Before he slipped into pure hack status, conservative commenter and radio guy Hugh Hewitt did this with Trump. If I remember correctly, he asked Trump, "What is the nuclear triad?" Trump obviously had no idea what he was talking about. (It is the Cold War strategy that our nukes are deployed on land, in air, and on submarines, making a Russian knock-out of all our nuclear defenses practically impossible.) Hewitt made a big deal about this, suggesting Trump wasn't qualified to be President given his shocking ignorance of a key U.S. defense doctrine. Until Trump was nominated and he conveniently forgot all about this. That's the kind of question debate moderators should ask. And they shouldn't let go until the candidate either fesses up that he simply doesn't know, or reveals his ignorance by trying to bluff his way through it (see Trump's recent Iowa comments on a carbon sequestration pipeline) Frank the once ambitious administration you and I were going to share is apparently going to be a hot mess. I could not disagree more that we need our Presidential candidates to take some administrative state sponsored multiple choice test in order to assume the office. Where is THAT written in the constitution? That sort of litmus test will only serve to double down on the Washington establishment class. Now…while I believe candidates would of course eventually study for and pass such an exam, criticizing a previous or current candidate for not clearing a hurdle that is definitely NOT part of the admissions criteria is beyond ridiculous! 2 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: Edited July 27, 2023 by SoCal Deek

When Biden was running and there were all those questions and memes about his cognitive ability or lack thereof, I remember saying there's two almost 80 year olds out there who seem to not have lost a step at all: McConnell and Pelosi. They were, to me, exactly the same as they were 20 years ago. Haven't seen Nancy lately, but we are, at best, down to one .... ... a cautionary tale about giving really old people really important jobs.
Irv Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 That's bad. I feel actually feel sorry for guys like Mitch and Joe. With all the money they have why would they deal with this bull#### day in day out? 1

John from Riverside Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 I sincerely hope that he does get better whenever I saw him freeze on TV the other day when he was speaking to the media, genuinely fearful for him This goes beyond politics. This is somebody’s grandfather, father, etc. etc.. It doesn’t matter who it is I don’t want to see anybody struggle with health 1 1
Joe Ferguson forever Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) i thought TIA. it's looking more like a petit mal or absence seizure after this one. Time to cash out, Mitch. Edited August 31, 2023 by Joe Ferguson forever

B-Man Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 BEN DOMENECH: McConnell can resign without leaving the Senate. Many Republicans point out that McConnell needs to stay in his seat to prevent Kentucky’s Democratic governor Andy Beshear, currently being challenged by McConnell ally Daniel Cameron, from naming a replacement. But that is a reason for McConnell to stay in the Senate, not one that requires him to stay on as its minority leader. The truth is that McConnell is not so dramatically reduced in his capacity that he needs to step down as a senator. He shows far greater capacity than current Senate Democrats Dianne Feinstein or John Fetterman, nor does he have the health struggles of the likes of Thad Cochran or Johnny Isakson in their final years. But continuing on as minority leader headed into a critical election year is a different question entirely. https://thespectator.com/topic/mitch-mcconnell-resign-without-leaving-senate/ Yes. 1
ALF Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Biden was advised by a Dr that McConnell is recovering from a concussion and this happens. He should be ok in time.
