    To be fair Biden has had a stutter for all his life.

    That gets repeated a lot, but I think the people who think that’s a good enough excuse have not actually seen middle aged Biden speak.

    The Biden of that video has some incredible charisma, but he has nothing to do with the person today.

      Can you imagine a president like that, even Obama wasn’t close to that level of eloquence and charisma. Every president in my lifetime has been a joke, to mirror the circus in every tent in DC.

      It is obvious age has effected his ability to communicate. I suppose it’s just something to keep in mind, not an excuse. Like I said before, I wish we had younger candidates on both sides. I think most people didn’t want this rematch. The person in that video would have been great, but we only have what’s left of that now.
