    I found your comment by searching for “Until you’re vetted”. It was easy enough to understand what he was saying that I was able to just search for the words I heard and find them here.

    It’s easy to hear what he’s saying, sure he’s “slurring the words”, but it’s not like a drunk slurring the words, or like he’s had a stroke. He’s just speaking in a sloppy way, not enunciating his words. There’s a clear difference from earlier speeches where the words he was speaking were gibberish, but his enunciation was better. But, so what? What does that prove?

    The Nikky Haley thing was a bigger gaffe, and more likely to indicate his not thinking correctly. But, again, it’s just a gaffe. Biden also made plenty of gaffes, even when he was much younger.

    None of this matters though. What matters is what will happen if Trump becomes president again. His first term resulted in all kinds of damage, and that’s despite the fact that he didn’t really have the Republican establishment behind him, and that so many of his staff were inexperienced. This time the main reason he’s running is to be able to pardon himself from various crimes. He’s going to have the new republican party behind him pushing extreme ideas, and he’s going to be out for vengeance for all his enemies.

    I really hope that going after him for “slurring his words” isn’t actually an effective strategy for the Biden team, because if it’s the kind of thing that actually sways votes, it shows how bad things really are in the US.

      The Nikki/Pelosi thing is more than a gaffe. It’s not like he said one name when he meant the other, a mixup anyone can make. No, he actually confused the people the way a person with Alzheimer’s does.
