YES!….
More from Biden sit down and do the Seth Meyers show ….
President Biden has come up with a new defense against claims that he is too old to run for another term: At least he knows who his wife is — as opposed to “the other guy.”
As he expands his efforts to reassure voters that he is fit for another four years, Mr. Biden took a turn on the talk show circuit, using an appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” on NBC to poke his challenger, former President Donald J. Trump, on his own struggles with memory.
In a playful but pointed interview aired early Tuesday morning, Mr. Meyers sought to help the president address the age issue, which polls show is an important drawback in the minds of most voters. Mr. Meyers jokingly told the president that he had obtained classified information indicating that “you are currently 81 years old.”…
…
He then went on to jab Mr. Trump, who is 77, over a video in which he seems to call his wife, Melania Trump, by another name. “You got to take a look at the other guy,” Mr. Biden said. “He’s about as old as I am, but he can’t remember his wife’s name.”
Turning more serious, Mr. Biden added that the contest is not about how old the candidates are. “It’s about how old your ideas are,” he said. “Look, this is a guy who wants to take us back. He wants to take us back on Roe v. Wade. He wants to take us back on a whole range of issues that are — 50, 60 years, they’ve been solid American positions.”…
…
Still, Mr. Trump has in the past misspelled Melania’s name on Twitter as “Melanie.” And during a deposition in the defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll, Mr. Trump mistakenly identified a picture of Ms. Carroll as Marla Maples, his second wife. A jury found that Mr. Trump sexually abused Ms. Carroll in the 1990s, and a separate jury ordered him to pay $83.3 million for defaming her…
…
The audience was an important one for Mr. Biden, who relied on strong support among younger voters to defeat Mr. Trump in 2020 and needs them again despite surveys showing disenchantment among that generation….

I keep arguing Trump is the Biden’s only hope of wining the election, but inversely, Biden is Trump’s only hope for winning the election. Imagine that either party put up a different candidate against one of these guys and this race would be over before it even starts… I got a friend who lives outside the country (from Cyprus) and the view from his home country is that the world was more politically stable without wars under Trump (COVID Craziness aside, we all have short term memory loss). Now mind you the Russian Money influence in Cyprus is huge so they are little more bias in that respect, but no matter the foreign influence he called Biden a Mummy today in our conversation. And that was the best characteristic of Biden I can think of especially when he talks…he is looking more and more like the Crypt Keeper…This is a popularity contest and no one going to the polls as evidenced by the Michigan polls (muslim vote aside) has real confidence in the guy that he is virile enough to make it another four more years…
