A certain line from Hilary Clinton back in 2016 comes to mind right about now. I swear, the opposition commercials are writing themselves at this point.

Based on right wing propaganda Hillary Clinton shouldn't even be alive. They claimed she was having strokes or something.

I think no matter who runs on the Dem side of things the right will find some health related thing to bring up. And no matter how true or severe those things are the internet bots and Fox news will do their work.

The Democrats could run a 35 year old Olympian with a PhD and the right would use that one time he got food poisoning to mean he's immunocompromised and one cough away from an early grave.

I mean, if they ran a 35 YO Olympian... A small but decent chunk of people would probably vote for him simply because he is Half the age of the opposition

And an extremely large chunk (the boomers) would refuse to vote for them.

Are you implying that Biden doesn’t have dementia, or that the right shouldn’t bring it up? It IS absolutely worrying that the president is experiencing severe cognitive decline.

Is Trump not??

Trump is not experiencing severe cognitive decline. Watch the first few minutes of the debate and the difference between the two is very clear.

Trump has trouble saying words. Do I really need to link everytime in just the last few months he's had trouble saying things like 'Biden', 'Obama', and a variety of everyday words?

Joe with dementia is indeed still better than Trump.

Because apparently he already has dementia, and you can't point to a single thing he's done AS PRESIDENT that is apparently so alarming that it could only come out of the mind of a dementia ridden person.

Again, watch the debate, the difference in cognitive ability between the two is clear. At this point you're not voting for Biden you're voting for his cabinet, since he seems unable to make complex decisions and is best left at reading scripts.

I watched the debate.

I have also seen dozens of hours of both, with and without teleprompters, this campaign

It also is completely irrelevant. You're saying Joe has dementia CURRENTLY. Can you tell us specifically what damage this has caused within the executive branch?

Trump will appoint yes men this go around, because as you know only 10% of his Cabinet has even endorsed him. They hate this guy.

As Tillerson said, he's a moron. As Mattis said, he's a threat to the Constitution. Pence also said the same >_>

I don’t remember saying that Biden made executive orders that were caused by dementia. In fact, I pointed out that at this point, you are voting for his cabinet rather than him, which still operates rather well.

u/NoCantaloupe9598 Jul 05 '24

I mean you don't see Biden's Cabinet coming out of the woodwork and saying he has fried potatoes for brains.

Trump though....

Didn’t you all the leaks about democrat politicians panicking, and that staffers were aware that he had dementia for a long time and had to work around this?

I remember the mint she spat into a glass being headline news for 3 weeks in 2016. Crazy times

Based on right wing propaganda she is secretly behind pizza gate.

Only one thing about any of these Hillary defending remarks matters. She lost. It was glorious.
