For those who think Joe Biden is too old to be President: Do any of you know how hard it is to deliver a speech that long and that complex without stumbling once?
I thought all the things you wrote and more myself & I've done a lot of public speaking & teaching. I was amazed at how energetic he is. I think if his walk wasn't so stiff, etc. from arthritis that would change some of the impression of age & frailty. He is certainly sharp in responses! I agree talking to all those people after had to be exhausting & yet he actually looked like he was still energized & enjoying it. You never see Trump putting out near the energy that Biden shows if you want to come down to real comparisons. He isn't so vigorous or energetic, he is rather enraged & angry. That is a totally different look... Certainly, we would all agree, the worst possible look for a president!
I agree! I couldn't stand that long, let alone speajk well. I do not believe he's too old.And I do believe that he sp eaks clearly and covers his topics completely. I'm really tired of the "he's too old" thing when the guy running against him is only four years younger! Find a better argument, GOP.
Thank you Arnie. Succinct and spot on.
Right on. And write on.

His speech exceeded my expectations by a lot. I'd never heard Katie Britt speak before, but she was terrible. So over-rehearsed.
Agree. It was an irrelevant speech.
