It's called watching the clock and getting flustered trying to not run over time.
It's always fun when people suddenly forget that Biden has a stutter. I'm not even 40 and, perfectly healthy, sometimes can't finish a fucking sentence and just move on to the next point. The only reason people don't say I have dementia is because I don't look old enough to hurl the accusation.
How many stuttering acting presidents do you remember?
Also Biden isn't just having a stutter. It was clear he lost his train of thought multiple times, like destroying medicaid, constantly mixing thousands, millions, billions and trillions or his talk about abortion trimesters.
This sounded like they gave him elaborate sentences to remember beforehand and he butchered them all, because of not learning them by heart and not fully grasping what they actually mean.
Meanwhile Trump was just doing Trump and Biden came wholly unprepared for that. Repeating what Trump said with "the idea that ... is ridiculous" is just repeating what he said, further giving it agency. How could they be unprepared for Trump being Trump after 8 years of him already?
Sounds like you've never socialized with others who have a stutter. Instead of understanding how different mental/physical impairments affect people, you'd rather just make assumptions and baseless claims that confirm your own biases. Biden's stutter is a well documented ailment that has affected him, in similar ways, for a long time - we just got to see it when he was clearly under the weather.
You can factually disagree with Biden's policies, but to create this elaborate scenario out of whole cloth and purposely ignore Trump's own verbal missteps just tells all of us all we need to know about why you commented.
What are you talking about? There is certain demands to the health, to the intelligence, to the eloquence and charisma of a president. Biden showed little of it in the debate.
If he has a stutter, which i don't remember seeing in press conferences a few years back, then it got much worse on the one hand and the strategy for what to say and what not to say on the other hand failed tremendously.
I know one thing about stutters though. How strongly it shows is often directly related to how nervous, scared, agitated or stressed someone is. If Biden is emotionally troubled with dealing with Trump like this, to make his stutter show this extremely, then i don't want him to be in a room with leaders like Putin or Xi, who will just eat him alive.
It showed that Biden is an old men with declining physical and mental health. Anyone watching him in this debate and the many occasions in the last year where he was blitzed out, recognizes that.
Biden is unfit for office. Trump is unfit for office. Anyone riding the Biden train now and blocking the pulling of the emergency brakes is riding this train into the abyss. And that is what helps Trump and the Reps the most.
