    He’s a stupid old man. But this is the sort of non-news story smear campaign for “candidate too old”. It’s the same exact story for Trump as it was for Biden a few months ago. Both may be true, but let’s stop being hypocritical.

    Also if anyone has done a traveling sales pitch, which is all he’s doing, this happens sometimes. One of the presentations I have and give to people all over the planet is basically the exact same thing for all but 1 or 2 slides because it’s “tailored for every audience”. You go on autopilot. And sometimes you seriously don’t know where you are. You get on a plane and show up. The only people that care he missed the name of the place are people too stupid to realize he doesn’t care. He doesn’t care where he is, it could be Iowa or Montana or Missouri, they’re all shithole places to him and he just wants back on his plane and to GTFO as soon as possible. These aren’t his people. He really could not care less than he does.

      He spent months, or even years, saying his political opponent was not mentally fit enough to be president, especially because of his age. He is now showing that he is the candidate who is not mentally fit enough to be president, especially because of his age. Any chance to point this out, even if the individual instance might have another explanation, is perfectly fair game.

      Although, I will agree with you, that he actually doesn’t give a shit about these people and that might explain the lapse too. But that ain’t any better.
