Agree. Perfectly stated, especially in an event-filled life. Hortensis Aug 2019 #85

Does the article say why it happens more often for one individual than another? bluewater Aug 2019 #2

That would be hard to prove. Put the spotlight on whomever you believe never manifests this, hlthe2b Aug 2019 #4

So you are saying you agree with me? Some individuals do have worse memories? bluewater Aug 2019 #22

What I said is that without long-term objective comparative study, such differences hlthe2b Aug 2019 #25

Oh, absolutely, such differences would be hard to definitively prove. bluewater Aug 2019 #29

LOL! So you're suggesting that all the other 20 or so candidates are so weak that Biden would have highplainsdem Aug 2019 #32

Without his constant gaffes and memory lapses Biden WOULD be polling better. bluewater Aug 2019 #33

Honey.. you must not have seen the new polls from yesterday Thekaspervote Aug 2019 #44

Your conclusion is a logical fallacy. LanternWaste Aug 2019 #73

Do you have objective numbers of gaffes v gaffes within the field of Dem candidates? LanternWaste Aug 2019 #72

It may not always be due to age or cognitive problems but virgogal Aug 2019 #3

Sorry, that is your experience. Projecting its effects on an entire population cohort is ridiculous. hlthe2b Aug 2019 #7

Yeah, it's normal esp. for someone his age Bradical79 Aug 2019 #8

I think campaign staffs for all candidates should check for accuracy of details, statistics, etc. highplainsdem Aug 2019 #15

Yep Bradical79 Aug 2019 #24

That is not a horrible thing when it comes to stories treestar Aug 2019 #81
