Specious rhetoric alert. False equivalency alert.

'Cognitive decline' is a process which may or may not result in 'Cognitive impairment.' You seem to use 'decline' to imply significant 'impairment'. Without presenting diagnostic characteristics of the continuum or evidence regarding Biden.

The situation with Reagan was significantly different than with Biden.

Reagan's acting training kicked in when he was 'on.' But there was talk among witnesses of his decline and impairment. And his entourage's protective strategies which continued until his death.

The notion that Biden is cognitively impaired follows Alex Jones' manipulated videos misrepresenting Hillary Clinton as impaired. And is promoted in the same way by Trump et al. Again.

Well stated. Biden demonstrates higher order and critical thinking and complex judgement. Add compassion, gentle humor and respect to the list of characteristics he has demonstrated - this is a person of character, wisdom and experience. He executes his fiduciary and leadership responsibilites in spite of overwhelming resistance.
