This is how it's done:

"Trump is the only man in the presidential race manifestly unworthy of holding a position of power, and has no business ever returning to the White House."

The election is "a choice between a trustworthy public servant who upholds American values and a serial liar who wants to push the country into authoritarianism."

Editorial: One candidate is patently unfit for the White House: Trump

As Democrats weigh Biden's future, let's remember that Trump already failed the presidential fitness test. If Republicans cared about democracy, they'd be scheming to push him aside.

@petergleick the choice is between an frail man, that should have retired long time ago, and a criminal, lying old man, that raped woman.
I don't understand that. There are millions of people in the USA. How are these two the best candidates they could find? There must be a young, energetic, intelligent person somewhere still, that could candidate as president. I mean they found Obama somewhere. Aren't there more like him? Somewhere? Maybe?

@duco If you're going to spread the bullshit that Biden is senile, you'll be blocked. He just gave a brilliant one hour unscripted press conference that showed his mastery of world events, politics, and governing.

@petergleick Senile is perhaps a little exaggerated, but can you imagine Biden running a marathon? I could definitely imagine Obama doing that. Biden looks wobbly when he walks. The type of person you help over the street. And it doesn't help that he mumbles when he speaks and names Selenskyj "Putin". He is in his 80th. Sure Trump is just 4 years younger. Both are too old. But Trump looks fitter. Why don't they retire with 65-70 like others do? Choose a 40-50yo for President.
