I’m thinking you are right! The cognitive decline for whatever reason would be too obvious! Would be political suicide and expose the serious lack of basic decision making of everyone involved in this fiasco. The deep state seems to be making bad decisions on every platform, almost laughable, like how could this be? I’m well aware that Joe has issues pending that this so-called “debate” would definitely be brought to the forefront. Again, assuming this would be a “live broadcast” with traditional debate format, I don’t see how the public would not recognize his obvious decline, and demand for immediate disqualification, because it’s the obvious humane thing to do! I’ve pondered if this is all a ruse, to distract from the possible agenda, to be revealed, sort of a gotcha moment! The Democratic Party have to be up to no good, their signature! I guess we will be tuning in to perhaps get some clarity, I mean the general public has to be tired of this, I need something to believe in!!!
