He did it. Joe Biden got through the biggest speech of his life cleanly and coherently Thursday night, without stumbling or mumbling or getting that far-away dazed look in his eyes.
That sounds like an incredibly low bar because it is, but it reflects the honest and serious debate about Biden’s fitness. His age, 77, past health problems and the obvious signs that his faculties have been diminished raised the unprecedented possibility that he would not be able to carry out one of the routine performances of a major party nominee — give an acceptance speech.
Coming into his party’s virtual coronation, the test was not whether

Any interviews he gives will likely be scripted, so don't expect anything earth-shattering. I want to see him on Tucker or Hannity for at least the first half....THAT might be interesting.

I didn't (and won't) watch it, but was the "speech" live or pieced together Memorex? Did they pump biden with drugs to keep him coherent long enough to complete a speech? Did hillary cast a spell? Was it a double: did you see the blond hairs on his leg for proof that it was biden? Just asking because we know democrats are the fakest of the fake; they don't do nothing honest. (Double negative intended; it just sounds better.)

Yeah. Coherent except for that thing about not accomplishing anything which slipped out unintentionally.

If Joe should, as some have suggested, skip the debates, here's a solution for Trump to get his points across in a mock debate: use a "challenger" wearing a Biden mask, and debate with him. Trump would be able to effectively bury his opponent.

To add to the above, the questioners could wear masks in the likeness of CNBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc. etc. etc., "journalists," all the MSM stars that never give Trump a break.

It will not happen. The dems know that Joe will shoot himself in the foot if set out on the campaign trail.

OK my conservative Republican rear end...this dolt can't string three words together to make a coherent sentence...and his 'handlers' want him to be President (I'm sure he doesn't know what that is at this point in his life)...sad that the douchee of a wife is pushing him because she thinks she is going to be First Lady...

I'm completely baffled. Dementia cannot be controlled, by drugs or by behavioral changes. It is a downward spiral. Although lucid periods may come and go, WHEN those periods will occur CANNOT be predicted. A person with dementia could NOT be counted on to read a teleprompter or do anything else ON DEMAND. The risk that Joe would just wander offstage, pull an earpiece out, or start babbling about something else was too great; at the very least the Demos would've made up an excuse to video his acceptance speech---if indeed Joe is mentally ill.
But it's the eyes that have me baffled most. Anyone familiar with dementia recognizes the blank, vacant look on Joe's face and his tentative, feeble, confused demeanor. Those symptoms were GONE last night. How'd they do that?

He won't answer anything but pre-scripted questions and won't give interviews which are recorded. There MAY be some "interviews" with tame reporters where the interview is totally canned - written by PR folks, and not some words that Joe ever even said, let alone contemporaneously responding to a question.

If I remember right when reading off his speech that Biden kept looking straight ahead. Obviously Biden was not reading from a typical TelePrompTer setup with a screen on both sides of where the speaker (Biden) was situated causing the speaker to turn his head from side to side as we see politicians doing routinely as they read off a typical TelePrompTer a process could confuse a speaker who is suffering from age related memory and declining cognitive disabilities because such a speaker would have to do two things at once, keep turning his head from side to side when reading. So it appeared that Biden was reading off a electronic device that was situated in front of him so that he would not have to turn his head from side to side and read from devices located on both sides of where Biden was sitting.
