From Aging, incoherent felon refuses to drop out of presidential race
With Biden's exit, we hope the purple parts of the country that couldn't trust the president's mental competency will now see the obvious truth about

(
www.sfchronicle.com):

Even putting aside Trump's deadly history of policy failure, sexual abuse or his 34 felony convictions " which, to be clear, we shouldn't " the former president, 78, has been borderline incomprehensible for years.

Consider his ambitious plans for missile defense: "Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. ... They've only got 17 seconds to figure this whole thing out. Boom. OK. Missile launch. Woosh. Boom."

Or his suggestion that injecting disinfectant could fight COVID from within.

Or his mathematically dubious analysis of the job market during his Republican convention coronation speech: "107 percent of jobs are taken by illegal aliens."

We could go on.

One of the most effective presidents in modern history just dropped his reelection campaign over fears of cognitive decline. Polls suggest this was the correct choice " that Americans in crucial swing states no longer saw Biden as capable of realizing his promise of normalcy.

With Biden's exit, we hope those same parts of the country will remove the wool from their eyes to see the obvious truth about Trump.

From It's time to talk about Donald Trump's age (thehill.com):

Trump has repeatedly said he believes all presidential candidates should be "mandated to take a cognitive test" regardless of age. There's no time like the present, because the concerning evidence of Trump's mental decline has been mounting for years.
His memory problems are well-documented; the former president doesn't seem able to recall what he was doing or who he spoke to for most of the day on Jan. 6, 2021. He also regularly forgets who the sitting president is, often confusing Joe Biden and Barack Obama during unscripted remarks. That seems pretty important.
Concerns about how Trump's age could weigh on the Republican ticket aren't exclusive to Democrats like me. Sixty percent of voters now believe Trump is too old to serve, according to a post-debate ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll. That's up from 44 percent a little over a year ago. Of voters who watched Trump's rambling debate performance last month, fully 50 percent believe the former president should withdraw from the race and focus on his mental health.
Even some Republicans can see the writing on the wall. Back in January, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley warned GOP voters that "the first party to retire its 80-year-old candidate is going to be the one who wins the election." So far, only Democrats have responded to that national concern by acting in the nation's best interest.
