      Maybe he does implode, but sitting and waiting for a "gaffe" to destroy Biden is foolish. "Gaffes" are only harmful if they reveal something about a candidate that was previously concealed. See: Romney "47%" or Hillary "deplorables." Biden's persona already has "gaffes" baked in

      The main thing that I could see genuinely undermining Biden is his cognitive capacities. He's 76 and it's common to falter at that age. He also underwent severe emotional stress recently due to the death of his son. But as recently as 2012 he performed very well in debates

          I just watched Biden's first rally in Pittsburgh, and I think people are exaggerating the extent to which he was "slurring." He's not the most articulate obviously, but he's perfectly intelligible. Just like Trump, who also frequently struggles to formulate complete sentences

          I actually disagree. Anyone who thinks cognitive capacity necessarily declines with age needs to take a look at Noam Chomsky. He's 90 and as sharp as ever. 76 might as well be the new 50. If Biden's cognitive capacity is in jeopardy it would stand to reason that Bernie's is.

          Chomsky is still sharp but it's ridiculous to suggest that he's as sharp as he was decades ago.

          If your grandmother was running for president then yes, her cognitive capacities would have to be subject to public scrutiny

          He performed well because he was a grinning, condescending maniac, which is not a stressful posture. He will have more stress with Trump, and with any gasbag under stress, where the air comes out is hard to predict.

          Biden's cognitive capabilities have been impaired since his surgery in 1988 to clip two cranial aneurysms & continues to deteriorate with his advanced age. His unfiltered remarks & unwanted advances are symptoms. @TuckerCarlson @MZHemingway @ggreenwald @realDonaldTrump @ByronYork

          Michael, is this the kind of thing you want to think about for the rest of your life? The arcane details that make up the shallowness and phoniness off the American political scene? I sure hope the money is good, because contemplating these things leads absolutely nowhere.

          Bernie will have to go after the disaster also known as Obama's presidency. Given his experience in 2016 and age, he might very well decide to go down that route. After all, he does not have much to lose..

          If I hadn't been alive during the Reagan years, that argument might be more persuasive. We lived in constant dread that he would accidentally push the button or that an ill-timed Grandpa joke would be taken seriously.

          Not every old person is created equal. Bernie has proven himself physically and mentally strong by campaigning and rallying consistently since 2016. Don't think Biden has that amount of effort in him.
