Dr. Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician to Presidents Obama and Trump is speaking out about his impression of Joe Biden's physical and mental fitness for office.
"The best way I can describe every time I see him is that he's just lost," Jackson said.
"I won't make any particular diagnosis about dementia ... but what I will say is that something is not right," continued the doctor, who just won a GOP congressional primary in Texas.
Asked whether he's comfortable with the idea of Biden assuming the top executive position in the country, Jackson said, "I'm not."
Jackson stresses that he hasn't personally reviewed Biden's medical records, but has witnessed the changes to the former vice president up-close, over time.
"I saw him frequently around the West Wing and other places like that. I know he's always been prone to gaffes, but these aren't gaffes anymore. He can't form sentences. Sometimes, he can't complete a thought," said Jackson, whose full comments are available in Donald Trump Jr.'s upcoming book, "Liberal Privilege: Joe Biden and the Democrats' Defense of the Indefensible."
In December, Biden's doctors released a statement saying the 77 year old is in good health. However, the subject of the former vice president's mental fitness was a topic of discussion throughout the primary campaign and during the past few months, which Biden has largely spent at his home in Delaware, away from the grueling campaign schedule that a pre-pandemic election would have demanded of him.

You don’t have to be a doctor. It’s obvious to anyone.
Joe’s brain is fried. He is nowhere close to being up to the task. All I can do is feel sorry for him and wonder what kind of scumbags pushed him into the race this far.
Setting up “The Switch”.
What’s the last day to have the names set for the Ballots?
Actually, I did lots of process improvements to Cardiac Ablation products at the Company I worked for.

The thing is, I don’t trust any doctor as a go-to for Mr. Biden’s problems as much as I trust Brit Hume, of all people. Hume openly acknowledged on TV he’s starting to have more serious memory problems in his old age, although to me, he still seems quite sharp. So he is more able to assess Biden’s condition from a personal standpoint, and he thinks it’s serious.
Most likely our new congressman. TX13
....Should be unless he has some major catastrophe
Got it. Thanks.
A quick question: What about the states and their cut-off dates for placement on the ballot?
States issue the ballots and determine dates to be placed on the ballot. I pray that republican states will insist that in each state the cut-off date is inviolate.. .hopefully the states with republican “leaders” will insist on the cut-off dates and Biden can’t be replaced even if no one can deny he is loony. Of course, the loony SCOTUS will make law and make states accept any candidate at any time (perhaps even after the election).
I can only hope the rule of law reigns supreme. . .but given dems don’t believe in law. . .who knows.
I will NEVER feel sorry for Plugs Biden, he is an evil, dishonest and corrupt man! He deserves no sympathy, no pity.
Each state, I believe, sets that date. . .in a dem state, that date means nothing and will change at a moments notice. In a republican state, I fear, the republicans will cave to the dem mob and change the date.
“Mulligan strategy”
Excellent analogy!
Your Post perfectly sets up the drafting of Moochie Obozo to be Biden’s replacement.
Everyone can see it. Joe has dementia.
Promoting him to normal people is an insult to their intelligence.
Very few people will be voting Democrat this year. They will either sit at home or vote Trump.
I don't think this has ever been fully resolved, but there are state precedents, like them or not.
In New Jersey:
Robert Torricelli dropped out of the Senate race when he was losing badly to his Republican opponent. Absentee ballots had already been mailed out and voting was in progress. New Jersey Democrats sued to have Torricelli replaced on the ballot by former Senator Frank Lautenberg, on the grounds that "the voters deserved a competitive election," ignoring the fact that the voters HAD a competitive election and were rejecting the Democrat.
The NJ Supreme Court allowed Torricelli to be replaced, and ordered that new absentee ballots be sent out in a different color to differentiate from the original ballots. SCOTUS declined to hear the case, because they were still stinging from the Bush v Gore case and didn't want to be accused by Democrats of tampering with this election.
In Hawaii:
Simultaneously with the Torricelli election, Representative Patsy Mink died over a month before the election. Because she was so popular, Democrats insisted that her name remain on the ballot and if she won then a special election should be called to fill the vacancy. This was the opposite argument than with Torricelli, who would lose.
The courts allowed Mink to remain on the ballot and count her votes.
In Missouri:
Mel Carnahan died in a place crash a few weeks before the election. The Governor declared that if Carnahan's name won the election, he would appoint his wife to fill the vacancy. Republicans argued that the Constitution requires that the candidate must be a resident of the state, and a deceased person is no longer a resident, making a vote for Carnahan an invalid vote.
It didn't matter. Carnahan's name won and the Governor appointed his wife Jean to the seat. The Republican candidate, John Ashcroft, chose not to contest the election, and for his reward Jean Carnahan voted to reject him for Attorney General in the Bush administration.
So, the bottom line is that history shows a deadline won't matter, and whatever solution the Democrats want is what will happen.

Uh oh...slojo is on the way out...surprise surprise....hellary rubbing her hands in glee...
Joe is worst than that. He is the hollow man, empty; no basic beliefs, no principles, no self insight. I am surprised he has a reflection in a mirror.
I've said for months that I don't believe Obama wants it.
I tell people that there really is no reason for the Obamas to want to go back into government, with all the financial disclosures and blind trusts that are involved.They won the game, they're on track to be 9-figure millionaires, the old team is being reassembled on the board of directors of Netflix, they have luxury mansions in the most upscale of places.
Why spend the effort to acquire all that, just to throw it away by becoming a prisoner of the White House for another four years of constant scrutiny and high expectations?
Here's my theory that I posted yesterday,
if Biden holds on and wins:
Why Kamala Harris? Who wants Harris? What could they want since they're getting California anyway?How about if Harris nominates Hillary Clinton to be her VP after she vacates the office? If Democrats keep the House, they only need a simple majority in the Senate to get Hillary confirmed, if Republicans hold the Senate.
That means Romney will vote for Clinton, Graham will vote for Clinton, and if it looks like she will win then the rest of them will jump on the bandwagon, too.
So, nominating Kamala Harris for Biden's VP is about getting Hillary Clinton into the White House, even if it's in the second chair. At that point, it's "watch out Kammy!"
It might be the Democrats' best ploy to keep Biden and run him to the end. If he loses, only Harris is tainted by the loss. If he's replaced and the replacement loses, that person can forget about 2024.

The best and it found its way into a riveting column:

I may be mistaken, but my gut tells me that Jill Biden is real close the top of those pushing him. And I think the “proof” if you will, is that with all the signs of his failing WE ALL can SEE; SHE hasn’t jumped up and said, “STOP, ENOUGH, you’re not putting my husband through any more of this”! In fact, every indication I’ve seen shows her cracking the whip and forcing the old schlub to hobble on.
