Joe Biden's mental fitness is the big question of his candidacy. He needs to be asked about it
Washington Examiner ^ | May 18, 2020 | Eddie Scarry

So obvious is former Vice President Joe Biden’s mental decline that even some liberals are admitting that it’s real. Yet they still maintain that it’s no reason not to vote for him.

That’s the argument New York Times columnist Frank Bruni attempted to make Sunday. “There have been moments aplenty when Biden’s stumbles have made me wince — particularly a doozy from a few days ago, when he seemingly confused lost jobs with lost lives and upped the COVID-19 death toll to ‘millions of people,’” he wrote. “But Biden’s bumbling isn’t the defining issue, not even close, and we shouldn’t let Trump use it.”

It’s unclear whom Bruni meant by “we.”

There's a flaw in the logic behind that, maybe ask his wife and Son instead.

Biden is at stage two or three of cognitive decline, depending on which ratings scale you use. Either way, and whatever type of dementia we are seeing, it is progressive and irreversible. That is what needs to sink in. What we see today is the best he’ll ever be. From here on, it is all downhill and into the barn for him.

The dems are desperately doing all they can so there will not be a debate Trump vs biden. It would be disastrous for gropey-joe. biden’s failings would be obvious.

What’s the use of asking Biden if he is of sound mind? If he’s of unsound mind, he wouldn’t know it anyway. It’s a Catch 22.

You said that exactly correct IMHO.

Unless you are a caretaker for a demented person 24/7 , as I am, you realize it is hopeless to expect dementia(Alzheimers in my wife's case) to stop or improve.

It is downhill all the way for Alzheimers.
Most every other form of dementia is the same, downhill al the way.

The article professes not to know who Bruni meant by "we" but it's crystal clear: he meant that the media should control what message the American electorate hears and not allow the Trump people to use what the Dems have already used numerous times against Trump. He's admitting to bias and demanding that it be employed to control the narrative. They stopped pretending otherwise some time ago over at the NYT but appear still to be blissfully unaware that everyone knows it.
