    Ehhh go look at some clips of Trump in 2015-16 and compare to now. He’s lost so much energy and he’s much less coherent now than he was then. Granted his speech style was rambly and disjointed back then too, but it’s gotten so much worse after 8 years

      I’m not really debating that he’s old and he’s lost a lot, I am questioning the comparison between the reaction Biden received and the reaction Trump receives. I don’t think it’s hypocrisy. I think the difference between them is stark.

      I was one of the people who was concerned when Biden was our candidate and I was so glad when he stepped aside and Kamala became our candidate. Biden was like an Alzheimer’s patient who had wandered away from home. I don’t mean that lightly; I’m not joking. He obviously has something very serious going on.

      I hope I don’t hurt anyone by bringing up that disease. My grandmother died of dementia, and it’s horrible. I don’t throw the term around lightly.
