Joe Biden must release the results of his cognitive tests — voters need to know
The Hill ^ | Liz Peek

Posted on 07/03/2020 4:04:52 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

It’s important for voters to know why Biden is being tested, by whom and why.

After all, it is not just Trump supporters who have questioned Joe Biden’s ability to navigate the rigors of the campaign trail, and the presidency. His competitors during the primary battle raised concerns, as have other Democrats and pundits on the Left.

It was Democratic contender Julian Castro who, during a testy and memorable debate moment, asked Biden whether he had already forgotten what he said two minutes earlier about health care. As one columnist wrote at the time about Castro’s insinuation that Biden’s memory was failing, “The elephant in the room has been addressed.”

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), also a rival, backed Castro up, saying “a lot of people” are concerned about Biden’s “fumbling.”

That was the debate in which Biden suggested parents should “have the record player on at night...”

In the poll in which nearly 4 in 10 likely voters thought Biden was experiencing some cognitive impairment, some 20 percent of Democratic likely voters and 30 percent of unaffiliated likely voters agreed with that assessment. Also, 61 percent of those polled think Biden needs to address the dementia issue publicly.

So, not just Fox News commentators and not just Trump supporters.

How else, after all, to explain Biden’s infrequent give-and-takes not only with reporters, but even with funders? Why else would a Democratic standard-bearer turn down an interview with the left-wing New York Times, as Biden did in April. Why is Jill Biden seemingly more likely to speak for the candidate than the candidate himself? Why are Democrats dumbing down their convention, so that it becomes a non-event? Why won’t they allow a fourth debate with President Trump?

If I am not mistaken, the cognitive test under discussion here is the same test that Medicare recipients undergo periodically called the "Wellness Exam."

Most people Joe's age would have already taken it several times. But Joe, being "special," might have avoided it.

From Wiki:

In 1988, Biden suffered two brain aneurysms, one on the right side and one on the left. Each required surgery with high risk of long-term impact on brain functionality. In February 1988, after suffering from several episodes of increasingly severe neck pain, Biden was taken by long-distance ambulance to Walter Reed Army Medical Center and given lifesaving surgery to correct an intracranial berry aneurysm that had begun leaking.[105][106] While recuperating, he suffered a pulmonary embolism, a major complication.

How hard is it for Biden to find a doctor who will say, “I tested him and he aced it?”

With heavy drugs..i am sure...slow joe is able to fire on 3 of 6 cylinders.
Being coddled by the press and being well rehearsed what to say by his minders. He can, at times, almost sound coherent.

He's trying, he's trying.

If only he can find a doctor who is as old and senile as he is.

I wonder if he has given Fauci a call?

That's the first question of the test.

"Do you remember having taken this test before?"

No? Then you just missed the first question, Old Timer.

I want to know what drugs Biden is on. It’s odd how he perks up to read a two minute speech and then falls back to his natural state as a drooling, senile old man.

They are setting it up to force trump to take the test.

Who cares if biden is senile. The real test is the race.

You know he will not be president if he wins

This is just garbage talk to obstruct the real sin... how the leftists will replace biden with a radical like Pelosi or Obama or clinton.

Actually, just the fact ..that in America..a party can run a old white dementia patient..who’s main contribution to society was being a life long hack politician..Biden has not made the quality of life better in the least way..to think he can seriously run for President .. and the Press...which is essentially a propagandist arm of the DNC..and not only ignore the obvious..but to actually claim Trump ..who had the economy running like a fine tuned machine is somehow cognitively impaired...doesn’t say much good about the state of our Union?
We are living in fraudulent times!
Nearly everything is fabricated and contrived.

I doubt it.

He doesn't need that. Any doctor would probably be willing to issue the statement.

Since dementia and hearing are linked. I bet joe can’t pass a hearing or eye test either.
