Is Pelosi Losing It?
Over the past ten months or so, there has been a lot of attention paid to Joe Biden and his “gaffes.” Of course, while Joe Biden has had his share of gaffes in the past, these were of a different variety. Many of his current crop have been signs of a declining cognitive function. They appear to be clear signs of early stage dementia.
There have been many indicators. These have ranged from not knowing what day of the week it is, to what state he is in, to what office he is running for. Biden has also erupted into bouts of anger when asked questions he doesn’t like. Biden is also unable to finish thoughts that he starts articulating particularly when he is not in front of a teleprompter.
Because of these exhibitions of cognitive deficiency, much attention has been focused on protecting him in the media. His public appearances have been reduced to limit his exposure. The DNC has been trying to get Bernie Sanders to give up the fight for the nomination so that they can focus on rebuilding Biden’s image. So far Sanders has been unwilling to do that. Perhaps he is hoping that Biden’s cognitive weaknesses will be exposed enough that the DNC will be forced to turn elsewhere for a candidate.
