Biden's decline 2

Kevin Drum:

Has the press been covering for Joe Biden over the past few months? Until now I've considered this to be little more than typical Fox News nonsense, but I'm beginning to wonder. Here is Olivia Nuzzi:

....They were scared and horrified. But they were also burdened. They needed to talk about it (though not on the record)....Their disclosures often followed innocent questions: Have you seen the president lately? How does he seem?

Often, they would answer with only silence, their eyes widening cartoonishly, their heads shaking back and forth. Or with disapproving sounds. Or with a simple, “Not good! Not good!”....Longtime friends of the Biden family, who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity, were shocked to find that the president did not remember their names....

Rob's comment:

If Biden is still the Democratic Party's nominee in November, I'll vote for him. Even a disabled Biden is a better choice than Donald Trump and the vile Republican Party.

As an Amesrican voter, I agree with this idea: Ultimately, political parties — not personalities — are the defining rubric for British voters.
