    there is plenty of videos, where he is stuttering for words, talking about stuff only tangentially related or lashing out at journalists.

    These are all signs of mental decline.

        In this regard they are both symptoms of the same problem. Instead of creating a new generation of leaders and moving on with the world, it is looked in the past, to find people that manage stagnation or reactionary politics moving backwards.

          Biden was chosen on order to avoid the mistakes of Clinton.

          a safe pair of hands that could not be accused of being a communist and could attract swing voters and allow republicans to hold their nose and vote for him.

          At least republican’s would not have a visceral reaction and might happily stay away from the booths.

          They also apply to a huge number of people. I mean mood changes could not be more generic. He also seems to follow conversations fine.

          You’re also ignoring the fact he doesn’t show 4 out of 6 lol

            i wrote

            The fourth and sixth point definetely apply to Biden.

            which means something else than “4 out of 6”

            i expect a president not to starting talking during a press conference, that he thinks one of the reporters is an idiot. That is definetely more than the appropriate mood swing for a president
