But not so in this case Spitty, I'd bet on that.
You don't honestly think that elderly fella is the only man in the USA who would like the top job, do you? - Other than the orange one of course, and even he is 74.

I read somewhere that the Markle bitch wanted the job!
Yes, really!

No, but he steps up to the plate, whilst many wait in the wings, that is what happens.

I don't care.
I still think there should be an age limit on hugely responsible jobs like that.

At the moment, polls in the battleground states look good for Joe Biden, but there's a long way to go and things can change very quickly, especially when Donald Trump's involved.

The polls suggest Mr Biden is ahead in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - three industrial states his Republican rival won by margins of less than 1% to clinch victory in 2016.

But it's the battleground states where Mr Trump won big in 2016 that his campaign team will be most worried about. His winning margin in Iowa, Ohio and Texas was between 8-10% back then but it's looking much closer in all three at the moment.

That's one of the reasons why some political analysts rate his chances of re-election as low as things stand.

Here is how both men are doing in the 12 battleground states, according to Fivethirtyeight analysis:

Arizona - Biden to win (67% chance)

Florida - Biden to win (66% chance)

Georgia - Toss-up (Trump 55%, Biden 45%)

Iowa - Trump to win (63% chance)

Michigan - Biden to win (90% chance)

Minnesota - Biden to win (90% chance)

Nevada - Biden to win (85% chance)

North Carolina - Biden to win (59% chance)

Ohio - Toss-up (Biden 51%, Trump 49%)

Pennsylvania - Biden to win (83% chance)

Texas - Trump to win (71% chance)

Wisconsin - Biden to win (83% chance)
