Focus on Biden health underscores future Trump attacks
By Amie Parnes - 09/07/19 05:01 PM EDT

Conservative media’s focus on Joe Biden’s health this week underscores how attacks on the former vice president’s age are likely to be a big part of the race if he’s the Democratic nominee.

Biden will turn 77 this fall, and the issue of his age has repeatedly resurfaced since he entered the presidential race.

President Trump, who is just four years younger than Biden, already has made a number of allusions to Biden’s age, accusing the former vice president just last month of “not playing with a full deck.”

Democrats and Republicans alike say they expect Trump to continue to play the age card, particularly whenever Biden makes a gaffe.

“They’re going to make it all about him not being physically fit for the job,” said Shermichael Singleton, a Republican strategist who briefly worked for the Trump administration. “Republicans will use it to point out that he’s not ready for the job on day one.”

Since Biden is out there telling tall tales or he is senile, Trump's name for him should be Shell Shocked Joe, or Senile Joe.

He should be off enjoying his grandchildren and writing his 50 page memoir.  Since he did virtually nothing of note, I might be generous on the length of his memoir.

   I thought Ol Joe would crash and burn by the end of Summer and that's only 2 weeks away, so I may be off by a week or two.

And that 50 pages is before the fact checkers remove the made-up stories...

'Way back yonder, a long time ago
Momma got her hair sniffed by bloody-eyed Joe
Daddy won't say, but I think he knows
What ever happened to bloody-eyed Joe

Where'd ya come from...
Where'd ya go
Where'd ya come from
Bloody-eyed Joe.

Nope.  The President will focus on Biden's "relationships" with China (and how he sided with them over American workers) and Ukraine, Obamacare, TPP, the Paris Accord, Iran, taxes, job creation, black unemployment, the military under Obama/Biden, the Green New Deal, and socialism/globalism.
