    ”Biden’s impairments also masked the extent of Trump’s flaws as a candidate.”

    Bullshit. His flaws were obvious, but ignored or glossed over by the media.

      true, but the contrast is bigger to someone younger like Harris. With Biden he was the old guy, now it’s Trump who is very visibly the old guy compared to Harris.

        There was no question he was a weak candidate before he rode down the esedcalator. Perhaps people started to release Bidens age recently, but the media supportèd Trump for a long time for ratings. Don’t tell me that all of a sudden reality prevailed.

          the fact that trump tried to highlight harris’ age is pretty telling - even he thinks the contrast between candidates is now sharp and stark and is trying to smear age “sameness” across harris.

          the dynamic shifted in a second, and he is flailing - perhaps reality is slowly prevailing.
