      The issue is that a large portion of the undecided voters, who we need to win over, are stupid. Regardless of how much or little sense something makes, it needs to be electorally sound.

      Running the country isn’t the problem, effectively campaigning is. After that debate every time Biden has a senior moment, that’s going to be the story. Gut-based voters will see him as weak. People managing their own elderly relatives will think about how fast they declined. Not to mention their new practices to keep him fresh preclude a heavy campaign schedule he needs to do in order to catch up.
