   There are a growing number of calls for Biden to pull out of the presidential race, including some Papers of Record, and some Very Important People.
   Will Bunch has things to say about that.

   "Our democracy is much more frail than Biden."

     The spotlight is now on Biden's mental ability.
     What about Trump's?
     In an interview with Dr. John Gartner, who was professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Medical Center for 28 years:

     "I asked Gartner whether he perceived any difference between the cognitive ability of Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Absolutely, he replied. “It’s like comparing apples and rotten oranges.”

     There’s a huge difference between the two, he said. “Biden is aging. Trump is dementing.” "

     Cognitive ability isn't even the biggest problem. Biden could be literally dead, and he still would be preferable. Corpses don't take away people's health care, crash the economy with extreme tariffs, or any of the rest of the frightening things Trump says he'll do with the absolute power we're about to give him.

     And how come only the Democrat is expected to walk on water? Where the hell are the standards of behavior and competence for Republicans?
