The Democrats are the gift that never quits giving. Twenty-five Democrats (depending on who’s counting) think they’re capable of running the country and Thursday the party that can’t shoot straight gave us a presidential primary within a presidential primary.
This one is the Geezer Primary, and the collective age of the two front-runners is 153. Closing in on 80 may be a little north of what a homecoming queen expects in an escort to the ball, but if beauty is in the eye of the beholder perhaps “spry” is a judgment we can measure for ourselves. Both Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden look like they could get around the floor for at least one last dance with the queen. Joe for one seems to have a way with the ladies.
Besides, an excess of years will be the least of what good ol’ Joe has to fret about. He picked a fight with Donald Trump in his announcement Thursday but no matter what he can think of to hint what he thinks of the Donald, he’s getting into that competition a little late. Is there anyone in America at this late hour who hasn’t made up his mind about the president? What is there left to say?
