To be fair, Biden is not demented. He is showing signs of senility though. Which is why he should step down and allow any well functioning Democrat to take his place. Because if undecided voters considered anything Trump said to be a disqualifying statement, they would not be undecided. And polling in Pennsylvania, they state Democrats really really need to win the Electoral College, is going the wrong way. There's a moment in every presidential campaign season where the polling trend lines diverge and do not come back together. It's usually when the independents/undecideds break for one candidate or another.
But it's also seen when a candidate has a structural issue they cannot fix, or cannot fix in time. Swiftboating for Kerry, Palin as VP for McCain, Binders full of Women for Romney. And now that debate in June for Biden. He's had the scandal recovery period and he hasn't patched it up, instead it's just getting worse. So yes. You cannot let the echo chamber keep you all fuzzy and warm. We don't have to repeat 2016, it's not too late.
