I was truly curious what the Republicans would dig up to smear him. And when people in my circles started parroting the "dementia" diagnosis, I couldn't quite figure out, how Biden was trusted and "elected" 2x as Vice President. I mean he was our Vice President for 8 years!!
What more could there be? How could you be OK with him for 8yrs then suddenly he's no good? Obviously the guy was more than vetted, more experience etc. I can't wrap my head around it. My only saving grace is "they" couldn't come up with anything more than
memory loss, and something his son, who is fully grown lives his own life, may have done fairly recently. Honestly if someone came knocking on my door to address something my grown child had done, and they expected me to account for it?? Short of murder, not my
problem!

I meant, Democrats that I know, questioned his worth as a candidate. Like, what? It was only 4 short years ago. Hello!!??

(52,438 posts)in terms of the general, we're comparing biden to a certifiable lunatic, so any vague suspicion of mental decline is nothing compared to the nutcase donnie is.

Unlike most of us, they do not feel any shame when they tell transparent lies or insist that absurdities are perfectly reasonable.
If something is likely to help Trump or hurt his opposition, they consider it "fair" and "right".
These are actually Democrats I'm referring to questioning if they "could" vote for Biden

(145,794 posts)I never understood the dementia attacks. Joe is a very nice man in person. I was taking a selfie with him and he took my iphone from me and did a better job than I could do.
I believe that many of these dementia attacks were disquised attacks on Joe's stutter.

(537 posts)Having said that I have/had complete faith in Biden. There is no part of me that would vote any other way. My livelihood requires it.
I was just confused as to how this goes from A-OK Vice President to someone Democrats couldn't support. Bewildering
