    Although Biden did reasonably well at the press conference and the NATO confab, there''s no question he's not as sharp as he was just two years ago, and the pace of decline seems to be increasing. Thinking what. President Biden may be like in 2027 is very concerning. I won't be satisfied unless he has a thorough evaluation by truly disinterested experts. His excuses for not getting one are pretty stupid. I suspect he may have had one but won't disclose it for obvious reasons.
    What on earth would such an evaluation prove?

      That Grandpa Joe is indeed not fit for a cashier job at Home Depot... not to mention POTUS.

        It would provide an objective determination that Biden should withdraw from the race.

          He should withdraw from the race because he is so old he has lost the confidence of the american voting public and trump is going to kick his ass. You think the opinion on a neurological expert is going to change that calculus?

            Not at all. I think it would confirm that he should withdraw, and having such a report in the file will cause considerable problems for him and his advisers if he doesn't. It also provides cover for advisers with any integrity to come forward with their belief that he needs to withdraw. Wishful thinking, I concede, but wishes are all I have at this point in the most depressing presidential race of my lifetime.

              I think most, if not all, Dems would fail this kind of test...

                I do not think I'm ready for the victory laps Ted is going to run when either scenario happens: Trump wins (irrespective of what Biden does), or Biden drops out.

                I'm begging you Ted, when the CW starts to migrate rightward, please find more legit links than those from Jack Pobosiec, End Wokeness, etc., etc...

                    OK, but you said:

                    You are expecting an objective outcome from an inherently subjective question. That's not reasonable.

                      Yeah, I think they should give Grandpa Joe a math test... then it could be easily graded objectively. Heck, even make it multiple choice.

                          Not to mention they could turn on the Biden Crime Family as well.

                              • The very fact that people are considering that press conference as a kind of test of fitness for office is very damning.

                                But the reason the movement against him keeps growing is the polls.

                                Americans watched the debate. Only the wonks care about the news conference yesterday.

                                Is the point here to win an election or to win the social media momentum within the Democratic Party?

                                In other words, is the point to remain the nominee or to win the election?

                                I heard Ruy Teixeira say today that Biden trails by 20 percent with working class voters. That's just shocking.

                                He agrees with a point I've made by the way that the college educated radical left has been at least for now liquidated as a political interest. The Brahmin left has disappeared from Europe and the US.

                                So Biden's apologists need to stop it with the BS that the news conference yesterday changed anything.

                                Biden is on course for a blow out loss.

                                There's nothing in the future with potential to provide him uplift. He's just getting older every day.

                                And as the down ballot republicans get more name recognition closer to the election it will hurt the democrat opponents.
                                When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
