Timothy Egan: It will take more than cheap shots to knock off Biden

For months, they’ve been waiting for Joe Biden to collapse. Old Joe. Sputtering Joe. The Septuagenarian Slug. He’s That Seventies Show. The woke Democratic caucus waits for him to forget a name, or mistake his cellphone for the remote. Ditto the woke press. He mentioned “record player,” for God’s sake, answering a question about racism!

Keep waiting. In a debate where Democrats finally went there on guns, saying what most Americans already believe — “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” said Beto O’Rourke, in the line of the night — they finally went there on the big Biden question: his age.
