https://democraticunderground.com/100213857028Joe is scared. Scared to debate (and is in fact being told NOT to debate), scared to take a cognitive test, scared to leave his house ...
He makes an absolutely stupid comment in this little snippet the DUmmies think is brilliant and I wonder if any of them will be brave enough to point it out.

Joe: "Why the hell would I take a (cognitive) test?"
(Video here that I'm not going to post)
WASHINGTON — Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden shrugged off a question Tuesday about taking a cognitive assessment test, which President Trump has challenged him to do...
In an exchange with CBS’s Errol Barnett during a wide-ranging, multi-moderator interview at a conference of Black and Latino journalists, Biden balked at Barnett’s question about whether Biden had even taken an exam.
“No, I haven’t taken a test. Why the hell would I take a test?” responded Biden, who then posed a rhetorical analogy.
“C’mon man,” he chided Barnett. “That’s like saying, ‘You — before you got on this program you took a test where you’re taking cocaine or not, what do you think? Huh? Are you a junkie?’”
Barnett followed up by asking Biden what he would say to Trump, “who brags about his test and makes your mental state an issue for voters?”
“Well, if he can’t figure out the difference between an elephant and a lion, I don’t know what the hell he’s talking about,” said Biden with a laugh. “Look, c’mon man, I know you’re trying to goad me, but I’m so ... looking [forward] to have an opportunity to sit or stand with the president on the debates.”

What?! LOL Why yes, I take drug tests. I take a LOT of drug tests. Some are 9 panel, some are 10 panel, some are hair follicle, some are breathalyzer. Every plant I send a crew into I have to go into as well. Those plants all require drug testing and they all want different tests. I get probably 9-15 tests per year. Not to mention the randoms my company pulls on me.
IF the DUmmies don't point this out, it's for one of two reasons. First, none of them have ever had a job so they don't know that a lot of places require those of us who provide rather than take, have to be tested to do the providing. The second reason is, they're scared. They're scared their guy isn't all the way there and it's showing in the very limited exposure his handlers are allowing.

4. Both of them take cognitive tests every day on TV. Trump fails, Biden aces it.
We don't need pictures of elephants to see that Trump is an ass.

5. CBS should first demand Trump release his taxes before asking Joe to take some bullshit
cognitive test. Like a field sobriety test administered by police during a traffic stop when a driver is visibly impaired, doctors only do a dementia screening when the patient is visibly confused.
You better call the doc! From some of the tiny snippets I've seen, Biden is in a bad way.

6. Good answer, but he should have also said,
"You have to wonder why his staff encouraged him to take a test that's regularly used to check for signs of dementia"
That's the whole thing for now. Wonder if it will grow ... If he doesn't take it, people are going to wonder, and there is no way he's going to be able to compare it to Trump not releasing his taxes.
