    All sounds based on emotion to me.

    See comment #8.

    Yes, I know the signs of dementia quite well, having watched it manifest in my own mother, plus two close friends currently going down that very scary road.

    Sorry, but for a diagnosis of Alzheimer's or any type of dementia, proof is required, because we see what we want to see. You see dementia, I see a man who had a stammer as a child and still struggles with that.

    I'm not the one trying to fool anyone. I'm simply pointing out facts, which you've predetermined to ignore.

    In the age of information, ignorance is a choice. Untill there is actual medical proof that Biden has dementia, and not just desperate conjecture from Trump supporters, Biden is simply a man who overcame a childhood malady that nevertheless still shows up now and then.

    In fairness, you should watch a video or two of Trump 25 to 30 years ago and compare with his oratory abilities today. He isn't half as articulate now as he was then, regardless of the topic. And yet, I'm not assuming dementia in his case, because there is no proof other than what one can observe, and that's just opinion, not fact.

    And the assumption that Biden is demented, that's not emotional? It certainly isn't based on facts.

    Idk about the emotional content of these other things yall are talking about, but pointing out something is up with Biden is not emotion. Dude has some pretty obvious mental issues.

    How are those internal poll numbers that only you can see looking these days?

    While I can agree with the basics here- when someone is running for president, the benefit of the doubt should not apply. Biden has a history of major issues, and I think around 10 years back he stopped revealing anything about his medical history or conditions.

    Demented? That might be an opinion.. but he definitely is suffering from cognitive decline, that's so obvious that it shouldn't even be debatable.

    Obvious mental issues.. why do they dance around that?

    no you were ignoring facts perhaps you are in denial.
    you're only fooling yourself
    It's because there's not enough evidence. there is with Biden and if you don't acknowledge that you're only lying to yourself.

    You can complained that there's no definitive proof until time stops. But the writing's on the wall.

    Got a link? What history? Please describe a "major issue." I sincerely do not know what you're talking about, so if you're claiming he has major medical problems, please provide proof beyond just your observation.

    In contrast to that, I urge you to compare Trump 25 to 30 years ago with Trump today. He isn't nearly as articulate as he used to be, and struggles for words regularly, getting them quite wrong often. Is he, too, suffering from dementia? I could easily make that claim, but I prefer to base my opinion on proven facts when the issue is that sensitive and personal.

    And if you're going to accuse Biden of hiding his medical records, turn that around and ask why Trump's state of health is only commented upon by doctors who are either supporters, or are too intimidated or afraid of being fired to be very forthcoming. Or do you actually believe he has no health issues?

    If Biden wins the election, he will receive the same thorough physical exam as all presidents. I'm guessing that Trump supporters and the alt-right will generate all manner of conspiracy theories at that time, just as the left question Trump's health. Really, the man rarely touches anything remotely resembling a vegetable unless you count the iceberg lettuce on his Big Mac. His bad eating habits are no secret, he even brags about it, so based on observation of that and his excess weight, it would be easy to conclude that he is not healthy.

    Do you see how easy it is to posit unsubstantiated rumors as verifiable facts?

    On the contrary, there's nothing obvious about it. He had a stammer as a child, it still manifests itself in his stumbling for words now and then.

    See #167. Get back to me when you can prove your claim. Until then, it's right wing spin, nothing more.

    Please list these facts you claim I'm ignoring. Then see comment #167.

    You have no facts, just unproven rumor based on right wingers seeing what they want to see.

    I'm scratching my memory banks for your 'five times'. Okay, I recall that:

    Reagan ran for president three times.

    Biden ran for President two times, in 1988 and 2008., this is his third attempt, Reagan won on his third attempt.

    So, if biden ran for president more than three times, help me out. I just don't remember it.

    My bad, I got it wrong but to be fair he's been in the public eye for 40+ years so it's not too surprising that I gave him more attempts then to give credit for.

    Reagan was also in the public's eye for 40 + years.

    Just put a little more thought in your comments, 'cause there's always some old fart in the audience whose memory of events might not square with your imagination.

    See how easy it is to deny what you don't want to look up? Not unsubstantiated, easy to find.

    Biden has had two brain aneurysms, one repaired in open-head surgery in 1988. He has a history of melanoma cancer, having had several surgically removed. While melanoma is readily cured in most cases if diagnosed early, is fatal if it is not. A person in whom it re-occurs does have an ongoing risk that in that if it ever metastasizes (one cell leaves the tumor boundaries) before it's found and removed.... As my doctor told me, if that happens it will attach to major organs, your brain, your spine, your adrenal glands- and you are dead. I know because I've had it and was lucky- and mine was found really early by accident, or I would be dead; and I've been fortunate to not have the re-occurences. Biden has a condition which produces an irregular heartbeat, (nonvalvular atrial fibrillation) stays medicated for acid reflux, high cholesterol, had a blood clot lodged in his lung, his gall bladder removed, has swelling of the prostrate and had a sudden blood vessel burst in the eye during a town hall event on CNN a year back. The eye thing itself wasn't a threat- just a sign of other issues.

    One of President Obama's former doctors reportedly disputed a letter released by Biden's campaign in which the former vice president's own doctor praised the 77-year-old presidential candidate as a "healthy, vigorous" man. “He’s not a healthy guy,” said Dr. David Scheiner, who previously served as Obama's physician. According to the Washington Examiner, Scheiner read Biden's medical history and said the presidential candidate "has a lot of issues."

    Just google "Biden health problems" and you will find an array of things. No one is accumulating a comprehensive list, but the multitude of items readily found stack up to say Biden has major health risks in the future as well as important conditions existing right now, and an extensive past history of them. His age alone would be sufficient to bypass him as a candidate. The job is one of the most stressful in the world- and it's 24/7. It requires energy, endurance, quick and accurate mental processes, recall and decisive reactions and decisions. Biden would be 78 at inauguration. I'm 78, (Joe's age) and I've lead a very intense life style, with no issues other than the one incident with melanoma. I take one medication, which easily controls marginal blood pressure. I know exactly what the toll of age does, and I know that despite my doctor telling me I am a robust and healthy man for my age- there would be no way in hell I could keep up with the pace and demands of such a position. Age isn't a disease, it's the natural process of change that reduces your capacities, and nobody is exempt, including Joe Biden. It's why boxers and baseball players and others in positions that demand physical performance as well as skills don't grow old in their jobs.

    Joe simply is no longer physically fit for the job. But if you actually want to know for yourself, it's easy to confirm. Just run the search.
    Actually, I don't think the DNC cares aabout Joe's long-term issues. I think they hope to win with Biden- then find a way to remove and replace him.
    That's just my opinion, not anything documented from elsewhere. It's the scenario that fits the elements of the puzzle.
