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.

I suggest a zero term presidency, since that has already happened!

ROFL

Lol. Good one. Yeah, Slow Joe thinks that will reassure them. He’s feeble in mind and body.

ROTFLMAO!

Biden’s mental acuity and sharpness (he always was one of the dullest crayons in the box) have left that station long ago. . .

“Mental Acruity” — To become more and more mental with each passing day.

If he was honest about those standards he would pack it in and end his campaign right now. Joe won’t do that because he thinks it’s his turn to become president. When Joe says he’s in pretty good health he’s full of malarkey.

“incapable for me to fully exert all the energy”

You mean too old to “grope” no more?

Joe, your health and mental acuity have been in decline for a long time. As Hussein said...Joe, you don’t have to do this. You should have listened.

I think he already has reached that stage!

When “Just O’K’, isn’t O.K.”

AT&T needs to have Joe do a commercial for them, talk about writing a SNL script ready to go.
