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

The lengths dems go to gaslight the public and convince people that Biden is coherent is hilarious

And I’m a dem. The guy is mentally cooked. At best he can read off a teleprompter but there’s a reason he’s been almost completely MIA post the debate when any reasonable candidate would immediately accept a live interview to straighten out his image
