I did watch the debate, and as an educated human 1) I understand that aphasia after a stoke does not imply that the person has impaired cognition. He is able to read and write clearly and his issue lay speaking. His prognosis is good, and his recovery is ongoing, as evidenced by his greatly improved speaking during his victory speech. Should a person be disqualified from public office becasue they have a speech impediment? 2) Even if he did have some true cognitive decline, I (and many others) would still trust his ability to govern over those that are seeking to strip women's (and LGBTQIA+) rights, suppress voting rights, increase the income gap, and adhere to fascist principles.
