    Again, so find a video, there’s tons of them on Youtube and CSPAN, pre 2008 where he sounded anything like he did when he was president. His mental decline was obvious well before he was president, But liberals chose to ignore it by calling it a stutter.

      He has a stutter that he has to overcome. Old age and his sickness that day (as well as being probably the most stressful day of his life) made it difficult to overcome, not to mention him spiraling after the debate went sideways immediately. All of that is reality.

      Now, his old age means a mentality decline, absolutely. Pretending it was 100% mental decline is just as false as saying he has had no mental decline at all. We will never know how much each piece contributed to what we saw.

      So show some grace and don’t assume you know all the answers.
