This is very, very true. I know first hand, literally. My grandfather was about Biden's age when his keys were taken away and vehemently disagreed that it was time, he was extremely angry at us....only he had already forgotten why the keys were taken away, he thought we were lying to him about what happened. It was a sad time for all of us that loved him, which is abhorrent to see his family still trying to keep him in the race. That's not love. Truth be told: He was in the middle of an intersection making a left and forgot where he was and just held up traffic, confused. Thankfully a kind stranger noticed and ran up to his car and drove him home which is where he called our family and we brought him to come live with us. He was extremely upset about all of it and it was heartbreaking to see him decline rapidly, the signs were there years ago but after that it set in rapidly and there was no going back. As much as I personally don't like Biden as a president, it's a sad thing to witness him be the laughing stock in front of the entire world as his mind declines, and I personally blame his family and advisors more than I blame him at this point. They knew back then when we all saw it- and they definitely know now. If Joe does indeed have Dementia, which I suspect that he does, then he doesn't have any idea how bad things are and will only get more stubborn as time goes by and dig his heels in that he's perfectly fine even though the entire world, mostly the people that are with him every day know full well that he's not.

The Iowa caucus in 2016 primary, bernie won then they had to "recount" the ballots about 8 times, then after the 8th time counting it was hillary that won. I watched it live on someones live yt feed that was there in the room, for that particular country . So after that fiasco, critical thinking people woke up and dumped the party of corruption and communism and slavery.. Facts matter..If the educated democrat voters did some research outside of their comfort zone, they would see that they are being lied to and used.. watch the republican convention that was on over the last 4 days. It was truly amazing.. all united patriotic Americans from all walks of life. all races, religions, even democrats were there speaking up and saying they were voting republican.. the room was filled with love for one another and for the USA.. Unite with Americans.. We are all Americans.. pay attention, and watch what going on with an open mind, and not be closed to the fact that you may have been lied to.. this will be too big to rig.. almost 200 million supporting the republican nominee now..

"Look at the heat I'm getting, because I named a...uh, the secretary of defense, a black man." In other words, "Look at the heat I'm getting because I named a black man to be secretary of defense." He only hesitated because the word order was slightly awkward. Not because he couldn't remember the name.
