...the repeated questions about Joe Biden's mental health aren't just insulting to the president, they're insulting to the voters who chose Joe Biden to run against Trump.
This was a sad session of projection to try and bring this Democratic president to his knees in front of him. Nothing about the actual interest of Americans, much less the ones who voted for him.
That was just a disgraceful sham. He asked the same questions over and over until he was answering himself. No doubt, for ABC, this bagering and the responses he elicited will be defended by ABC and the reporter, but he did nothing for democracy, nothing for reporting, and everything to enable Trump in this election.
I don't have to be objective about this. NONE of this interview was in my interest as a voter.

(1,949 posts)They basically said that Biden's repeated refusal to admit he needs to drop out proves he's senile so he needs drop out.
