Ok- what is the consensus on his senility (or lack thereof) now?
He got through the first debate without it being obvious.
My judgement is still the same. He's showing signs of increasing senility. My father went through the same process, and he seemed ok most of the time, but the breaks with reality kept getting more and more frequent.
My assessment of Mr. Biden is that he is in the beginning phases of senility, being corralled by people who are well aware of his deficiencies.
That he got through an hour and a half of a debate is impressive, but my guess is they rolled the dice and won, likely due to the drug treatments he is on. His breaks are not continuous ones, but things that he's able to work through,
for now. That will not remain the case.
