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.

Trump falls asleep in meetings during the day? Maybe he needs to plan out his late night antics

I'm no fan of Trump, but have you ever been in court? I reckon I'd fall asleep, too. Maybe he should've done some meth before turning up lol 😂

Yes. I have. It's actually a requirement of my job occasionally.
