I agree with Biden negative zero percent. I don't like him, never have

That being said...What's going on with him is legit elder abuse.

He's not there. He's a Muppet. Instead of doing the Hannity and Levin and Borgino narrative of focusing on Biden, anyone in their right and moral mind would be going after the absolute fucksticks that are using a man with full on dementia for their personal and political gain.

And let's look on the upside here.

This paves the way beautifully for Michelle Obama.

Now do the Republican's switch. I'd love to see anything other than a repeat of 2020.

Stupid/suicide to not run an incumbent. But yeah, it will be interesting who both parties will push for 2028.

We got two incumbents. Usually an incumbent gets a sizable lead over the newcomer with Carter being the major exception and Bush I and Trump being simple exceptions.
The best way for a less popular incumbent to beat a slightly more popular one is to remove the incumbency advantage.
Trump must be portrayed as a criminal (not hard at all) while the best bet to beat Biden is to convince Democrats to remove him from the ticket and run a non-incumbent.

I'd argue Biden is much further gone cognitively than Reagan is. Reagan was still effective at giving speeches (without teleprompter) when he left office. Biden struggles even with a teleprompter to actually give a speech.

There are times when he's clearly very confused about where he is and who people in front of him are with the "elder" confusion writ large on his face.

Let's face it, if you're worried about Biden's noggin, then you should be worried about Trump's too.

See how evenly applying standards works?

Knowing what we know now about the disease, one can view Reagan's debate with Mondale in Oct 7, 1984 and see he was suffering from Alzheimer's even then.

I will also contend that Reagan was an actor. Period. He had really good handlers in Daddy Bush (who was, let's face it, the real President for the Reagan years.). A lot of old fuckers who have Alzheimer's remember shit from the far gone past, vs the current. This is why you'll hear people state...Oh, gammy or paw paw is smart as a tack! They still remember where their dog died in 1943! That's one of the worst aspects of the disease. It tricks loved ones into thinking mush head is still there. They aren't.

Reagan was a Muppet. He just retained enough to zing out one liners, and hokie folksy stuff to the rubes that were his base.

Who said I wasn't?

I think I've said at least once both of them are too damn old to be President. It's a high tempo job, not one for old fucks that shit their pants on the regular.

Probably all true. Then again, all politicians are actors. As they say, politics is show business for ugly people.
