Biden clearly does not have dementia. He has some other serious problems, but his mind is there. Once you decode his halting delivery, the ideas behind his positions are sound. You can tell his mind is still sharp, it's his body that is betraying him.
The criminal is only capable of lying and deflecting.
Wat. At the debate he just full faded on many questions let alone that medicare response, jesus.
To me, it looked like the problem was not his brain, it was between his brain and his mouth. His brain knew what it wanted to say, his mouth took the long road to get there. And when you only have a minute or two to make your point, every second counts.
I am not saying that to try and gloss over the problem. But I've watched older relatives succumb to Alzheimer's and dementia over the years, and this is not it. It's different. It's still bad for any older person, though, much less a President.
Regardless, he's been "betrayed" and I'd really rather not have to describe the only possible reasonable candidate for President of the United States that way. Sorry?
You are correct, of course. And that's why this movement to get him to step aside is gaining so much traction. The more I see key Democrats defending him in public, the more I think the private conversations are getting heated.
There is so much riding on this election that we can't just call a mulligan and say "we laid an egg this time, we'll try again in 2028".
