As a retired English teacher, the way I perceive most of Trump's speech is like a poor student who never does the assigned reading or homework, so they BS their way on a test.

I'm now 79, psychologist in good health, and---? It's easier to get exhausted when you don't pace yourself well: It;s so evident to me that Biden, given his HUGEly demanding schedule (and evidently VERY hardy basic constitition), he had a cold, exhausted: your brain-body won't perform well. I never saw ANY sign of dementia (and I work in Memory Care homes), and he apparently but up and running the next day... I'm very articulate, but SPUTTER and get at a loss for words, concepts (synapses aren't firing), if I am too tired: Biden's speech impediment just was part of that sorry mix... I love the man, am immensely grateful for his service, his nobility in vacating his candidacy.... and am thrilled that our party has NEW life.

I’m Canadian and I keep up with American political news daily. I have the greatest respect for joe Biden. He is kind and principled and trustworthy and moral and a wonderful father and husband. I was very sad when he stepped down but this shows his character. He thought of the good of his country. And I am absolutely tickled about Kamala !!!! God bless America.

[RatedArggg]

I've noticed that Biden was slowing down. But I still don't know how anybody could choose Trump just because of that. You're choosing an administration, not just a person.

[chrisnewman]

Joe Biden may have early stages of age related decline but one thing in his favour is he still has loads of wisdom something that Donald Trump is sorely lacking

[SteveInPalmSprings]

Thank you so much for having the two Doctors on today. The information they offer is informed and intelligent. I wish others in the media were as open about mental issues as these two are. Keep up the great work.

[ellenbruckermarshall]

More concerning to me than his cognitive decline, is the mental health of the people who are telling him what to do. Steven Miller, Jr. Bill Barr and friends.

[juliewholohan]

To be fair…Joe is 81…he has the hardest job in America, he had Covid, he was traveling the world and …did I mention he is 81.🤷‍♀️ I think he is amazing👏👏👏👏🇦🇺

[mikejones]

David you are knocking it out of the park. Your control of your interview while allowing your guests to make their points is stellar. Well worth the listen...thank you.

[dawnvarty]

As a nurse with more than 30 years hands on experience with geriatric patients I recognize President Biden's aging condition and don't think he's capable of another term. Trump is even more frightening. A demented Grandpa is one thing. A demented sociopathic narcissist is a monster of an entirely different shape. THANK GOD FOR KAMALA! USA! USA!

[BoomBoomGirl]

My uncle stuttered and he was just like Joe as he aged. I’m glad you are talking about this, David. We owe President Biden all our gratitude and love. ❤

[patriciarowan]

Thank you David, for having true mental health professionals on the show. Best explanation of trump’s cognitive decline.

[parcher]

I am 86 and have known Trump for 40 years coming from NY. He has not changed. Was always a con man.

[aliceanneacts]

Yes on the stuttering issue! I think we’re where we need to be, but I still think Biden is absolutely fine mentally.

[vernalstevens]

No matter how slow and tired Biden showed during his debate with the Dumpster, HE DID NOT UTTER ONE SINGLE LIE. Can that be said about the Dumpster?

[ngwfpbc]

Retired nurse here. I saw a man who didn't feel well. He should have been in bed with a hot toddy, and the debate postponed until he felt better.

[giannisolga]

I'm 82. I make 3 meals a day and I'm a good cook. Today I solved quadratic equations for an hour, listened to a lecture on modern physics and one on great art, read the NYT and watched the news. But it's now 11pm, after listening to David Packman I wanted to do French, but now I'm gaga, nothing's computing, no more gas in the mental tank. Tomorrow I'll be sharp again. I think Joe Biden, one of our best presidents, was simply just exhausted the evening of the debate, just hit a wall of physical stamina giving out. You try going in and out of jet lag several times a week. Donald Trump tells lies at such a furious rate that it is challenging and exhausting at the best of times to formulate rapid articulate responses to his antics. Look how the fresh young professional journalists with their degrees in political science haven't figured out yet how to hold Trump's feet to the fire. For Joe unfortunately it was just a perfect storm the evening of the debate.

[Behavioralresearcher]

Who could've thought that a covid infection finally saved Democracy. Isn't that Ironic. Thank you president Biden, for being such a good hearted person and your choice to step aside to save democracy is the most patriotic thing I ever watched.

[gointothedogs]

I watched Joe's debate a second time for a fresh understanding. What I saw was a man who was so shocked at Trump's machine gun blasting of lies, known as the unsavory debate style Gish Gallop, that his jaw actually dropped momentarily before he lowered his head. Biden wasn't having a Mitch McConnell moment, Biden was clearly rethinking all his debate prep for an understanding how to combat Trump. I literally had an image of wheels turning in Biden's brain, as he thought this out. Later it became obvious his pre-debate prep was all wrong for Donald Trump. Trump has no interest in debating actual facts and policies, he lied as usual, whereas Biden came out prepared for a gentleman's debate on policy. Next day at his rally he was angry and told the crowd that he would be himself from then on and talk like he always had before. He'd clearly been prepped wrong.
"I beat medicare" wasn't a glitch, his mike was cut off before he could explain that he beat medical high costs of pharmaceuticals. I also believe the way Tapper and Bash treated him vs their soft ball treatment of DJT was abhorrent. Dana Bash was almost rude to President Biden.

[ongogablogian]

I knew Donald Trump was off his rocker when he first ran for president in 2015. He only got drastically worse.
