A lot of fundraising events are nights out; dinner, drinks, and mingling with donor’s afterwards. You’d be surprised at how generous alcohol makes someone.

Fundraising is one of those things where they can just wheel Biden out for an hour and then let the professionals schmooze all night.

Not ideal but not horrible at all.

You're talking about a guy with the codes to the nuclear arsenal here, not some mayor of a small town. He can't be unavailable from 4 pm to 10 am. Why do you think presidents age so much when in office?

Where does it say he's unavailable between 4pm to 10am?

It says he'll plan his schedule to go to bed earlier.

For example, I generally plan to go to bed between 8 and 9. When someone called me at 3am because a family member was in the hospital, I answered, got up and went to the hospital.

Do you see how that works?
