Why I never worried about Biden's health.

He had a competent and working Federal Government and serious Cabinet choices.

The clown show Trump has assembled would put P.T. Barnum to shame.

Voters don’t want to constantly look to the past. We need to move the country forward.

While you may not have worried about Biden’s health, his wife does. She just said she didn’t think he could have managed a second term. He does have late stage cancer.

Your point about his having competent cabinet choices is, however, sound.

if his health had significantly worsened, the VP either taking on part of the workload or taking over completely via a peceful and lawful transfer of power.

That's why I was annoyed beyond belief when the fools at the top pushed Biden out at the last minuute, leaving Harris too little time to campaign. I didn't expect Biden's health to hold up for another 4 years but that isn't a problem. It's why we have Vice Presidents.

There was a chance he would not be able to finish his second term. But we would have had a competent replacement, so I had no worries.
