After observing Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi this month, Americans should stick with the devil (Trump) they know. The former has age-related senility and the latter has age-related insanity. Forget their politics and consider the demands of their respective offices (assuming Biden wins). Apolitical crises come at leaders fast (e.g. hurricanes and acts of war). Do Democrats really prefer liberal and lost over conservative and lucid? In today’s world?

Britt Hume oft cites Biden’s growing senility based on real evidence. Just this week, Biden gave the wrong voter-registration website, told voters he was running for senate, forgot Mitt Romney’s name, and confused Ted Kennedy with Robert Byrd. His campaign’s response? “I refer you to the first debate.” Not comforting at all, especially when the former White House physician (Ronny Jackson) notes Biden lacks “the cognitive ability to serve as our commander in chief.”

Senility is worsened by Biden’s default response to his senior moments: dismissive anger. He told a black interviewer, “if you’re voting for Trump, you ain’t black” and a pro-gun voter, “you’re a son of a bitch.” After a reporter said 56% of Americans feel better off now than four years ago, Biden blurted, “They probably shouldn’t [vote for me]. 54% of the American people believe they’re better off economically today than they were under our administration? Well, their memory is not very good.”

An angry old president is bad enough, but problems compound when a crazy old woman runs the House. Nancy Pelosi toggles between “I don’t care about Trump” to “Trump must be impeached” or “we must invoke the 25th amendment.” She’s nearing 80 and her mood swings are drastic. Just watch her snarky answers to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer [click here] when asked about dissing the $1.8 trillion relief bill. And that was CNN!

The federal government needs age limits – not term limits. If it’s bad when money sways a politician’s decision, it’s dangerous when a politician can’t recall the issue’s details. Who benefits when aged politicians serve well past their prime? Nobody, and if you’ve taken away dad’s car keys or put mom in assisted living, you know seniors must be forced to do the right thing – and why is that? Because nobody just gives up command and control.

Of course, there are exceptions, but super seniors put a government for the people at risk. The framers of the constitution enforced maturity (e.g. presidents must be 35), but not mental acuity because 18th century males died on average at 37-years old. In 1787, bodies gave out long before brains. The framers were reminded of this daily by 81-year-old Benjamin Franklin, who constantly fell asleep in his chair. Mind you, Biden and Pelosi are no Benjamin Franklins, and it’s time for them to go.
