| The Trump nappy claims come from his former staff members and seem to be backed up by video footage. He avoids turning his back to a camera. Your claims about Biden's ambition don't seem to fit what people with experience and knowledge of American politics say. He had to be persuaded to go for the nomination last time because his intention had been to retire but Democratic party strategists were convinced he was the only potential candidate able to beat Trump because of his appeal in key rust belt seats such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan where Hilary had done poorly. This turned out to be correct and was the main reason why he won. The widespread expectation was that he would run for one term and step aside for Kamala Harris but her polling is terrible and she is not a viable candidate. Among Democratic delegates Hilary Clinton and Bernie Saunders are the two highest polling potential candidates way behind Biden. As I said, no viable alternative has emerged, and rather than clinging to power, Biden has been put in a position where he has no choice but to run again. There isn't much I can do to persuade you to accept the medical opinion of doctors who have explained the impact of pre-existing issues on his gait or the evidence of your own eyes and ears were you actually to listen to him speaking for an extended period rather than just to short clips of gaffes you see on Twitter, if you are unwilling to do so. However, while nobody believes Biden is the ideal candidate and like with any man of his age there should be reservations about his health, no sane person should spread unevidenced and exaggerated reports about any impairment which can only serve to advance the cause of Donald Trump. |
