Senator Bernie Sanders basically admitted that President Biden is declining, but said he will support him anyway.
In an interview with The New Yorker’s Isaac Chotiner, the Vermont senior senator confessed Biden “sometimes [gets] confused about names.”
“You’re right—sometimes he doesn’t put three sentences together. It is true,” Sanders told Chotiner, before adding a big caveat.
“But the reality of the moment is, in my view, he is the best candidate the Democrats have for a variety of reasons, and trying, in an unprecedented way, to take him off the ticket would do a lot more harm than good,” Sanders added.
Sanders spoke about how impressed he has been with Biden’s record in office, but didn’t entirely dismiss the question over whether Biden could serve as president for another four years.
“Look, I have concerns about everything, you know? And everybody should have concerns about everything. As a nation, we do a very poor job, both in Congress and in the media, of focusing on issues that impact the working class,” Sanders said, dodging the question. “So I would much prefer to have somebody who can’t put three sentences together who is setting forth an agenda that speaks to the needs of working-class people.”
When Chotiner described Biden as having “trouble completing a single sentence,” Sanders replied simply, “He does.”
Still, Sanders said that he’d prefer Biden stay despite showing signs of decline. It is a candid description of Biden that one would not hear from any of the president’s other supporters, and that is probably because of Sanders’s outsider reputation as an avowed socialist and independent in the Senate.

They know he’s a vegetable but they still want him to run and govern. This puts politics above our country.
Well that’s an indictment of the entire democrat party.
“...sometimes he doesn’t put three sentences together. It is true...”
= = =
How about three short, imperative sentences:
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
I beg to differ. They don’t want him to run the country.
They want him in so they can use him to run the country. In his name.
At this point, HE’S the patsy.
Man! What does that say about the other possible Dem candidates?!
I watched the interview he did for BET. Three sentences? He could not complete one coherent sentence and even when he did string a group of words together it was unintelligible through his slurring. He is toast!
Communists don’t like losing as it impacts their deeply-ingrained need to control people with an iron fist.
And what do you do when your best candidate is incompetent?
Wow, check out that Bernie photo. He talks so much he has two lower lips!
Bernie and his LEFTIST cadre have gotten more from Biden than they would have ever dreamed getting from Bernie were he to be President.
No wonder Bernie wants to keep Joe at the helm.
In the film “The Ice Road’, Liam Neeson plays a truck driver whose brother was injured in the Iraq War and is left aphasic, yet functions somewhat through his remaining expertise as a mechanic and his brothers caretaking of him. I am sure there are many degrees of Aphasia. My father, at age 78, suffered an ischemic (not bleeding) stroke while home alone, with immediate aphasia symptoms. He wrote down what he believed was happening to him (I think I’;m having a stroke, can’t talk, call 911 now!) on my Mom’s IPAD and took it to a neighbor. He was rushed to a stroke center hospital, scanned, given thrombolytic clot-buster medication and made a full recovery, going home a couple days later. Sorry about your friend. The saying, time is brain is indeed apt.
Remember when the Red Chinese posted that phony picture of Chairman Mao that claimed he was so much alive that he went swimming.
