Joe has been a gaffe machine for years. BFD
- Exactly. He does weird word substitutions as part of how he deals with stuttering and has forever
- I watched a video my mom posted of this incident along with claims that he was ‘screaming’ at the press.
  Regarding Mexico, I just immediately remembered how I used to talk to my mom about him being a gaffe machine as a kid and waved it away.
  As for the screaming, he got forceful because the press kept yelling over him, but not once did he raise his voice.
  The criticisms of this man are mind boggling to me.
The GOP has been harping on this bullshit forever. Say a lie enough times and people start to believe it, that whole deal. Just more projection. It's so unbelievably ridiculous I'm not sure whether to sob or laugh like a maniac. Maybe both.
You guys really are going hard for Biden even though it's ok to be critical and worry about the guy being able to make rational decisions. And before I get labeled a Trump supporter, I'm voting for Biden.
- I trust in Bidens ability to take council from his staff if his memory fails him. I also trust in Trump's inability to listen to anyone except himself, so I'll gladly take the former for another 4 years.
  
  Yep. Biden knows how to listen and trust experts. He’d get my vote over trump for that reason alone any and every day.
- As am I. We really, REALLY need younger candidates for President, but I’m not voting for a fascist man baby over just because the other guy is an old man with brainfarts.
Still Trump is demented, which is way worse than mixing people's names
Using the wrong name is a very common thing among elderly people. Stop trying to justify it. Both Biden and Trump should not be candidates for the presidency.
What company in the world would hire 80yos for anything mentally demanding. Biden wouldnt be hired on any company in the world, yet you want to put him in charge of the world? And he will be in an even worse condition later in his 2nd term.
Bill Clinton is 4 years younger and he is pretty much a zombie. Presidency takes a huge physical and mental toll. Even Obama went from super fit young man to middle aged.
See I would say it's the aiding in a genocide campaign and starting wars in the middle East, but I guess I'm just old fashioned that way.
