Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell struck up a friendship during their nearly quarter-century in the Senate together. Now in their 80s, the Democratic president and the Senate GOP leader appear to be giving political cover to each other as they fend off questions about their advanced age and health issues.
Notably, McConnell, R-Ky., 81, hasnāt joined Donald Trump, 77, and other Republicans who have attacked Bidenās age, health and mental acuity as he seeks re-election.
And after McConnellās second freeze-up last week, Biden was one of the first to call McConnell, telling reporters that his āfriendā sounded like āhis old selfā and that such episodes are a āpart of his recoveryā from a fall and a concussion this year.
As long as you take Bernie with you. As a liberal I hate the hypocrisy of calling for term limits, while rallying behind Bernie, an ineffectual career politician who canāt get shit done and is all nice soundbites. Heās also a dinosaur.
IMHO Bernie is best suited to be an advisor or advocate, if he wants to continue.
For sure. Heās got great ideas, but he doesnāt have that thing that makes people want to rally behind him. Like I mentioned, he couldnāt even get his own partyās nomination, which means he would have gotten wrecked in Presidential election.
Tell me more about politics please.
