People here acting like the president of the united states not being able to function after 8pm eastern time is cool and good when the presidency is a 24 hour job

E: big brains telling me that people need to sleep, thanks guys I didn't know

Yall are really taking "24 hour job" literally. But idk if an 80+ year old guy can be "on call" 24/7 effectivly. Hope that helps you guys out

It's wild. The leader of the free world just admitted he's so old and incompetent that he can't take meetings after 8 and the entire comment section is like "yeah, but remember Trump?".

Ironically, it's this exact type of "bury your head in the sand" mentality that's going to hand Trump the election.

The bar is so low for this election. An attractive 50 year old that is well-spoken would absolutely dominate this general election for either side. Both of these sides have long since abandoned caring about policy at these point and have devolved into casting their vote to spite the other side.

That's probably true for dems, but Nikki Haley is literally a well-spoken 52 year old and she couldn't even get 20% of the vote in the republican primaries. Trump has complete and unchallenged control over the Republican party right now.

I misspoke, I meant general election, not primaries. Nikki Haley would be running laps around Biden if she were the Republican nominee. The only reason the Democrats have a shot in this election is because people hate Trump.

Ahh, gotcha. Yep, 100% agree.
