so which is it do we think, given the various less than confident defenses of him from some unlikely sources today

He will be declining when he needs to be campaigning?

It's a false dichotomy - governing takes a lot of administrative competency, but also to govern is to campaign. You have to do both. No deist clockmaker version of executive policymaking, where you set out perfect rules making perfect ripples in society that pay back positively. Use the megaphone.

I don't worry his brain is mush. I worry abt his capacity for work. It simply declines as we age (& can fall off suddenly in someone his age ofc) but I fear he just doesn't have the juice to run & potus for the next 4 months. But I'll vote for him anyway btw.

sincere post that sounds like a joke: i think he is genuinely incapable of grasping the issues facing the country but I am not certain whether that’s because he’s too old or because he’s a Democrat

Age or brain mush, why is SCOTUS giving him so much power?

My Occam's Razor take: his ongoing public appearances mean he's not at end-stage Feinstein incapacity, but refusal to speak even with the Dem governors group means he can't engage in unscripted conversations--I suspect him staying this cloistered will soon invite increasing pressure to step down.

I think a lot of people underestimated just how much of the president's job is hiring competent boring ass administrative folks, until we watched Trump fuck up literally everything by hiring stupid people and screwing with them constantly.

I would vote for him in any condition or any other democrat at this point. However I agree with you on the fundamental question. I’m getting Diane Feinstein vibes. If that’s the case his family is doing him a disservice

Not an American, but my response would be close to “govern schmovern”. Reagan managed (save for all the Olly North spook atrocities) and his brain was yoghurt. But can he campaign?

Surely the campaign? Losing the election is exponentially more terrifying than winning and then crapping out mid-term
