It's pretty hard to argue against the same reasoning that pushed Biden off the ticket. He IS too old, and clearly struggling, you put someone in their 40s and 50s across from Trump, he will look as badly as Biden did.

Well.. at minimum to anybody who publicly complained about bidens age.

Now is there chance to not be a hypocrite. I hope Americans are calling it hypocrites this week. There will be many.

Dosen't matter, if you convince people to say a old candidate who can't speak reasonably well is absolutely a danger to the country, you aren't unconvincing them of that now that Trump is the old confused rambler on stage.

You don't have to convince them. You just have to ask them to behave the same way. And if they don't. Then call them a hypocrite. To their face.

Good luck!
