MAGA alone isn’t enough to win. Trump has his floor, but he needs the votes beyond it who aren’t as blind to his flaws. And they care that Trump portrays some facile version of “strength”, but without Biden to discount it by be even older every little frailty and senile sentence can be highlighted. And he’ll take it personally and sound even worse.

It was a convenient excuse but it was never a good one. It’s like they’re unaware that Trump and Biden are basically the same age.
