    Portraying these constant errors as "gaffes" will not hurt Biden because being "gaffe-prone" is already part of his public persona. Portraying them as evidence of cognitive decline *could* hurt him, because it undermines the central argument for his candidacy ("most electable")

        Yes but observing Biden’s onset of dementia and pointing it out leaves Bernie vulnerable. Bernie’s on point always but Corporate media will bemoan what could happen to his marvelous brain over the next 5 years. I’d leave it alone Michael AND concerned Biden’s slip is purposeful🤔

        So is the media considering his lie about Trump calling white supremicists fine people a gaffe or just an acceptable fabrication? As someone who didn’t much care for Trump in 2016 these guys have done their best to make sure I vote for him in 2020.

        If POTUS gets a perpetual pass on lies, exaggerations, fabrications, and other fantasies, will anyone even notice? Truth is dead.

        He did, the idea that Trump was a boisterous incendiary individual was already baked into the public’s perception before his candidacy.

        “Cognitive decline” is not a road Trump wants to go down given his obvious dementia and Adderall addiction. The Democrat who attacks Biden in these terms will become anathema. Look for Gabbard and Booker to step forward in this regard.

        If Biden is suffering from cognitive decline, this decline will only worsen. That said, at this stage, I believe Biden's support is soft. Warren will be the nominee, or the vampire lurching in the shadows, Hillary.

        You could argue that somebody with early stage senility occupying the White House is fitting since a good proportion of the population is or soon will be going into cognitive decline. Senility is just another special interest that needs pandering.

        Even among anti-war activists a person likely to overreact is preferrable to someone who either cannot make competent snap decisions, or who delegates the decision making to shady nat sec operatives.

        The more gaffes he makes, the more authentic he seems, the more electable he becomes. I am guessing his performance in the polls will be inversely proportional to the amount of outrage he gets on Twitter

        If it is cognitive decline, then Biden is falling back on his deepest, truest beliefs, such as the one where he equates minorities and the poor.

        It’s true that cognitive decline is accompanied by bursts of candor. Should be entertaining, if the media ever report it.
