I remember a friend who attended a CA Biden fundraiser in 2020 or 2021 describing how out of it mentally Biden seemed to be. She was horrified. Not clear the donors were exactly in the dark …. https://t.co/Q5zIKCWm3G

Biden probably *still* thinks his staff wrote those 1988 speeches they cribbed from Bobby Kennedy.**

Good point. He’s not exactly keeping up with both sides of the debate. Need I say that being insulated from bad news is a really bad practice for a leader. See LBJ, Vietnam. https://t.co/Sl09ahAyNX

Biden was clearly overprepared. Not the main problem, which is his decline. But Klain & Co. are supposed to adjust to the decline.
