High Standards For Biden. None For Trump.

Thursday nights debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was…underwhelming.

Biden, 81-years-old, definitely showed his age. In the beginning, there were moments where he paused or seemed unable to keep his train of thought. While that might cause alarm for those who are hellbent on criticizing Biden and his age, the response from some in the public was melodramatic, exaggerated, and over-the-top.

I love and respect President Biden, they say, but I was hurt, terrified, and scared for us as a nation, they claim, as I watched him be a shell of his formal self, they lament.

Give me a break…

You would think Biden was wheeled out, unable to form words, and communicating with the help of an aide.

As the debate went on, Biden gained his bearings, and beat Trump easily. Biden answered the questions he was asked honestly, he listed his achievements as president, and he gave his plans to deal with issues like climate change, keeping Medicare alive, and lowering taxes for those who aren’t wealthy.

Trump dodged answering questions about his plans to solve the nation’s problems because he couldn’t. Trump doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing.
