President Biden’s cognitive decline is readily apparent and a concern for dozens who have interacted with the 81-year-old commander-in-chief in recent months, according to a shocking report Tuesday.

Some of the more the 45 Republican and Democratic lawmakers and staffers interviewed by the Wall Street Journal described a president who spoke so softly during meetings that participants struggled to understand him, others noted that Biden’s demeanor and grasp of policy details varied by the day and he frequently relied on notes and deferred to aides during conferences.

What happens if he doesn't make it to the convention? Harris & Newsome? And what if later once voting starts, constitutionally and by law what happens between the first vote and election day?

“Not the same person”

That might be an improvement.

Every time someone in the media about the polls showing a just about even race between Trump and Biden I have a need to say “but how much more support will the Replacement Candidate for Joe Biden have if he’s practically taken seriously despite being a totally decrepit victim of dementia?
The new one will have the media narrative as “the new one” “the fresh one” and “What the voters yearned for, a fresh start and not Biden versus Trump.”

Heard a radio soundbite of Biden from just a few years ago. Not slurring. Not mumbling or shouting. Not stopping to figure out what the TelePrompter means.

It was dramatic.

They’re still talking about a virtual convention so that they can get Joe on the Ohio ballot. They seem to be in a rush to lock him in.

I think it gets super awkward if ballots are printed and THEN the Democrats decide to come up with a new candidate.

If the fix is in by the Deep State to betray Biden, it may be via a “surprise” release of damaging info by the FBI in the Hunter trial.

They’re already setting up his withdrawal from the presidential race. These people are so predictable, but this is for the sheeple out there who still have no clue as to Biden’s real health issues.

His aides are throwing shade at him because he has polling, not cognitive problems. They’re afraid he’ll lose. At this stage in 2020, he was ahead of Trump by double digits. Biden’s now level or lightly behind. The final polls overstated Biden’s actual victory margin by 4 points. In other words, the current neck and neck polling means Biden might actually be behind by 4%.

RE: described a president who spoke so softly during meetings that participants struggled to understand him.....

Great line of a presidential candidate speaking softly:
George McGovern in 1972.

“While McGovern said little about his decorated service in World War II, Republicans depicted him as a weak peace activist. At one point, McGovern was forced to defend himself against assertions he had shirked combat.

He’d had enough when a young man at the airport fence in Battle Creek, Mich., taunted that Nixon would clobber him. McGovern leaned in and said quietly: “I’ve got a secret for you. Kiss my ass.” A conservative Senate colleague later told McGovern it was his best line of the campaign.”

I won’t be surprised if he starts losing interest in re-election once the secrets from the Laptop From Hell start to become known. I’m certain the FBI has held onto it for “insurance reasons”.

Biden will not be part of the Nov election. The Democrats know they are in deep trouble and are already grooming a replacement. Joe will either have “an accident” that prevents him from running, a manufactured (injection?) “health” incident, or some other “mysterious” event.
