Deer in the headlight moments:
Mitch publicly faltered numerous times after that first stalled speech and had to be led off by aides. This would be completely unacceptable and panic-inducing in a presidential appearance.

Mitch’s father did not have dementia.

Mitch doesn’t have a notoriously lousy diet.

Mitch has a supportive spouse, not one he has to pay to be seen with him.

And finally, I have not had one moment of feeling like trump would actually be president for more than a month, if that. I cannot and will not watch coverage because it is a giant waste of time. Nothing going on now has any relevance to what is actually going to happen.

The feelings about his ill health started up after his trial.

As far as how he looks, he is a walking dead man.
