      The problem is that the real choice in 2024 will be to vote for whoever the Democratic candidate is, whether it’s Biden or not, or you can vote for whoever the Republican candidate will be.

      But among the Republican candidates, only Chris Christie is willing to tell the truth about January 6. Politically, I don’t agree with Christie, but he’s literally the only Republican candidate who is not actively trying to destroy our country. But if you think age is an important factor, and the GOP comes to its senses and doesn’t nominate Trump, in all likelihood, you’ll end up with somebody who is actively trying to destroy our country.

      It’s a fucking disaster. On top of that, look at Ronald Reagan. He started having memory problems during his second term, and publicly he did fine, because he surrounded himself with people who would cover for him. If Biden starts having problems, we can decide what to do at that point.

      Do I think age should be an important factor in elections? Yes. But it can’t be a factor in 2024 because it will throw us all over a cliff.
