Biden, turning 80, faces an age-old question: How old is too old to be president?

It is one of the most replayed moments in the history of presidential debates.

Standing on a stage in Kansas City in October 1984, President Ronald Reagan was asked the question that was on most everyone's mind. He was the oldest president ever, and had been described as being "very tired" after an earlier debate. Did he have any questions in his mind about his ability to function if deprived of sleep during a national security crisis?

Reagan, 73 at the time, said, "Not at all." And, after scowling for a moment, he submitted to a flicker of a smile as he added, "I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit — for political purposes – my opponent's youth and inexperience."

Reagan was smart and quick on his feet. Biden is retarded

It is not age! It is MENTAL state!

[RatRipper]

For Biden, 45 is too old for him to be President. . . .

Since nobody is worried about a President with dementia, I’d say 200 or 300 years would probably be “too old.”

[Erik Latranyi]

How about a cognitive exam for a POTUS of ANY age?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Plenty are worried about a president with dementia. However, they don’t count the votes.

[Roadrunner383]

Yep, but Dems have the formula now. Just refuse to appear in public, and ridicule your opponent on social media. Dems will literally vote for the brain dead as long as they think he’s liberal.

With pragmatic use of body doubles, advanced mask technologies and silicone, CGI and the like and green screens, 200 or 300 years old would be young for a POTUS.

Biden was retarded when he was 45.......................

They vote for the “D” ... doesn’t matter who (or what) is attached to it.

Not so fast. I'd take the corpses of Washington or Jefferson over Biden any day.

[grey_whiskers]

...and how young of a girl is too young for Biden to fondle and sniff?

[1Old Pro]

It’s not his age, it’s his OBVIOUS dementia.

[Magnatron]

This isn’t about Biden. It’s to set the stage for Trump.

80 is too old. I don’t care which side you’re voting for.

He’s too old. I think no politician should run after retirement age— 67.

[Sooth2222]

He was too impaired after he had his brain surgeries.

[DownInFlames]

That’s right. Democrats should vote for a can of tomato juice if it had a D on its can.

[Jeff Chandler]

In an article about the President’s age there is nothing about Biden’s decline — almost nothing about him at all.

In Biden’s case, the question should be “how stupid is too stupid to be President?”.
