    but guys, he’s doing the weave! English professors in his circle, and there are definitely multiple English professors he knows, all say that the way he speaks is brilliant.

      He was never in remotely good mental health, but he’s gone from “in the deep end of a pool, and he can’t swim” to “In the middle of the Pacific Ocean (in an electric boat, and there’s a shark nearby)” with how quickly he’s declining

          Agreed! There’s LITERALLY No Correlation between Biden dropping out and Democrats talking about his Mental Capacity. LITERALLY no Correlation!

            Biden dropped out because the DONOR class demanded it with threats of withholding money if he didn’t. The average voter had zero impact on that decision.

              Yeah probably part of it. Donors who are Democrat, who knew the majority of Democrat voters didn’t want Biden. Democrats were calling for Biden to step down, while we aren’t seeing the same level of demand from the Republicans for Trump to step down due to declining mental health

            Democrats defended him tooth and nail. They spit out venomous accusations at anyone critical of him. They buried their head in the sand over the last several years about his cognitive decline by demanding it was a speech impediment, which was NEVER present in any of his speeches prior to 2008

                Criticizing is irrelevant when they won’t hold them accountable. For all intents Biden could have said ‘I could kill 30,000 Palestinian children and not lose a single voter.’

              ‘Democrats’ aren’t a monolith, there was a constant desire for change among many democratic supporters. I’m Canadian and even up here there was a desire to replace him with someone better.

                Speaking about wanting change and then still voting for them when the time came makes that speech irrelevant. If they never hold their politicians accountable things will never get better.

                  I think you missed my country of origin there, bud.

                  Also you’re just bait and switching here, your original point was that ‘the democrats’ fought for him tooth and nail, and yet the entire time people from all over the tent of the Left were demanding he be replaced and then… he was.

                  You’re embarrassing yourself here, just take the L and focus back on using whataboutism anytime someone chooses to back a right-of-centre candidate over a fascist one.

    If even Trump supporters start noticing that he is spewing nonsense, it must have become seriously bad. They tended to overlook quite some of his brain-dead output so far, I thought they had become immune to senseless drivel.

      Honestly, it won’t make a difference. The people who have decided to be Trump supporters are going to stick with him through it all. They think any criticism is either a hoax or a conspiracy to get him down. I have family members who are completely wrapped up in this guy. They believe anything he says and would do anything he says. Literally anything. It’s pretty scary to be honest.

        I saw plenty of Democrats holding their nose to vote for Biden, while being very vocal about his age and cognition. I don’t see any criticism about Trump from his base. They shun any Republican politician who speaks out against him, so all we get is softballs from those not up for re-election again.

        I mean, why do you think Biden stepped down? It was pressure from voters, pressure from donors, and pressure from a ton of elected democrats. Where is that pressure on Trump?

        Difference is that a good number of Dem voters saw Biden’s issues and understood it’s a choice between those issues and a fascist that’ll deal the death blow to the moribund US democracy. Trump voters are just cooked.

        You get one - there isn’t a third option, and abstaining is a win for the fascists.

          I think you meant to comment on OP’s post. If you ask me, I’d say he rather belongs in jail. Given the countless serious cases that have been and are being brought against him, it’s inexplicable to me that he managed to get around jail time - and is even a presidential candidate instead.
