You know what? I heard Biden has people write his speeches! OMG, guys, that must mean he is super old.

How is this news? Old man uses note cards more at 11.

Why it matters: Biden's reliance on notecards to help explain his own policy positions — on questions he knows are coming — is raising concerns among some donors about Biden's age.

Bizzare. I've held an elected position before, and gave 2-3 speeches a year to some pretty big audiences. I used note cards to make sure I hit all the points I wanted to hit, even had cards for questions I knew I would get. It's completly normal, especially when your words are going to end up online forever.

Yes this is of concern to the party. Many people have expressed such concern. If Biden should take direction, a strong leader such as Putin would be instructive. Am agreeing with the newspaper article. Also, I am young Democratic voter with many sexually degenerate friends and people of color.

Ah, a comrade of the fellowship. I, too, am a person with many people of color.

Trump team must be worried. It implies Biden can read.

Now donors are worried.

Now the people who matter to the party are worried.
