You've heard Donald Trump talk in the last couple of months and you think Biden is senile?
He has good days and bad days. My dad's 82, and he's doing a lot better than DJT.
Senile is not a binary flag here: Biden did not present as well as Trump, it’s as simple as that.

He should have moved aside far, far sooner.

Trump talked for 3 hours straight and was coherent, remembered facts accurately and funny as well.

Harris avoided any conversation that wasn’t heavily edited.

The point is not that Trump is a shining human. It’s simply not a winning move to run a dying senile man for office who’s two generations removed from having a sliver of empathy for the actual problems Americans are facing and then pivoting mid/race to a VP that gives men vasectomies at her rallies.

That was Trump’s competition. Trump may be abrasive but at least the version of him you see has already lost his mind so you know what you’re getting. And apparently it resonates with more Americans.
