Biden elderly man with poor memory according to Special Counsel

[Merrill]

The Biden/Trump debates in 2020 were embarrassing for Trump.
Trump skipped all the Republican primary debates this year.

I would be surprised if Trump were able to present himself and make coherent policy arguments in a debate with Biden.
I certainly will tune in if these two have any debates. We will all see for ourselves how it goes.

Biden can't debate

I mean, he literally, cannot physically debate.

And if he tries, it will be a horror show

Biden attacked Hur for asking him when Beau died. That didn't happen, sources say.

The president raised his son’s death after being asked about his workflow at a Virginia rental home, where he said he found classified materials, two sources said.

Did you watch the debates between Trump and Biden in the run up to the last election?

 

[stevil]

Joe can’t do what he did in 2020 anymore. Your assessment of Trump sounds like wishful thinking.

I have no horse in the race. I'm just going by past events, I am not clairvoyant.

 

[BPPLEE]

Did you watch the debates between Trump and Biden in the run up to the last election?

Yes, Biden has deteriorated significantly since then.

 

[RileyG]

It's their choice.

Yes. That's true. I don't think that's necessarily fair for the people they are representing, but we, collectively, are the ones who voted for them.

I did

Biden has declined dramatically since then.

The right wing were saying Biden was cognitively impared before those debates back then, then Biden came through and looked normal where as Trump came across very poorly.
Right wing kept on going with their cognitive imparment narrative and then Biden did an amazing State of Union address. Then Right wing started complainnig about use of teleprompters.

This narrative has been ongoing for years, backed up by Fox news opinion "entertainers" and sky news australia cherry picking and image doctoring etc.

Anyway, we will all get to watch for ourselves the debates (if they happen), and so, no need to predict.

[lismore]

He has done some good things recently. He got onto President Sisi of Mexico. Got him to open the gates.

 

[A2SG]

Biden can’t make it through a oress conference without embarrassing himself. A debate would be a disaster for him.

I dunno....maybe, maybe not. Still, he'd be up against Trump....who can't help but embarrass himself every time he opens his mouth. But seems wholly incapable of realizing it, so he just doubles down again and again.

So, like I said, it will be entertaining.

-- A2SG, still, if he's being compared to Trump, Biden can't help but come out looking saner and more lucid.....

I just now caught Jon Stewart back at The Daily Show

I think we all share the pain.

Biden can't debate

He rather handily took down Trump in a series of debates.

Biden has declined dramatically since then.

Republicans admitted that Biden outsmarted McCarthy in their negotiations last year. And you'll have to admit that McCarthy is a lot smarter than Donald Trump.

Trump, on the other hand...

Trump's cognitive deficits seem worse. We need to know if he has dementia​

Memory loss is the symptom most closely associated with Alzheimer’s. While Trump famously forgets the names of people (as he did recently when he called Apple CEO Tim Cook “Tim Apple”) and places (as when he called Paradise, California, “Pleasure”), one could make allowances for such gaffes. More troubling, Michael Wolff reported in "Fire and Fury" that at the end of 2017, Trump failed to recognize "a succession of old friends" at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump, 72, seemed to hit a new inflection point last week when he said, “My father is German. Right? Was German. And born in a very wonderful place in Germany.” In fact, his father was born in the Bronx and it was his grandfather who was from Germany.

Dementia Care International says a "person may start to mix up relationships and generations” in the second stage of dementia.

We see signs that the president's abilities are declining, but the only way to find out for sure is to give him a full neuropsychological evaluation.

He's on a winning roll right now. Why wouldn't he?

Let’s hope he does agree to a debate.

Let’s hope he does agree to a debate.

Between the two of them, it could be the most cringeworthy presidential debate ever.

It would be entertaining. Trump is more confused and much crazier in his outbursts than he was four years ago. Biden is much better at getting under his skin now, and Trump lacks the self-discipline and cognitive ability to deal with it.

And so it goes with elders. You people harping on this should round all the elders up and exterminate them, they're no good for anything as they're the only ones with memory loss. I pity you when you get old.

The worst of it is knowing exactly what you're thinking about, but being unable to recall the precise word for it. Thank God for etymology; it's a way to get around that issue.

Ask Kevin McCarthy about that. Before his meeting, he joked about bringing "soft food" for Biden. After Biden outsmarted him, he lost his job.

On the same night that late night talk show host Seth Meyers claimed Trump forgot his wife's name and called her Mercedes. Something that was debunked by Snopes:

"These claims are false, because they omit obvious context indicating that the former president was referring to a Mercedes Schlapp. Among other connections, Schlapp served in the Trump Administration as White House director of strategic communications."

No, Trump Did Not Refer To His Wife Melania as 'Mercedes' at CPAC 2024

A clip from the former president's speech at CPAC provided fodder for late night television, but was stripped of relevant context.

www.snopes.com

Biden said this:

Seth Meyers: "What's your 2024 agenda? Because I feel like we live in such crazy times that that is one of the things I feel we hear less about."

Biden: "Look, the 2020 agenda is to finish the job."

(Timestamp 1:46-1:55)

This was a failed attempt at making Trump look bad and Biden look good. Even with the left wing media behind him trying to prop him up, Biden still manages to demonstrate why he is a bad choice.
