LOL, the answer is YES, Alex Witt, YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ales Witt on her show on MSNOW this morning just asked the most obvious softball question I think I've heard in a good long while.

"There were plenty of questions about Biden's age when he turned 80. Should there be
more concern about President Trump turning 80?"

Michael Hardaway, the guest, didn't miss a beat and said YES before listing the falling asleep in meetings, the questionable medical reports, and the fact that Biden was much more lucid in the content of his communications.

So now that we've cleared that up, let's get to it Alex and other journalists. There's plenty to cover about trump's age and cognitive ability/ Even half of the attention you devoted to Biden would be nice.

But I still think this is important, and recent polls show that the public agrees.

She has a non-confrontational demeanor and asks questions that actually elicit information from her guests instead of just showcasing herself. Her interviews go so smoothly that it’s easy to under estimate how effective she is.

She's not my favorite and not my least favorite. In this case she may have been setting the guest up for his excellent answer. But if so, it is necessary for her and others to make trump's age an issue.

prioritizing the fluff pieces regarding The Drumpt at the expense of truth reporting what the narcissist-in-chief doesn’t want you to ponder about him.

Guaranteed with few exceptions that keeping that stupendous salary, notoriety and journalistic glorification has supernatural powers to vanquish any integrity regarding one’s adherence to a free press.
