It’s a curiosity that the Democrats couldn’t find a younger presidential candidate.

But - if it’s a choice between an elderly democrat or a psychologically damaged and dangerous man like Trump, it’s no contest. Biden every time

Oh Callistemon I see you had the same thoughts.

TerriBull Wed 26-Oct-22 07:34:21

It was hard to get one's head around a nation with something in the order of three hundred and fifty million people came up with those two as their presidential candidates shock

I cringe every time he comes on TV ( which isn’t often - unsurprisingly )
He’s too old to be running one of the most powerful countries in the world. And he should know how to pronounce the prime minister’s name, he’s the president not a member of the back room staff.

How much longer until the next US election?

He will be much worse by then.

He is past it, there’s no getting away from it.

As for Biden, it was him ot Trump - easy choice there

Unbelievable in a country with a population of C260million adults!

I agree. He does seem to be in a steady decline, both mentally and physically.

Watching him on the news earlier, slowly shuffling over to the microphone, it was hard to believe that I was looking at a man who arguably holds the most powerful job in the world.
Richi Sunak’s name is not that difficult to pronounce, but Sleepy Joe managed to fluff it.

Whoops, so did you - it’s Rishi.

To be fair, the rate we change prime ministers you could forgive a foreign leader for not bothering to learn their names.

grin For a split second ( and I haven’t had access to a tv today so have relied on gransnet to keep me informed on world events) I thought maybe we had another new PM.

As if the UK has a stellar and role model track of prime ministers

Biden may be what you want to call him, he is not a mentally ill individual who is a threat to himself and the world

Shall we also have a go at the young woman who came on after Biden and also got Sunak's name wrong?

No?

Thought not.

Definitely a worry, VP Harris seems to be keeping an exceptionally low profile.

There was a well publicised press conference a few weeks ago whereby he was asking if a female senator was in the audience… she was dead.

I'm very cautious of criticising another nation's politicians after recent events in the UK. Of course, here he could just transfer to the House of Lords and sleep the days away.

Poor bloke. Remember Reagan, called Princess Diana, Princess David?

Prentice Tue 25-Oct-22 20:29:09

It is certainly a concern Urmstongran
I hope the US can find younger candidates to put up in their next election, they do seem to be quite old for such powerful and demanding jobs.

Urmstongran Tue 25-Oct-22 20:13:01

This is what Biden called Sunak today.
Yesterday he couldn’t determine the rehearsed way out of a White House garden and had to be helped out by an aide.

This man.

The most powerful man in the world? What a joke - he is a senile buffoon. At 79y it’s embarrassing to witness. His facial plastic surgery helps him to look younger but it’s all a facade.

I think Dr Jill Biden (his wife) ought to guide him away from politics now.
What do you think? Is it time he enjoyed some rest and retirement?
