Biden promises one-term presidency if his 'energy and mental acuity' decline

Joe Biden said that he would not seek a second term as president if his health deteriorates while in office.

A voter at a CNN town hall in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Thursday night asked the former vice president, 77, if he would commit to serving only one term.

"No, I wouldn't do that, but, I tell you what, you're going to be able to make a judgment," Biden said. "And, by the way, the two youngest people on the stage now are me and Buttigieg," he joked, referring to 38-year-old former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, the youngest candidate in the race.

Biden said, however, that he would not seek a second term if his health declined.

"I'm in pretty good health, but, look, I guarantee you this: If anything changed in my health, making it incapable for me to fully exert all the energy and mental acuity that was needed to be done, then I give you my word: I would not run again," Biden said.

He only wants to be the most powerful person in the world for four years
if his physical and mental capabilities are compromised?

That should energize his voting base.

Except he said “mental acruity” which proves he’s already losing it.

????

Do they distinguish between jokes and lies? Or does it all kind of mush together for them?

Id like to see Biden get two terms.
One for graft in Ukraine and one for graft in China.

Which is grammatically correct?

Joe Biden IS an idiot.

- or -

Joe Biden ARE an idiot

Seems to me Ol’ Joe is such an imbecile that the plural is fitting.

Ha, ha, yep. He’s already drooling down his front and wondering who all those people are around him.

The ABSOLUTE Death Knell for a campaign is the old “Don’t worry if I become senile.” promise.

Slow Joe isn’t going to get the nomination so he doesn’t have to promise voters about his faculties.

Better: zero terms because it already has.

More time to spend with the new grandchild.

Sooo, He thinks he is younger than Warren and Klob?

He has already lost it, his brain is puddin’.

Actually, this WILL energize his voting base since his supporters are almost all in the 75-95 age group and its “their turn” to run the country.

No need to worry, Joe. That will never come up.
