After Taking Another Day Off The Campaign Trail, It’s Time To Ask If Joe Biden Is OK
The Federalist ^ | September 22, 2020 | David Marcus

Tuesday morning before 9 a.m., the Biden campaign announced it was putting a lid on the day. For those unfamiliar with this lingo it means that Biden will have no events or appearances for the rest of the day.

This is a Tuesday, just 42 days away from an election that by all accounts seems to be tightening, especially in key battleground states. To basically take the day off in the midst of a heated campaign is strange, even more so because he has done this several times in the past few weeks. It is becoming impossible not to wonder if Biden really is fit to campaign, and by extension, be president of the United States.

Personally, I detest the politics of mental or physical decline. I didn’t like the attacks made on Hillary Clinton’s health in 2016, or the ridiculous assertions that Trump has had anything from a stroke to dementia. For most of the past few months when I did interviews and the subject of Biden’s well being came up I just sloughed it off, making it clear it wasn’t something I wanted to discuss because I had no way of assessing it. That is starting to change.

The fair thing to do here is to look first at the Biden campaign’s own explanation for all these days off. It basically boils down to “this is our plan and we know what we are doing.” Fair enough. They clearly think Biden does better in controlled environments, because he does and they do still lead in the polls, even if Biden is leading from the basement.

However, in the days before the Democratic National Convention last month Biden finally escaped the basement and seemed to be revving up his engine for more conventional campaigning.

People, it is like it was with Hillary. They plan to win with cheating. The left thinks they have the cheat down pat after their shenanigans in 2018. They aren’t going to take that decrepit ole fool Biden out of the basement day after day.

"Couldn’t Biden claim to be taking a day off the campaign trial for debate preparation?"

The reality is, the unemployed can't take a day off.

Not amphetamines. Can't go giving old folks that kind of heavy duty stuff. Nitro glycerin infusions probably. Not the explosive nitro. It's a medication that mildly boosts the cardio rate.

But you can't keep this kind of medication regimen up with an old person like him.

His over all physical health, his deteriorating mental state, side effects. It'll come to a head soon and Biden will collapse.
