8. Well I think Biden did slip a gear even before his debate performance

It was obvious to me, perhaps because I've been around and worked with a lot of elderly folks with cognitive issues.

I didn't care, because he had a lot of great support from the team around him.

I do fault him for thinking he ahould run again. If it was obvious to myself and others that he was slipping, then it was well known to himself, though I imagine that he was stubborn and in denial. Another common trait among the elderly, it took a crash(nothing serious) to get my eighty six year old step father to give up the keys, even though those of us close to him had begged him for years.

The sad thing is that none of this matters now. Biden had a great term in office, leading this country out of the dark days of COVID, with a recovery that was the best in the world. MAGAts are simply using this as a smoke screen to hide the fact that Trump has not just slipped a gear, but his entire gearbox has been ground to dust.
