I still think this will go down like Reagan vs Mondale in the 1984 election. And as we all know, Reagan was re-elected. Mondale had no chance of stopping the Reagan juggernaut. Creepy Uncle Joe is basically being offered up as a sacrificial lamb, just like Mondale.
As for why mostly elderly men get elected: not sure. The minimum age is 35.

Theodore Roosevelt took office at the age of 42 years, 10 months old.
John F. Kennedy took the presidential oath of office at 43 years, 7 months, and 22 days old.
Bill Clinton at 46 years and 5 months
Ulysses S. Grant at 46 years and 10 months
Obama at 47 years and 5 months.
HISTORY. It gives perspective to those who learn it and remains a mystery and a handicap to those who don't.

I'm old enough to remember JFK in office... so yes, I'm aware that younger men have run for POTUS in the past... which makes this year's choices all the more astonishing. Two old geezers in their 70's... for the most important job in the US, if not in the entire world! It's simply mind-boggling!
Despite your "boggled mind", chronological age ISN'T the point with respect to Dementia Joe.
It's a simple matter of mental competency.
Even to the casual, lay, observer Ol' China Joe is demonstrating more and more obvious signs or either senile dementia or Alzheimer's disease at an increasing rate.
His wife and his campaign handlers had previously restricted his in-person campaign speaking time to 7 MINUTES or less.
That time restriction has gone DOWN markedly since he has stayed confined at home.
There is a considerable, and increasing, percentage of the human population whose mental acuity remains sharp well into their 80s and even 90s.
Joe Biden isn't part of that population.

You mean Hide In Biden, cowering in his basement ? Claiming he is setting an example following CDC guidelines. Gee, for a guy that claimed he wanted Trump behind the bleachers, who does he think he is fooling.
Fact is that many who run are younger, including this year. 2016 was a great example.
I thought it would've been obvious that I was being facetious, but maybe not. I was basically just expressing my bewilderment that in a country with so many bright young people, that it would be two old codgers, both well beyond their "Best Before" date, battling it out for the top job this term.

And Walter Mondale had a female running mate on the ticket as well.
So Biden, trying to have a blaccant voice and saying that blacks who support Trump are no longer black? Wow! That's crazy racist.
It is pretty typical for no one of consequence to run against an American incumbent President, unless said president is a complete screw up like Daddy Bush.
I don't care what polls say! Polls are typically run by media, to achieve what the Media desires. In 2016, the media polled for Hillary and lost! In 2020 the media is polling for anyone but Trump, and I think they will lose again!
If Biden was worth a fart, he would have been running in 2016 instead of Hillary! Obama didn't even want to endorse him, but was compelled to.
This entire election for the Democrat party has been about People of Color, Socialism, Bigger Government, Open Borders, etc, yet who is going to be on the ticket? An old white guy, and a young white woman ! Hypocritical beyond belief ! They would do better with a Tulsi Gabbard/Stacy Abrams ticket!
Trump however has without question: Kept more campaign promises in history, and the ones he couldn't keep have been prevented by Congress. His supporters know this! He has drained much of the swamp, and vowed to bring the economy back while Democrats support more lockdown.
Trump has Nixon's "silent majority", the people who are privately going to vote for him no matter what, but they just wont discuss it in public!

Good point. Incumbent Presidents tend to get re-elected, unless they're on bad footing. But the opposing party has to make a token effort, so their constituents don't lose faith.

Joe Biden is 77 years of age. Donald Trump will be 74 in less than a month. Is it only senior citizens who run for office down there?

I'm glad you recognize that we are more important than the rest of the world.
Was that supposed to be a jab at me... or are you swelling with pride?
I have no idea of the actual intent. But thank you for noting that the United States plays is an extremely important role. It’s a heavy burden we carry but we do it with pride.

Rams, I'm not referring to you... but it's amazing how when a simple sensible acknowledgement is made, there's often some insecure individual who feels they need to try and rub it in your face.
Barring the unexpected, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (Joe Biden) will soon be a resident of this well known FULL TIME CARE FACILITY near Black Lives Matter Plaza NW, Washington DC. Mr Biden, a native of Scranton, PA, currently resides in Wilmington, DE.
Mr Biden will have 24/7 personal protection, onsite medical care and many other personal comforts and accommodations from a permanent staff comprised by some of the most highly vetted and capable FULL TIME CARE FACILITY administrators and attendants in the nation.
Mr Biden will be able to travel freely, nationally and internationally, protected and supported at all times by travel details that will be organized and drawn in part from the FULL TIME CARE FACILITY staff.
Who can imagine where Mr Biden may travel during his retirement years? Will he attend a game of the Washington Football Team at nearby FedEx Field or the Washington Nationals baseball team at Nationals Park? Any of the Smithsonian Institute's Museums or the National Zoo? The Lincoln Memorial? Those are only some of the local possibilities.
Mr Biden is expected to become a resident of the FULL TIME CARE FACILITY on Wednesday, January 20, 2021.
It's rumored that many across the nation and also the world are looking forwards to following some expected news coverage from the coming days of his retirement.
Like so many others, the organizers of Mr Biden's daily routine and travel itinerary will have to factor the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic into every aspect of his retirement days, at least for the foreseeable future.

Absolutely NONE of that nonsense of yours will stop the manifestly obvious and increasingly rapid mental decline of China Joe.
His inevitable incapacitation from his cognitive disability will not be able to be hidden from the public, ala Woodrow Wilson's near vegetative state after his stroke.
But then Dementia Joe was / is simply the insentient, empty vessel, used to get Leftist / Marxists into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Thankfully, owing to his age and mental decline, he will be a one term president IF he makes it that far.

Let me ask you, how would you rate your brain at this time in your life? More specifically, internally, do you even own a mirror?
You present yourself in a way that is actually dismissive of your unique accomplishments during your time spent here on Planet Earth. Listen, I (of all people) get that.
I think he is an honorable man with admirable character. I just don't think he's very bright. Age, Education, whatever.
Listen, i think of him as a quickie after just getting out of a totally exhausting relationship. "Grab em' by the pussy!"
Signed, Unfulfilled.
Ahhh, I see you also have a short memory.
"I do remember her telling me that Joe Biden had put her up against a wall and had put his hands up her skirt and had put his fingers inside her," LaCasse said. Reade, as detailed in a previous NPR report, has accused Biden of pinning her against a wall in the hallway of a Capitol Hill building and penetrating her vagina with his fingers in the spring of 1993."

Trump "shop talked it" biden actually did it and hunter makes sport of it......even as far as his own dead brothers wife. Sounds "honorable" enough to vote for........
