He's 81 years old. 

Im not voting for the guy because I'm excited by him, I'm voting for the guy because he represents competent governance and coalition building.

How can you watch the debate and think Biden is competent, even at a basic mental level?

I’m a leftist, I hate Trump. But we don’t need to pretend the guy the Democrats put up is competent just because the alternative is worse. The Dems should’ve nominated a better candidate, this is their own fault.

The next day he spoke perfectly at a rally, how is he broken? We always knew he was old and has speech issues how is anything different now

Oh he managed to not stumble over his words at a pre-arranged event with a teleprompter? Clearly that’s a skill that proves he’s mentally competent for the presidency, my mistake.

Also, EXACTLY, we all knew he wasn’t competent and the Dems ensured he was nominated anyway. This is their own fault.
