AD is not a sudden onset disease, but 5 years is a long enough time to go from functional to disease state.
Also diagnosis of AD is very fuzzy and still hard to define (although, we have made great advancements). You're actually never sure until death and post-mortum analysis of the brain can verify.
I know all that (my mom had dementia for 10 years and I was her caregiver) and he was functional during his presidency. Much more functional than any number of other presidents I can list!
I used to say "there's something wrong with that man" in reference to Obama. I do realize that this is because we saw problems and solutions differently. You'll be questioning the same as I questioned Obama's sanity but it's because you see things different.
It's really as simple as that.
This isn't political.
I really have no problem with conservative political ideologies. I'm speaking of pure conservatism, mind you.
I'm not sure what Obama has to do with any of that. You didn't like his politics, but if you saw him and thought he'd taken leave of his senses, you were really stretching.

I hope those that are pushing for Nancy Pelosi to stay in office read this thread. Same for those hoping to see Biden, Sanders, Clinton, or Warren run. Unfortunately getting old sucks.
I don't think any of them should run for POTUS.
I see no issue with them running for lesser offices if they desire, as long as they seem to have their wits about them.

I do know and have experienced people who are Narcissist and it describes the personality disorder of the left well... including Hillary. Colleges are rampant with narcissists. The big one for narcissist personalities is the use of threats of violence or actually violence in an attempt to gain control. More narcissist personalities traits below...
- An exaggerated sense of self-importance,
- Expecting unquestioning compliance with your expectations,
- Inability to admit fault.
- Having a sense of entitlement,
- Envious of others,
- Believing that you are superior,
- Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner,
- An inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others if they don't comply with what you want.
This thread is not about Clinton or "the left."
Let's take the bolded.
Do you not see that Trump displays ALL of these?

*shrug* I dunno about anybody else here, but after the whole rant he went on Twitter about a 'good shutdown', I wrote both my Senators and my Congressman to ask them to request an investigation as to Trump's mental health. The man is quite bluntly, unhinged.
Yep. I'm telling you in all seriousness that this guy isn't competent enough to hold that office. It's waaaaay over his head.
Folks will think I'm only saying that because I have little use for Republicans, but this isn't political or partisan for me...I'm talking about it from a purely objective human standpoint. He's nuts.
I see no issue with them running for lesser offices if they desire, as long as they seem to have their wits about them.
Well yeah but we weren't talking about lesser offices. These are people that have been widely discussed as potential POTUS candidates, excluding Pelosi. But I'd argue that in her current state Pelosi, or anyone in a similar state shouldn't be allowed to represent anyone at any level.

Yeah, I was mostly agreeing with you. But adding additional context. Sorry to hear about your mother - that's hard on everyone, I know from experience.
