I can't wait for that. It will be so refreshing to see Joe Biden finally put to rest all the right wing scare mongering about his mental state. He will be crisp, fresh, articulate and on point throughout the entire speech, I'm sure.
Actually easy to read a speech that he will have rehearsed over 100 times-
