His inability to speak is a big part of why he is a terrible candidate. Doesn't matter if it is fair or unfair.
Isn't his inability to speak due to a slight stuttering issue? Not a measure of intelligence. Not sure why it's an issue.
He does have a stutter, but it doesn't matter. Makes him look like he's having mental problems due to his age.
It's better than his ignorance and incompetence validating the fact that he has mental problems. Much ado about nothing.
He’s going to get destroyed in debates where he gets 50% of the time. him and trump getting after it would be so hilarious if it not for how incredibly embarrassing it would be.
This is bs. Being glib or the best orator is certainly a plus for a politician. But unless he is legitimately compromised (and it doesn't appear that he is), I don't care if he dealt or is dealing with a stuttering issue when younger. I also don't care if his immediate off the cuff response is not as sharp as it may have been when he was younger. Life is full of trade-offs. I know plenty of youthful and older world beaters who can talk their way around anything. Doesn't mean they are right. Doesn't mean they have judgment. Joe appears to still have the cognitive ability; it may just take him a little bit longer to get there.
Would he need to be as bad as what happened with Reagan, where he told the same story twice completely unaware of the first time to admit he has dementia? Because it's rather obvious and he's not all that far away from his Reagan moment being in public.
I'd take Biden and his dementia over Bernie breaking the economy in the primary I'd take Biden and his dementia over Trump breaking all the norms in the general. He just has to nominate a competent VP that isn't Kamala and he has my vote.
Different demographic of voters, plus Trump doesn't come off as senile when he speaks. He comes off as a moron, but the average voter is a moron.
And that is entirely the fault of his supporters having extremely low expectations. That's what Trump has successfully done. He's decreased the expectations of a qualified president and now we are clinging our hoped to Joe Biden. Even Sanders has little to no charisma.
Joe does better when he's speaking in a town hall format and not reading off of some speech someone else wrote... He needs to take the same concept and attitude he has in town halls and do that with his general speeches. T_Man
