has is due to an injury to his knees when he was much younger. He is believed to be generally in good physical condition for a man of his age. Trump on the other hand is widely believed to be doubly incontinent and there certainly does appear to be good evidence he wears nappies. It is not ideal to have a candidate in his eighties but no one else is coming forward to claim the Democratic nomination. I suspect Biden would quite happily step aside for a younger candidate who could win but there isn't one. I wouldn't bet against Trump winning but I would bet against him outliving Biden. |
