    Given that there is a family history of Alzheimer's it would sense for the BLOTUS to be checked out for dementia even if only to rule it out.

    That said does "not guilty by reason of dementia" give the GOP Senate an excuse not to remove him from office?

    The problem with that option is that it opens the door to a 25th Amendment removal from office alternative.

    Not seeing a great deal of difference between being UNFIT for office by reason of incompetent criminal behavior and UNFIT for office by reason of dementia.

    Either way the end result is the same. Hopefully he does not have dementia so he ends up KNOWING why he is serving time for his crimes.

    You should have stated it as such. I rarely trust a post from the left, at face value. Had I said nothing, i doubt you would have.

    Considering that the democratic front-runner brags about kids who love to feel his leg hairs and can't remember which state he's in, or what year he was the VP, I'm gonna go with the devil we know and love.

    Meh!

    Sorry sometimes my sense of humour bites. It is interesting that you had to question it at all and a sign that so much outrageous behaviour can and is leading to “trump fatigue”

    But on a more serious note look at the recent behaviours displayed by Trump
    “I am the chosen one”


    And he said that right after this

    So? Does it not point to the fact that all candidates should be assessed for mental health?

    I get it ... anyone who doesn’t accept liberal ideology (income equalization, open borders, political correctness) must be demented.

    What's it like living in a world where you keep losing to a literal crazy demented guy, and he just keeps winning and winning, and you can't stop him?

    That's gotta suck.

    So you think they’re being more discreet in rigging the primaries against voters this time?

    Reagan had the advantage that when his dementia took hold Nancy stepped in and took control. Trump has no one to do that.

    We are seeking help...for Trump. Like Giuliani it's sad to watch someone go through this, especially when they are getting no help. Where are his friends and family? They don't even have to use the D word they could point at his slurring as maybe a blood sugar issue.

    It’s funny that some people say Trump's age is an issue but they deny age is a problem with Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

    And I don't see them focusing their amateur rocket surgeon brian diagnostics on Joe "Where am I? I want my pudding. Where are my slippers?" Biden.

    When has anyone mentioned age? Dementia is more predominately an older age illness can set in pretty early on. We're concerned that he is ill.

    I'll thank you not to insult my religion.
    But yes, I don't wish this on anyone and it's sad that rather than helping him now when it can be slowed. There is no reversing it but it can be slowed.

    Even though Trump is unfairly criticized on very frequent basis, I do see dementia in Trump. And it’s getting worse every month.
    It’s nice that he has much younger Pence as a VP.

    Ruth isn’t able to give us the same quality of work that someone half her age could.
