Cognitive decline is what the media calls it. What it means is losing track of reality. Now that is not a big problem for the average 81-year-old, but when that 81-year-old is the President of the United States and leader of the free world, it becomes a different story.
He has the keys to Air Force 1 and the ability to blow up the world. Pretty good reasons to be having all your faculties working. When you think about it, has he ever shown a command of his full faculties? We are not the only ones to notice Biden's recent frailties. Several top named Democrats have sounded their concerns.
So, I'm going to give you my best guess as to what we can expect over the next few weeks. As scary as it is for them, I don't think Biden is going to be their candidate in November. Somebody will emerge before the convention to “save the day”. Michelle Obama or somebody like that. How about Hillary? You can bet she is squirming in her seat waiting for the call.
The Dems have a real problem. They have kept the truth about Biden hidden, now they have to deal with it. Personally I hope they do go with Biden. I believe he is beatable. Democrats down the ballot from the top spot are also worried. Even Adam Shiff, or as I used to call him, shiftless, sounded the alarm. He predicted the entire Democrat party would suffer irreparable harm if Biden is their candidate. As for me, I hope so.
We are in for a very interesting few weeks ahead. My next prediction is that it probably won't matter what the Democrats do. The national scene is so screwed up right now, the voters in this country are screaming for relief. Trump will come riding in on his white horse and end the debate.
It's going to be fun to watch.

P.S. Thanks to all well wishers who sent their thoughts. I'm much better now and back at it full bore.
