Shortly after the fracture made the news cycle, I heard a rumor that Biden broke his foot because he had a stroke. It’s just a rumor of course, but is there any wonder that it would circulate after a bizarre presidential campaign during which so few people showed up to his socially distanced rallies and his media appearances were sparse and tightly controlled?

Even under those circumstances Biden’s speech was slurred, he often appears lost, and he made too many ‘gaffes’, including forgetting the name of his former boss Barack Obama. Curiously, during one of his interviews the former vice president admitted that his cognitive ability is tested ‘constantly’.

It shouldn’t be surprising that according to a Zogby poll, 55 percent of likely voters believed Biden is in the early stages of dementia.
