Dems are pretty terrible at messaging and campaigning, and tbf Trump isn't better at putting together coherent thoughts than Biden, it's just that his baseline vocabulary and intellectual depth is so limited, it makes it much harder to spot a cognitive decline.

well also he speaks at a 5th grade level or lower; which would be bad if you wanted a smart candidate, but good for talking to voters

I really encourage you to read a transcript of his, it is surprising just how hollow or downright incoherent it all is once you remove the spectacle of it.

I mean I don't need to read that to know he's incoherent lol we all know that... but if you listen to the average person talking, they can be quite incoherent and tangential too

I swear to god if a democrat gets elected in 2028 and does everything right to improve the situation, the voters somehow would turn around and complain that they didn't fix it fast enough and deliver a Reagan level landslide to Barron Trump or Vance, just like they did precisely after Carter + Volcker.
