John Kerry in 2004 was the presumptive nominee

18. There's a video out there of Biden's "gaffes"

I haven’t watched it, but I had a co-worker who was seriously disturbed by it and asked me if I thought he was “senile”

I pointed out he’s been in public office for decades, and it’s easy to pick out negative sound bites, not helped by Biden’s tendency to be off the cuff. I also pointed out that he’s was very active as a Vice president, has been planning another run for the presidency which was successful. He is an interactive AND active man, appears to be in pretty damn good shape, knows owns his way around the legislative process and is showing zero signs of senility. Occasionally words or mixing them up when one speaks thousands upon thousands a year is not a sign of senility. He has interests and hobbies and in general is a busy guy

Personally While I am fully behind his candidacy, I had to overcome a number of things I disliked about him. Senility is value neutral as far as like or dislike, but I wouldn’t support a person I thought was impaired in anyway. It’s bullshit, and particularly ugly bullshit
