Was this the start of a US Presidential campaign

Like the facts Dem supporting MSM promoted that Biden's health was just fine these past 18 months? For them all to capitulate en masse and stop lying when they couldn't paper over it any further? The story or the facts? What happens when the MSM decide both?

MSM? Like NBC? Like ABC? FOX? Politico? Al Jazeera? LA Times?

Just a few that have been reporting on concerns over Biden's health for quite some time. That was just a quick 2 - 3 minute search, I'm sure there's a lot more.

Oh them, that MSM, let's throw some mud at the lot of them, they are a soft target, it will stick.

I do note that most have also reported on Biden's official health updates from the Whitehouse. That's called reporting the news, whether you believe it or not.

The thing that doesn’t stack up is that during the debate, Biden was an obvious mess, but at the rally afterwards, he was totally into it.

Explanations?

Perhaps he was tired. Memory lapses are more common when you are tired and people with dementia also can be worse at the end of the day than the start.

His people may have given some sort of pep pills for the bext day. It could be any number of reasons, but that performance isn't going away from people's minds in a hurry and it may have cost him the election

Like I already suggested. More drugs, teleprompter, no questions. Far less challenging for him under those conditions.

I agree with that. Trump and Biden were old even at the last presidential election. Biden especially faced questions over his mental health then. It is hardly surprising that an 81 year old may get flummoxed during a live TV debate. The choice is between an old man who is a pathological liar, and an old man who has cognitive performance issues.

Even previous President George W Bush is about the same age. Barack Obama is a younger generation.

Hopefully this encourages slippery folks like Mitt Romney and John Bolton waiting for the "perfect republican" to vote for Biden because their futures are at stake if he loses too along with the rest of the country.

I know they hate the colour blue, but there's more important things to be concerned about.

Yes, speculation that they may have tweaked/increased his meds the next day.

Could also be that he just had a ‘good day’ the following day. That happens to elderly too once they start losing their marbles.

Maybe a combination of both.

Looks like Biden staying put and they can’t really force him out at this stage.

I feel for the world. All we can hope is that Americans pick the dotard over the felon.

This earlier shared link is funny but also a good contrast.

Felon BS. was a stitch up.

Felon BS. was a stitch up.

The only reason he's running again is for both immunity and the ability to pardon felons from their crimes.

Bill Clinton is younger than both current candidates!

Mind you many powerful people today are at advanced ages - bill gates(hmm?), warren buffet, rupert murdoch.

In the natural world this would be laughable and the younger ones would take over - maybe a sign we are on track to becoming a fallen species.
