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.

No one bought the other trial balloons he floated.
No one is buying this one either.

If someone hacked his Teleprompter somewhere, he would never notice. You could make him say whatever was on the screen I am sure. Although he would pronounce most of it wrong.

Sorry, Joe—that “mental acuity” horse has already left the barn.

Quiz for Joe—”When your son is paid millions of dollars by a Ukrainian company for doing nothing while you are Vice President—you do know that is a bribe, right?”

You are 100% correct — they misquoted him. He clearly said ‘acruity’...

"If someone hacked his Teleprompter somewhere, he would never notice. You could make him say whatever was on the screen I am sure. Although he would pronounce most of it wrong."

That pretty much happened with Obama one time, if you'll remember. At an event, the wrong speech was cued-up on the prompter, and the idiot began to read it.

As far as I'm concerned, his 'eloquence' was way overstated. He was a barely-competent reader of the words in front of him on the screen, with his head swinging from side to said and that haughty, smug look on the soft tissue between his prodigious ears...

Bide's always been a moron, but he's clearly slipping into dementia, and frequently just rambles incoherently, without completing a cogent thought. How anybody can take this guy seriously is beyond me...

This is sad and not reassuring. It was a dumb position to offer.

When my “mental acuity” declines, I might vote for someone like Joe Biden.
