I do think everyone believes there is something "off" (not necessarily "dementia") about Trump but when they do the calculus of the other candidate and policies, what has Trump done for me, what they have seen in the past 3.5 years etc. they don't see a pile of pudding. They see Trump being Trump and it being "normal" now because it's been going on for the past 3.5 years, we are numbed to Trump's antics and it's not "big news". This is the 38-42%.
Whereas for Biden, he has not been in the spotlight as much vs Trump. He's been stable, hasn't done anything crazy etc. So when a negative like symptoms of cognitive decline shows up, it's "big news".
Bottom-line to me. Both Biden and Trump have cognitive decline (it's inevitable). Both are getting senile (by the standard definition meaning loss of cognitive functions due to normal aging). The real question to me is not who has it more, it is does it prevent them from doing their Presidential duties.
A hypothetical scenario of a bumbling, confused Biden during the debates against a half-way decent Trump would certainly raise a concern with me. This is getting back to the original question and my answer on why people should watch all/some of the debates even if their minds are made up.
BTW - glad to reengage with you and have discussions. I think we've been doing a pretty good job of ignoring each other recently (even without an ignore button). I would like to continue other discussions but let's both of us keep it civil and not resort to direct or indirect insults. If you don't want to be constrained by this, let's continue to ignore each other.
