    So, I have the stutter that Biden supposedly has (although calling it a stutter is a bit of an incorrect description - the stutter is a symptom), and while coping strategies for word access and speech issues does absolutely require learning a lot of synonyms and how to adapt to your inability to say what you want by following a different sentence structure after the process of speaking has let you down, it does not in any way make you smart. It just gives you a slightly better chance to say what you want to say, instead of whatever your stupid brain-mouth translation process decides you get to say instead.

        Yes, but I also think that it has gotten worse as a function of general cognitive decline. It would be entirely reasonable for that to happen, if only by limiting his ability to on-the-fly adjust his speech to account for the brain-mouth disconnect. In a sense, in being correct regarding the most proximate question (is Joe Biden misspeaking a product of a word-access and speech impediment?) but incorrect with its relevance to the question of mental decline, libs are doing what they always do and ignoring anything but immediate phenomena.
