But I thought all the clips of Biden not knowing where he is and forgetting what he’s saying were just “cheap fakes.” 😂😂

[arkwill]

Admittedly I don't watch much politics - but I had no idea Biden was THIS far gone! This was eye opening. I can't vote for that. No way.

[ToniStarnes-rfoh]

You can tell this is a Democratic platform

Bring back the Dislike Button Youtube!!!

More one sided nonsense from NBC news.

Take away Biden’s earpiece and teleprompter and this is what you get.

Harris came out to defend him? I forget that she's the vice president 🤔 I mean what does she do 😒

[Towerwatson]

Today is so dishonest, you're fooling no ones.

The thing I find most amazing is that Biden has been like this for over a year. It was brought up continuously by the conservative news channels, and all of a sudden NOW everyone is saying he’s done as a candidate.

Biden had a long time to prepare for this night. This was Biden at his Best.

And it only gets worse from here. There is NO chance of Biden making it through another term if reelected and people know this but are still voting for him.

"Sparks concerns" is like saying the Titanic had a bit of a leak.

Today show once again showing their bias as a media outlet.

[janetpatri]

When you want to prop up a dementia patient rather than secure your own reputation as journalists.

It was hard to watch Joe stumble through his sentences. Everyone in the world just saw that our leader is incapable of carrying out his responsibilities. He just weakened us on the world stage.

[austinbutler]

What happen to trump not showing up? 😂 the dems were hopping he wouldn't

[ricblic]

So Joe takes a week off from being president and this was the best he could do. 😂🤣😂

[UnderArea]

Was Biden really there? He was like watching a cardboard cutout with a voice over during the debate...

Any family member who has had a loved one with dementia saw a man who is facing the long goodbye. It is sad that Biden's loved ones, Doctors and staff have allowed him to remain in this presidency and even worse that they think he can run for re-election. President Biden needs loving care because it is only going to get worse and from the looks of it soon! I know what this looks like my husband's uncle had this awful disease. He is starting to lose his train of thought more frequently now but it is the long lost stare that is even a bigger sign that his dementia is getting increasingly worse. I can't see him completing his Presidency at this point.

Now you How bad this guy is doing???? Really??? Now??? He's been a train wreck for quite a while now. Where has you been
