It's time for the White House to put up or shut up

Shielding Biden from public appearances might be a rational strategy -- and that's why it's a bad sign.

    I’m not convinced this is valid criticism as much as supposition.

    The guy is busy actually doing the job. He doesn’t nesc have time right now to fanny around giving leisurely interviews. Stuff is happening, you know?

      It is a widely shared supposition, that’s literally the point of the article.

      To sinplify: Trump may win because an overwhelming majority of Americans think Biden is too old. Biden’s team has been unable to convince the public that he isn’t.

        Funny how even the lefty media keeps pushing this ‘too old’ vs ‘not as old’ thing rather than ‘experienced and honest’ vs ‘chaotic evil’.

        It’s bullshit and sad how the Rightwing can shove their toxic crap into every crevice of the society.

          It’s not the media, it is an overwhelming majority of Americans that are concerned.

          Covering your eyes doesn’t actually keep away the boogeyman or reality.

            And how do a majority of Americans from their views? I’m not a fan of blaming “the media” for things, but it’s undeniable that they have an impact.
