Former Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that he won’t promise to serve just one presidential term because of his advanced age but pledged that he would not seek a second if he loses “energy and mental acuity.”
“Look, I guarantee you this: if anything changed in my health making incapable for me to fully exert all the energy and mental acuity that was needed to be done, I give you my word I would not run again,” Biden, 77, told a CNN town hall.
“It’s totally legitimate for y’all to ask about my age or anybody else’s age up there and our health. That’s why I give all my medical records, everything, okay, the whole deal, so you know where I am,” he said.
Biden then observed that he was not the only candidate on stage who was “over 70 years of age. And I’m in pretty good health: knock on wood, as my mother would say.”
But Biden’s behavior and apparent confusion on the campaign trail has attracted queries about his age and health. He has forgotten where he is at times during speeches, he’s been involved in angry confrontations with potential voters and even called a young woman a “lying, dog-faced pony soldier.”

If he’s talking about it, then he is too old.
I guess he will add someone to his staff who can mediate, er, moderate, er, monitor his mental acuity then.
*ouch* That might actually work!
If those are his mitigating factors he should keep to his word and drop out of contention now. Oh, wait, he’s not actually in contention now. Never mind.
I think you’ve already passed that threshold Joe.
He’s already lost both. Cruel for no family or friends to take him out.
Bloomberg and Bernie are having problems with early dementia and it will expand exponentially. Watch them closely when on TV with closeups, their initial delays making a response to a question or statement. It is easy to see the momentary delay with thought processes. Few years ago the delay was not noticeable.
Nothing exudes confidence like someone who proclaims that he just might not be able to cut it....
That means he should rule out a first term.

Hey Joe...we know where you are....but do YOU know where you are?
Can’t lose what was never there in the first place.
IF????????????????????????????????????????????????
So, below zero?
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already wearing a diaper.
Very good observations.
Me, either.
No worries, Joe!
You have already lost so much‘Energy And Mental Acuity’ that you won’t win a first term!
That supposedly comforting statement means he already has.
