Before last Thursday’s debate, it was possible to believe that Joe Biden has some good days and some bad days, that he perhaps keeps too light a schedule as president, and that he relies on his aides more than is healthy. That is, one could believe, as I did, that Joe Biden was too old and that he was unfit for the job and should step down but grant, generously, that he still was president in a meaningful way.
After Thursday’s debate and the subsequent splurge of reporting about the conditions that obtain in the White House, that’s no longer tenable. Nobody familiar with the perils of aging, dementia, and Alzheimer’s can look at Joe Biden and conclude that he is meaningfully exercising the full faculties necessary to be president.
