Americans might well have watched 'Weekend at Bernie's' with Biden's debate performance

Letter to the editor

Biden was obviously trying to remember what was told to say, as if there was a teleprompter.

He likely would have remembered enough without too much preparation. He can read a teleprompter and deliver a message at a rally, as anyone can who is propped up like Bernie, the title character from the movie "Weekend at Bernie's."

Biden is obviously not capable of four more years. Why would he even want to at his age and health status? Age sneaks up on people his age. His advantage from beginning was to be one term and not concerned about reelection. Trump was one term. These old men did not do well enough to have second terms.

Old men are vulnerable to having their egos stroked by handlers for their vested interests, especially by adoring women. Harris has not been groomed visibly to step in.

There are better female candidates of color for POTUS or VP. Pence served country well at the end by certifying election for the good of the country.

Will Harris also serve well in transition?
