i refuse to believe that americans who watched the debate think that biden’s first 15 minutes are somehow stronger evidence of old age decline than falling asleep, *in public*, DURING YOUR OWN FUCKING CRIMINAL TRIAL, *IN COURT IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE AND JURY*, but, you know, i’m not a columnist.
Trump’s public schedule showed that on most days, he worked (“worked”), like three hours a day. And this isn’t even a “Biden can’t work late at night” issue. It’s a Biden is pulling back on SCHEDULED EVENTS that start after 8pm, which is actually a good idea for most people.
ditching the nominee right before the convention has a stellar track record of having worked exactly zero times it has been attempted, so it’s obviously an easy choice
basically no prior election is comparable. primaries did not matter in the same way 1968 and earlier. anyone who is very confident about how things will go is mistaken
