This is asking for Obama's long form birth certificate all over again. It was racism with Obama. And ageism with Biden.

I remember the issue never went away. The hard right just escalated the issue, and never accepted it.

..and Obama didn't need to do it because the "short form" certificate was infact proof (contrary to the lies) that he was born in the USA.

I didn't believe it and no matter the legitimacy of the test - no one that matters will change their minds.

It really is a shame that we as Democrats are fighting among our party and it will not help to defeat the real threat that is Trump in November.

It's a valid question. It's taking the initiative away from tRump. I want to know others' opinions. Got yours, thanx.

Because this is all just about pure scientific testing and stuff.

You'd do it to reduce the optics. You'd do it to show no fear. And you'd do it to turn the tables on Trump. It's not a matter of fairness. Just an honest assessment of his fitness to run. It might shut down this crowd of Dems running after him. What more could they want.

Even after he did, the people who had demanded it claimed that it was a fake.

If Biden released the good results of a cognitive test, the media and MAGAs would claim that it was rigged or the results were fake.

But Trump takes the same test as well as one for Rabies, and one for syphilis and one conducted on a treadmill. Not a joke.

just...no.

Someone somewhere said that Biden should be coached on his FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. This is getting awfully granular. I mean, Trump foams at the mouth and sniffs and does the Right bring that up? NO.

Rep. Crockett said it best: All of this hand-wringing energy should be directed toward defeating Trump and his handlers.
