This guy also said his 88 year old mother still drives a tractor. I could drive a tractor when I was 10, but that doesn’t mean I was qualified to run the country.

Here comes the news trying to compensate for the horrible job he did

[@3DLasers]

What competency ?... 🤣🤣🤣

[@MichaelS-bz4pk]

Believe or be cancelled, you chose

[@user-bg2zi4rr6o]

I'm encouraging all Minnesota residents to start a petition to get a recall election for governor let's vote him out

[@joefrederick6471]

This guy also said Biden’s age doesn’t matter and made reference to his 88 year old mother still driving a tractor. I started driving a tractor when I was 10, cutting hay when I was 12. Does that mean I was qualified or competent enough to run the country. And BTW, thanks NBC for leaving that out so no one could hear how stupid that was.

[@MichaelS-bz4pk]

So competent no debates allowed, so competent a teleprompter is always there.Democrats will surely believe this.

[@seancosgrove1]

I'm old enough to remember when Walz was so good at being governor, he let his biggest city burn for 3 full days before doing something about it.

Agreed 🤮

[@tubularbill]

Because he’s a kool-aid drinker

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

They're not too lazy to find a better candidate, the problem is they want a Kamala Harris presidency. A second Biden win will give them that, because the Grim Reaper will maker her POTUS. This whole election is about which VP do you want to inherit the Oval Office. Democrats are foaming at the mouth to have the first brown female POTUS. AT ANY COST.

[@jessd4048]

He really revealed his racism didn’t he? And not a word of pushback or clarification from Welker.

[@wariv4512]

I wonder if they will swap Biden with Walz

[@armi4276]

I know a lady 85 years old still working as dental assistant driving back and forth 150 miles 5 days a week.

[@tominmtnvw]

Yes, age is an asset! It is for me, and I’m sure many others. Don’t make false assumptions, MSNBC. With regard to competency, his record speaks for itself.

[@libandjust4all]

They keeping using the “age” word because its propaganda and divisive, this is about mental cognition and Biden is severely lacking and it’s only getting worse

[@jessd4048]

His record is driving a Mack truck through his electoral coalition. No longer Uncle Joe…. He’s Genocide Joe who reneged in his student loan promises, no follow through on voting or police reform, lost Roe AND busted a railway strike. Dems are trying to keep a third of their essential voting base on the sofa. Get out of the bubble and take a look at what’s going on.

[@shirk_slayer]

What about when you have some age related memory and cognitive issues that are obvious to everyone? At that point is it not time to look in the toolbox and find a new tool that is a bit sharper?

[@LA-rc7cw]

You are right he is doing what he does and that is destroying our border.

81 years old vs 91 felonies counts and 77 years old. That's the choice.

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

It's a terrible choice. And they're BOTH too old and senile. They just do whatever their puppet masters 'advise' them to do. We call them White House Staffers.

[@libandjust4all]

Are you serious? 81 and bumbling fumbling sniffing, copping feels, zombie stares, passing out on the beach, laundering money, allowing nudity at public events with children near… the list goes on, that doesn’t even touch his failed policies

[@7388sunshine]

Gladly take the 77 year old with a good mind and knows what to do for the people. Biden is a loser and its showing in every way.

Biden is toast. I would never vote for trump but I don’t see a world in which he loses unless the DNC replaces Biden with a different candidate fast: At this point the medias decision to continue pushing for Biden makes me think they’re secretly pro trump because anyone with eyes can see where this is heading.
