My fellow sufferers of 'too many birthdays syndrome' will remember this man who, like Joe, was also quizzed about his age and mental fitness to govern in his final presidential term. However in those times, presidential debates were conducted in a more polite and good humored manner. No better illustration of which than this glorious comeback to the age question. Enjoy :)
Campaigns and nations turn on a phrase or image. Dukakis in a tank wearing a helmet and looking like a preschooler. Howard Dean screaming yeehaw! Anthony Weiner... well.. you know. Jill Biden praising her husband, "You answered alll the questions!" Good boy! Been saying... humor for the good folks, sarcasm for the seriously misguided, mockery for the evil among us. And then there is simply waiting for a politician or political group to self-destruct. They just don't do it fast enough. Reagan was great because he delivered a fatal dagger with humor and a smile.
Regan would have called Biden a liar.
Thanks for sharing! Reagan and Mondale had more decorum. Biden’s forgetfulness is a real issue and Trump’s narcissistic personality is also a real issue. I believe The 340+ million People of the United States of America 🇺🇸 deserve better Presidential choices than Biden, Trump or RFK Jr. BTW, it’s important to remember Reagan was not all there at the end of his second term.
Unlike Biden, he cared.
Walter Mondale would imply that Regan was to old to be president One of Regan's best combat of his age (During Debate) "I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience."
Gone are the days. The laughter Is non existent.
Good orator.. he was smart.. not as smart as Thatcher but smart. Actor v Scientist. " Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem." Can you imagine hearing that from anyone today?!
So sorry to learn you think this...believe this...came to this conclusion.

2wHe was labeled a ‘war monger’ - and yet he was responsible (along with with Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul) in ending The Cold War.
