    Former leadership appointed a single guy to write this report with no real academic resources, so it really just reads as that guy’s opinion.

      I would buy that it’s just an out of touch loser’s opinion, but what kinda screws that up for me is that they didn’t even discuss Biden’s age or* cognitive issues being a significant factor. Anyone alive and* paying attention during the time, even someone who only watched morning Joe, would have mentioned that.

      Edit: phone typos

        It’s not a fair argument because Trump is also old as fucking dinosaur shit and has even worse lifestyle and habits.

          They’re competing with the couch, not just Republicans. Couch sitters basically always have higher standards of Democrats than they do of Republicans. In fact, the entire electorate and media infrastructure have higher standards for Democrats. It’s fine to disagree, but I feel like that’s just being purposely obtuse for why it’s not in the report. Ken Martin and Ken Martin’s “friend” fucked this up royally and even liberals are pointing that out. Why the cope?

          Also couldn’t let this slip by either: Ken Martin commissioned the report, NOT his predecessors.
