A new Quinnipiac University poll finds that the majority of Americans have doubts about the mental fitness of both President Joe Biden and his potential general election opponent, Donald Trump. The survey, released on Wednesday, indicates that 64% of respondents doubt Biden’s mental fitness to serve a second term, while 51% question Trump’s mental capacity for another term in the White House.
This sentiment emerges amidst scrutiny of the 81-year-old Biden’s mental acuity, especially after a report by Special Counsel Robert Hur described him as an “elderly man with a poor memory” – an assertion that Biden and his allies have attacked as untrue.
Meanwhile, 77-year-old Trump is advancing easily towards the Republican nomination and is often outpacing Biden in public opinion polls. However, the Quinnipiac poll presents an anomaly, showing Biden leading Trump by 4 points. This is in contrast to the broader perception shared by two-thirds of the voters surveyed by Quinnipiac, who believe Biden is too old to fulfill another term effectively.

In a country of over 300, 000,000, are these the only two people we can choose to run? Are these the best choices?
Woe unto us.
1. There is NO constitutional requirement pertaining to physical or mental fitness.
2. It should be noted the Great Britain’s greatest military victory was in the Napoleonic Wars, during which time the Head of state (and Commander in Chief) was quite insane (note that he had been sane when he managed to lost the American War for Independence).
3. It should be noted that almost all the problems in the world today can be attributed to leaders who were clearly sane. So maybe we should give the meshuganahs a chance.
