Doc: Dem frontrunner definitely doesn't have brain damage
Something is happening behind the scenes within the Democratic Party. Former Vice President Joe Biden remains the prohibitive favorite to win the nomination, even as he continues to commit word gaffes with his mouth.
Many still consider Biden to be the most "electable" candidate, but some Democrats, including some of his own aides and supporters, are beginning to express doubts about the 76-year-old's intellectual capacity.
It would appear that the Democratic establishment, in its desperation to prevent Bernie Sanders from winning the nomination, is keen to develop a contingency plan in case Biden falters.
Team Biden is on the defensive, and has even wheeled out the former Veep's brain surgeon to reassure skeptics that he's totally fine and definitely doesn't have brain damage. It's not the most reassuring claim to have to make about a presidential candidate, but here we are. Politico reports:
The two brain aneurysms Biden suffered in 1988 were fully treated and he showed no signs of mental trouble as a result, said Dr. Neal Kassell, who performed the surgery on Biden three decades ago. Nor did Biden suffer any brain damage that could come back to haunt him in old age, Kassell said.
"He is every bit as sharp as he was 31 years ago. I haven’t seen any change," Kassell said. "I can tell you with absolute certainty that he had no brain damage, either from the hemorrhage or from the operations that he had. There was no damage whatsoever."
Kassell went on to say that he planned to vote for "the candidate who I am absolutely certain has a brain that is functioning. And that narrows it down exactly to one." It is assumed, but not entirely clear, that he was referring to Biden.
Nevertheless, Biden allies remain wary and are said to be considering a scaled-back campaign schedule in an effort to limit the candidate's gaffes, which risk undermining his new campaign slogan about the country's need for "strong, steady, stable leadership."

Seriously
“He is every bit as sharp as he was 31 years ago. I haven’t seen any change,” Kassell said.
Yep, he’s always been an idiot.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
Even his doctor commits unwitting gaffes.
“Kassell went on to say that he planned to vote for “the candidate who I am absolutely certain has a brain that is functioning.”
He keeps that one in a jar? Does it talk to him? Where’d he get it?
Biden’s new slogan is he’s “strong, steady, and stable”
Exactly what a feller wants in a mule.
LOL!
LOL.
5.56mm
Seriously, with no joking at all. Someone with Joe’s mental capacity is what the deep state wants. It’s why they were so gung ho for Hillary in ‘16. They need a figurehead to read a teleprompter and look good in a suit, or pant suit, while they really run thing. Trump doesn’t do any of that, and he won’t let them run anything, because he knows a rat when he smells one. They will probably kill him, and then go to work on Pence. But first they’re hoping a nice, pliable Dem like Joe wins the election in 2020, so they don’t have to kill anyone. Bad for business.
I kept skipping this story because I thought it was just satire.
My brain functions, but that doesn’t mean it functions well.
_____________
..... barely.
functioning like a mental patient
WOW what a glowing medical review by the good Doc..his brain is functioning LOL so are people in medically induced comas we dont put them in the White House..oh and finding out that MLK Jr was killed in the 70s was quite the shock
Yeah, technically this means Slow Joe could range anywhere from almost brain dead, to Einstein level. I have a feeling he would lie on the left side of the curve...
Yea it’s very lucid! Or liquid?
Fake news, for sure!
Nothing like patient confidentiality......
“‘Has a Brain That Is Functioning’”
Sounds like the old line when selling a car that hasn’t run in years: “It ran when I parked it”.
Joke less Joe the Joker...
The DNC will let him rake in some money then go away.
Slow Joe will never be their candidate, what they are deciding is who will they waste, ala Mondale.
