    The old man in cognitive decline is backing out of interviews due to "exhaustion."

    So what you're saying is Trump's decline is out in the open?

    Only after it was a forgone conclusion that Biden would lose. So I don’t give dems credit for that. I don’t think trump is as bad cognitively as Biden was this time in 2020.

    I love how keyboard warriors all hold multiple advanced degrees in psychology, gerontology, and neuroscience!

    What we need to do is compare Trump circa 2016 with Trump today. And if Trump has truly lost energy, is tired, rambling with more word salad answers than ever before, then calling Trump's cognitive abilities into question is fair. Because we're not just electing someone for Jan 20, 2025, but for a full four years. And cognitive declines generally accelerate the more we age.

    It was certainly a fair question to ask whether or not Biden was fit to be POTUS in 2027. Shouldn't we be asking the same thing of Trump?

    Republicans know Trump is checked out and are all vying to be the real shadow president behind him while he plays golf every day.

    Joe Biden, even today, knows that Hannibal Lector isn't a real person.

    So if this article is accurate, Trump could win and then Vance could invoke the 25th Amendment shortly after he is sworn in on Jan 20th? Are you sure that is the message you want to be sending to Never-Trump Republicans right now?

    Because he was losing, not because he is senile.

    If it was because he is senile, he would no longer be President.

    Biden was kicked out of office? When did that happen and if so who is currently the President?

    “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

    -Napoleon Bonaparte

    As Kamala Harris campaigns as though she’s playing from behind, doing interviews with Fox News, let Kamala stay at the center of the spotlight. Betting that she implodes when given the spotlight is a fantastic gamble.

    The only scenario Trump should be going out on a limb at this point, is if he believes he does not have the advantage. And it looks like his campaign likes where he is right now. Same is not true for Kamala Harris.

    LOL. Mental gymnastics. Kamala is campaigning as if the race is tight, because it is. Trump is campaigning as if he's a senile old man, because he is.

    I don’t know who has less credibility on this subject;

    You with your slanted analysis, or you, along with the Boston Globe and all the Dwmocrats who denied Biden’s actual word salads, long pauses, walks the wrong way, and angry loud rants after whispers. That’s really a tough call. You denied Biden’s obvious cognitive decline all the way up to the point where it was impossible to do so. Now you want to connect dots that don’t exist to make a fictitious point.

    In order for something to be cancelled it has to be scheduled first. There was no second debate scheduled and Trump declined when an attempt was made to organize and schedule one.

    I agree with your comments about Trump. What’s bizarre is that in the Fox interview Harris would not accept that Biden has had any decline. She still asserts he’s at the top of his game.

    If Biden is still as sharp as ever, why was he replaced? If he is in cognitive decline, why can’t she admit it?

    I think you honestly enjoy calling Trump senile, and if that’s why you’re saying that… it’s a free country. Enjoy.

    But if that’s the Harris Campaign’s gameplan to close… good luck.

    I didn’t hear the interview. But I’m don’t believe her if she said Biden hasn’t declined. I’m not surprised she said it; he chose her as VP and she owes a level of loyalty as a result, but I don’t believe her.

    She did not really answer the question. She just spoke about Biden in general and then said he was not on the ballot.
