Again, if you've been around someone who had dementia there's a clear difference between gaffes and getting tongue-tied and declining mental accuity.  Some also become mean, which is something new we've seen from Biden (whereas Trump is the same asshole he's always been) several times now.  There's also the blank stare I've seen several times with Biden where it's like a literal brain freeze.

Trump's not winning any IQ contests, but it's not just right-wingers seeing evidence of mental decline in Biden.

Blah blah blah. I stand by what I said—those giving Biden shit for saying dumb shit completely ignore that Trump says equally dumb shit. Call it dementia, intelligence levels, whatever you want—but they’re both morons  

Also, I spend a lot of time around people with dementia, both within my family and clients at work.

I hope you aren’t equating messing up WW2 for WW1 off the cuff for some of the babbles crap the last few months. If you are then you are grasping at straws here.

Saying something dumb, which Trump did above, is different than completely bumbling over what you are trying to say, going off into complete blank stares, etc.

If you truly do work around dementia patients and were being intellectually honest with yourself, you would see the difference.

Maybe...because Trump does this on a daily basis. I also don't think Trump is on the mental decline. 

I also don't focus on the Biden mental health stuff. I know you have your personal stories and observations. 

Good for you and that is your view. But, I am not one to make a medical judgment about someone when I am not a medical doctor, nor know their own medical history. It seems a stretch. Gaffes are one thing, thinking he has a mental decline is a whole different matter. 

I'll go off of his statements and speeches, which seems hit and miss I will admit. But, so has Trump’s. 

I'm also of the view most voters either don't care or do not think it matters.

BS.  Biden not only says dumb, RACIST, shit all the time, he is also suffering from the onset of dementia.  He is totally incapable of handling the job.

Well you know that Biden had nothing to do with that pick.  

Something will happen at the DNC where she moves in to lead the ticket

Well as the convention is this week, I highly doubt that happens. 

Biden is not dropping out conspiracy heads. It is too late in the game for that to get a replacement on the ballot in states.

Ok Dr. Quacker. I didn't know you were his doctor. 

Ehhh on Kamala. I was kinda hoping for Duckworth, but whatever. 

It may not help or hurt Biden in the end. 

As I said before, Kamala is seriously fake and unlikable.  All Trump has to do is convince a small % of voters in a few key states that they're voting for Kamala.  It's guaranteed Trump is going to say in one of the debates "I really should be debating Kamala....".

And I'm not sure her record as a tough DA is going to excite the base, either.  While poll after poll shows most people, across all segments, don't want to "defund the police", Kamala is going to have to walk what I think is an impossible line.  She won't be a "tough on crime" asset - I think she's already apologized for that in the debates and she's only going to end-up distancing herself from that record further to placate the mob.

Then again, Trump knew Hillary.  Everyone knew her.  He was totally unprepared to attack Kamala today at his presser.  That's par for the course, but it's not going to work on Biden who's generally well-liked and respected.  And it won't work on Kamala because she's not that well known.  He's going to have to actually have specific attacks with merit.  And there's no evidence he's capable of that.

Only if Biden can convince people he's fit to serve the full term.  If Trump can convince voters they're actually electing Kamala I think it's game over.

So far, Biden is it looks like. Polls have been steady since May. 

I kinda think this whole election is referendum on Trump. As long as Biden is just upright, people will vote for him. Trump's failures the last few months may be his undoing.

Ehhh, Trump is basically right where he was in 2016 in polling in key swing states.  The riots are good for him.  Progress on a vaccine is good for him.

But I'll save you the headline if Trump does win "Racist America rejects angry black woman".

It’ll be such a shitshow if Trump wins.
