I'd say it's not the objective number of his age that's necessarily the issue, it's how well his mind has caught up. It'll catch up to all of us, but all of us shouldn't be the most powerful person in the entire world. If someone's old but has managed to say "sharp as a tack" as old people say, that's one thing. Heck, I won't even begrudge someone being at risk of dying in office, so long as I'm confident in their VP pick.
All that said, I'm over going after Biden's flubs. The legal report wasn't done by a doctor, but by an investigator. It's also entirely possible that Biden simply knew exactly what to say to make the case that he didn't mean to take the documents. That's after all the main point of the report. They couldn't find any evidence that ruled out Biden's excuse. Fair enough. Biden didn't retain the documents, he returned them the moment they were requested, while Trump had to be raided by the FBI to get them back. Secondly, Biden is currently president, while Trump was not at the time they asked for them back. Heck, Trump keeps trying to get them to give them back, because like a 4 year old, he doesn't really know WHY he wants them, he's just mad someone took something he thought was his.
Anyway, either of you see that new Dilly Dally Show with the return of the Green Lantern John Stewart?
A lot of people are taking his criticisms of Biden as him "both sidesing" the election, but that's not my read on it. Clearly his examples of Trump being a bad candidate were FAR worse than his examples of Biden being a bad candidate, and I don't think he considers them "equally bad", of course Trump is far worse, (and heck I've warmed up to the fact Biden is doing some good things, more than my low expectations for sure). But, that doesn't mean we shouldn't criticize the current president, and ask the important question of whether or not maybe someone else may be more fit for the job than candidates who "broke records they set themselves" as far as age goes. Some people are trying to label this as Biden having "eighty years of experience", but I don't think his political experience goes back to his gradeschool days back when he was carting in scrap metal and making sure to turn off all the house lights at night to avoid being a target in an air raid. That seems a little disingenuous. It's not that they're the same, it's that we should perhaps have higher standards and recognize that the country doesn't just need to be put back the way it was before Trump, it needs an overhaul. Remember, the country the way it was before Trump, LED TO TRUMP. That's all we're saying.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
