Opinion from The Hill: Joe Biden was not in decline

I have worked in the arena. As a White House intern in the Office of Presidential Correspondence, an elected delegate to the Democratic National Convention, and a veteran of campaigns at every level, I have had the chance to see how government really works — behind the speeches and the soundbites.

I have seen former President Joe Biden — not resembling the caricature in these new political tell-alls that people keep publishing, but as a man committed to serving others, listening when it’s hardest and leading when others duck responsibility.

That’s why it is disheartening to see the growing shelf of books peddling the idea of a president in decline.

3. Biden's "mental decline"?

Weighing Trump's mental acuity against Biden's, Joe Biden's mind is sharp as a tack. All this bs about Biden's mental health came from his poor debate performance after he had been sick for about a week just prior to the debate. Republicans knew it, and exaggerated it to make it seem Joe had early signs of dementia,

5. Trump is a mentally ill

narcissistic, greedy, vengeful, non-intellectual criminal. Biden, compared to trump, was a far better leader of our country and our country is suffering heavily now because people chose that over compassion, fairness, and a true commitment to bettering America.

Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., could lead this country 1000 times 10 BETTER than TACO Donny, TSF.

12. Decline

In reality we are in decline all of our lives.
Some quicker, some slower, some publicly and some privately.

Samuel Beckett wrote, in Waiting for Godot, "They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more".

17. Biden made a mistake in judgement in making 2 trips to Europe last June which left him jetlagged

and then 2 days before the debate he woke up with a severe cold where he was losing his voice but still trying to prepare for the debate. Yes, hindsight is 20/20 and perhaps a man his age would have been better served in resting up for the debate, but that didn't happen and in the end the history of the world was changed by small things that would never have been looked at as so consequential otherwise.
