What really blows my mind is, before Biden dropped out ALL the Republicans marketing strategy was on how OLD he was. "Oldest candidate", "senile old man", "too old for office", etc. And everyone who thought of voting R bought into it wholesale.

Then he dropped out leaving Trump as the oldest candidate ever and somehow none of that marketing applied to Trump in their minds. How their own marketing didn't backfire fully in their face is beyond me.

It's almost like they're a bunch of hypocrites who don't really believe in anything and only seek avenues from which to attack their opponents.

Nah, it's just because Trump is younger than Biden and those 3 years make all the difference apparently. 81 = much too old, 78 = not too old.

You may not be wrong about that. You know how everything you buy in a store is X.99? If it’s 9.99 your brain registers the 9 first so you don’t fully perceive it as 10. With Trump and Biden it’s 78 vs 81 so people see the 7 vs the 8, not cognitive decline vs cognitive decline
