Ep. 627 - Joe Biden should NOT run for reelection

Right now, potential candidates for the Democratic and Republican nominations for President of the United States are all working through what it's going to look like for them to run for the nomination. Privately, teams are being formed, decisions are being made, and the waters are being tested. On one end, dozens of Republicans are considering whether or not they run - regardless of Trump's role in the race. If Trump does run, it will indeed scare off most candidates, but some are already telling their teams they are running one way or the other. On the other end, dozens of Democrats are privately considering whether or not they will run. But the major elephant in the room is the fact that Joe Biden, who is 79 years old, and will be 82 if he runs again, and will be nearly 90 years old if he won a second term, might run for reelection. In fact, this week the White House has said that he will. In my opinion, they HAVE to say that. If they said otherwise, he'd immediately be a lame duck president and lose some of the power he currently has. But he absolutely should NOT run. Yes, he's too old. And not nearly as capable as you'd hope the President of the United States would be. But also, he's just not that great of a President.
