    Even before he took office -- even before he announced he would run for president as a far better choice than Donald Trump  -- Joe Biden was cast by his political critics as an oldager fading fast and unfit for the nation's highest office. He won't be his own man, they said. Showing of dementia and memory loss, he's often confused, forgetful and temperamental, they say, even going so far as to
    suggest that a coterie of political actors decide Biden's priorities and agenda, and then let Biden appear at show time to sell new ideas and programs that Biden and the Democrats want people to support.
    The idea is to hammar at Biden's age and his supposedly feeble mind, and to warn voters they would be making a terrible mistake to re-elect him.
    This is old-fashioned dirty politics -- using any strategy, no matter how base, that helps knock down an opponent.
     
    Just the same, is the matter of Biden's mental health a  legitimate issue? What do you think?
