Joe Biden's mental fitness is the big question of his candidacy. He needs to be asked about it
Washington Examiner ^ | May 18, 2020 | Eddie Scarry

So obvious is former Vice President Joe Biden’s mental decline that even some liberals are admitting that it’s real. Yet they still maintain that it’s no reason not to vote for him.

That’s the argument New York Times columnist Frank Bruni attempted to make Sunday. “There have been moments aplenty when Biden’s stumbles have made me wince — particularly a doozy from a few days ago, when he seemingly confused lost jobs with lost lives and upped the COVID-19 death toll to ‘millions of people,’” he wrote. “But Biden’s bumbling isn’t the defining issue, not even close, and we shouldn’t let Trump use it.”

It’s unclear whom Bruni meant by “we.”

Been around the elderly quite a bit, huh? Me too. Worked in a couple nursing homes over the years. Lost my mother to Alzheimer's fourteen years ago. Yup, Joe's train is going around the bend alright and no, it's not coming back. Looks to me like straight up Alzheimer's. He is at the top of his peak now and it's down hill from here and fast. Very likely he'll have a stroke at some point, that's typically how it goes. I hope he does. I hate Biden. The guy is a bum.

A serious, nonsnarky question.

What good does it do to ask someone suffering from age-related dementia how they plan to handle it?

Most of the time they can’t remember they’ve got it. They are quite literally, the last person to know it affects them.

Been there myself. Lost my mom to Alzheimer’s fourteen years ago, she was a RN. Worked in three nursing homes. You right, Joe’s going down hill, pretty fast too and there is no coming back from it. I’ve no sympathy for him. He’s grifting bum and a sexual pervert.

Totally agree with you. He’s totally being used and doesn’t know it. Check..Bernie, and more importantly Obama. I’ve watched the decline of people with Alzheimer’s. They actually become more truthful with statements..even childlike honesty. Can you imagine how he could lay Obama away? Maybe he’s in his business for a good reason. Maybe if he were to leave the basement, he could have a terrible accident. Dems are in a corner on this one. Enter Mr Virus.

Cuomo & HRC are going to invite "Plugs" to take a tour of NYS nursing homes?

Why ask? Is it necessary at all? Slow Joe has lost what is left of his mind. Letting him go on as he does is pitiful. Just let him go until after the election.

May God bless you and your wife, it’s a horrible affliction and affects everybody who know and love her.

I cannot understand how anyone close to Biden, like his wife can't see his dementia problem.

Dementia problems are an everyday occurrence, and don't surface every week or so, where it could be missed by an occasional visitor.
It is an ongoing DAILY problem, and should be noticed by anyone with them on a regular basis, especially Biden'e wife. -Tom

Biden’s doctor, who said that Biden was a “healthy 78 year old”, for some reason mentioned that Biden had been given ever test except mental function. Wonder why he felt called upon to make that point... In any normal world, the press would have looked into that.

Poor Joe! His wife and son are responsible for letting 0b0z0 use Biden as long as he pleases!

0b0z0 wants to rule through a manikin of his choosing, either by replacing Biden in the convention or forcing Kamala or such manikin as VP and hope that Biden wins!

I believe one can’t have any plans to rule through the manikin VP knowing that the ticket won’t win.

That brings us to Biden’s replacement in the convention by someone who could win. I don’t know who that is. 0b0z0 can’t possibly rule through Clinton, but he needs an equivalent to have a chance against Trump.

I certainly wouldn’t like to be in 0b0z0’s hooves, however, never count the bastard and his antiAmerican army of billionaires out. We’ve got to do our most to prevent what would be the end of the Republic, one way or the other!

Too many people ask “why don’t Biden’s people see what’s happening to him.”. Of course they do, but they also know he’ll be the perfect sock puppet for the Deep State. As for his wife, I’m sure she’ll be well-compensated for her role.

Why worry... until he confuses exterminating rats with democrats and kills millions. Then again, that would be schadenfreude for us and their misfortune.
