    I don’t know, I’d say Fox News and the New York Times running constant stories on a canadates age or speaking ability while avoiding more than a footnote mention of any policy, actions, or laws the candidate has shaped, no matter how watered down they were, is whining. If it was justifiable outrage, surely the focus would be on things he was actually doing, like supporting Isreal’s far right or backing down when faced with a incompetent House, and not about how someone with a speech impediment flubed a speech?

      Ah. I didn’t realize you were going for the Fox News / New York Times demographic. I’m not sure tagging in an unlikable black woman from California is going to get you very far with that crowd, but I wish you the best of luck.

      Biden pretty obviously has got some working memory issues that go beyond a simple speech impediment. Personally I don’t think that’s a big deal for an effective executive, since good staffing and delegation can bridge that gap. It’s pretty horrible for a presidential candidate though. It’s a really good thing that Trump is no more interested in a debate than Biden.
