In the election of 1972 George McGovern tapped Thomas Eagleton for his Veep. A few days later he was dropped from the ticket when it was found out he had been treated for nervous exhaustion and undergone brain shock treatments.
Fast forward to 2020:
“Back in 1988 former Vice President Biden had two aneurysms clipped in his brain using surgical techniques and he had a bleed. Studies show a 50% long-term cognitive problem. Now, what is cognition? It’s thinking, it’s memory, it’s decision-making. He’s also got atrial fibrillation… A Swiss study just showed a couple of years ago in thousands of patients but there is a 3% per year silent stroke where you can’t see it except for changes in thinking, Tucker, and 3% per year whether you’re on the blood thinners or not,” Dr. Siegel began.
This is serious stuff. Do you really want a guy with these brain problems carrying the nuclear football?
I don't believe this has been an issue in the media to date. I wonder why.
