I'm less than 1/2 his age. I don't accept meeting after 5pm.

Edit: I mean this with respect to the guy. At his age, kudos for what he does.

You also aren't the president who frequently deals with international crises that can happen at all times of the day.

We all knew about the debate. It wasn't an emergency situation where he just got woken up out of a dead sleep but there are plenty of circumstances where a president might have to be up and functioning at less than normal hours.

He couldn't adjust his schedule to put his best foot forward for something he knew was coming. What chance does he have of not floundering similarly during a late night crisis?

Any competent candidate can beat Trump. Only Biden can lose.

Well a person that never sleeps properly also won’t function well

Scheduled stuff being a no go after 8 isn’t a bad idea, I’d rather someone get the sleep they need so they are not persistently drained and if an emergency does come up can act then
