The last man jammed his three questions when Biden was finishing up. And that last question dealing with Biden's cognitive capacity was insulting. The jerk had just listened to a prepared speech and a followup Q&A. There's no reason, Joe Biden should need to defend his mental health unless you're deliberately trying to provoke something.
He didn't get an angry flash from Biden. Grace under fire, as they say. In fact, Biden said he couldn't wait to measure his own cognitive ability against that of Donald Trump. So, the gotcha question was thrown back with a nice spin.
Good job from Biden all around, an example of what an actual leader looks and sounds like.
