I haven’t seen sudden cognitive declines, though. I’ve seen plenty examples of compiled clips of either candidate misspeaking, but that’s not the same thing. Neither candidate, as far as I’m aware, has ever been an especially smooth public speaker, so I’m not sure how compiled clips prove anything.
Much of what I see doesn’t look like real concern, either. In most cases I’ve seen, it just looks like an attempt to undermine, or simply make digs at, a candidate’s credibility with something less material than character, policy, or any number of other factors.
I mention ageism because it seems that a large part of the basis/rationale behind saying they have dementia is their ages.
@hmmmmmm I’m sorry to hear about your father.
