I'm in my 50's, and I think I might not be 100% either if I'd had Biden's schedule (including his son's trial & conviction) over the last 10 days

Biden has the power of incumbency. As the sitting President, he gets first right of refusal, and if he chooses to run, the Democratic Party essentially clears the decks and gets behind him. Trump has basically staffed the Republican Party with loyalists and yes-men (and women, because his daughter-in-law is co-chair of the RNC). Many Republicans still believe he really "won" in 2020 and deserves a shot at revenge against Biden. His base is strong, but Republicans are not unanimously behing him (see Nikki Halley still pulling 25-30% of the vote in the primaries, even after she dropped out). Unfortunately, Nikki couldn't pull off the upset and we're stuck with Trump again. |

Allies are saying Biden isn’t well and it’s the worst they’ve seen him. The thing is our enemies see it too . That’s why Russia made moves under him, they saw him as weak and feeble. They are also aware he’s not too bright, his career in the senate is trash. In any case, this goes to show he’s unfit to lead. It also shows that that’s why the Democrat party is using lawfare ti get rid of his political rivals . The Democrat party wants control and wants to suspend elections and appoint leaders now |
Unlike the Democrats who are ecstatic over Trump's reported signs of dementia, etc. |
Well I only voted for Biden last time because Trump is unhinged. If we are judging based on who the order people involved will be, I'll go back to voting R. |
It does not matter what Biden’s mental state is. We simply need to ensure he wins for two reasons: 1. Keep Trump out of office. 2. Ensure we get the next SCOTUS picks. |
There are definitely mean-spirited people on both sides. But it's a bit similar to the two current dementia cases in my own family. My dad is confused, awkward, and frail like Biden. My FIL has always been an @ss and is now just going on mean rants at people and threatening to divorce my MIL. One is more sympathetic than the other. |

All the other world leaders cope. It's part of the game. And flying on AF1 is flying on your own hotel with beds. You're just coming up with excuses for what is glaringly an elderly and frail man whose cognitive abilities is questionable even at the best of times. Look, even a number of prominent Democrats are saying Biden is too old and should have stepped aside. This is just the hard reality of Biden's situation. |
Does not matter one bit. Biden is not the decision maker. He is ultimately a public facing component of a larger machine. Thankfully we have the best and the brightest young minds in roles that matter and advising him. |
If he can't handle a presidential schedule, he has no business running for reelection. |
Not sure if you're the same person who keeps saying this, but it's really not the own you think it is. Trump wouldn't be ahead in the polls if people were happy with how things are going. |
LOL! I just turned 61, average 20k steps a day, been to six time zones over the same time period while managing several big real estate investment funds that have major redemption issues and lmupside loan to values. If you think that's not bad, I will trade positions with you anytime round one. |
I bet if you were being filmed during most of your waking hours while you were at public events, we could also find 10-15 second clips where you looked confused or lost or out of it. Not to mention, it doesn't sound like you're very good at your job. When are you going to ask the government to bail you out? |
Except he is handling the schedule, that's the point. He's just tired. Meanwhile Trump keeps talking about Hannibal Lecter. He's just plain losing his mind. |
