    Can you prove Dems don't think Biden will last 1 term?

    Not sure how reliable this is and it is not exactly an answer to your query but you may find it interesting...

    From:

    https://www.politico.com/news/2019/12/11/biden-single-term-082129

    "While the option of making a public pledge remains available, Biden has for now settled on an alternative strategy: quietly indicating that he will almost certainly not run for a second term while declining to make a promise that he and his advisers fear could turn him into a lame duck and sap him of his political capital."

    In relation to health of Presidents, Trump is probably the most unhealthy sitting President in recent times. Reagan would also have been but if I recall correctly, it didn't hit until his second term.

    Biden is being run as a transition candidate but he seems healthy out, outside of the world of conspiracies.

    Its just my opinion. Would the average American have faith in him to face down enemies? The likes of Putin would think nothing of him IMHO. I think voters will favor a candidate who looks physically fitter.

    You'd have to hope they'd favour a candidate that doesnt bend over to Putin at every possible opportunity. Trump v Putin is like watching a small child in total fear of his headmaster.

    Every time I see him (and I follow his administrations media output daily) he looks very healthy and active. Now I get that he is not exactly a spring chicken but he looks well for a 74 year old IMHO. Wealthy people tend to age better due to having the resources to look after their health (the best doctors, the best health care and the best food etc).

    He eats awfully, he's obese and has known health issues, he looks likely to have had a stroke. Both of my parents are well into their seventies and look healthier. The lifestyle he lives simply doesn't equal healthy.

    Biden cicyles. On an actual bike. Would Trump be able to get on a bike. And when has Trump ever stood up to Putin. The level of nonsense that you post is truly astonishing.

    I'm not sure i would describe McDonalds burgers as "the best food".

    Mod

    Gonna be a lot of cards, bans and thread bans in this thread if people can't stop themselves from making attacks.

    Ignore, respond civilly or report. Those are your options.

    While we don't know that for sure, we do know that medical professionals felt the need to give him that test that he found so hard. Someone brought up "mini-strokes" out of nowhere but I can't remember who that was.

    Trump doesn't even walk around the golf course, he travels in a cart. Yet I have seen Trump supporters claim all his "golfing" is a great way to stay fit :D

    Even without walking around the course it is a fairly strenuous game and it would certainly keep the mind fit.

    The mini strokes originated from Michael Schmidt so a pretty credible journalist. He won two Pullitzers, one for breaking the story on Comey's pledge of loyalty request and the other for sexual harrassment allegations again Bill O'Reilly.

    That's because of his "Battery Theory"

    Trump believes that everyone is born with a finite amount of energy and that if you exercise too much , you'll drain your "battery" too quickly and die.

    actually the specific mention of mini strokes came from Trump himself in a tweet. nobody had mentioned mini strokes before that hence the raised eyebrows at such a specific denial of something that nobody else had mentioned.

    No and No.

    The most strenuous part of golf is the walk, and have to agree with the saying about it ruining the walking part.
