Debate showed Biden’s cognitive decline undeniable

Editor:

After watching the debate the other night, I have been reading several letters to the editor saying Biden is the better candidate. My platform here is not to defend either candidate but to put forth the truth.

Biden’s cognitive decline has been obvious for awhile, and although the media has tried very hard  to camouflage this reality, there is no denying that the President’s missteps and paralyzed events are very alarming.

As we all know, Conservatives have said for months, Biden is unfit for the role of President.  However, after the debate debacle, many Democrats and independents are also seeing his fragility and incapacity. Panic is starting to set in.

It’s hard to imagine that behind closed doors, he emerges as a coherent and vibrant man. If that was the case, why would his son, Hunter, suddenly appear at his White House meetings? Only one answer: he wants to protect his father from more scrutiny and error.

I don’t see Biden getting out and aggressively winning over voters with enthusiasm and critical initiatives. Our border problems and economic instability are evident to most Americans.

The gut wrenching truth is he’s done.

Apparently Biden has been counseled by family and friends to continue his campaign. In fact Governor Gavin Newsom is heading East to meet with Biden. A governor whose failures in California include homelessness, early release of convicted felons, high gas prices, education failures (“According to statewide test scores released by the California Department of Education, two-thirds of students failed to meet the math standards, and more than half did not meet the English standards.”

Why would anyone engage with someone like that with a broken track record? They say “Birds of a feather flock together.”

It is never easy to steer a boat in a different direction, but to keep heading on the same path to disaster is nothing less than insanity.
