6. Biden had blamed jetlag and he had had a very heavy travel schedule, but yeah... he should

have recovered in that amount of time unless he did not sleep during his "prep" time at Camp David.

I had thought the travel to the fundraiser was within a day or two of the debate, but no. He wasn't traveling during that last week.

But seeing him during that debate, he did act as though he'd been drugged. I see both strokes and the effects of Ambien and similar drugs in the elderly all the time coming through the ER. He seemed drugged to me. TIAs are possible, but he seemed more continuously "out of it," until the very end when he seemed to improve. Both argue for drug effects or severe sleep deprivation.

BUT FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO CLAIM JILL BIDEN WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT RUSHING THE STAGE if she thought he'd had a stroke, as with all travel, Biden was accompanied by a WH physician who did not believe he/she was seeing signs of a stroke or at least not sufficient signs to pull him off the stage. It is protocol for ALL Presidents to travel at all times with a physician member of the WH staff. Biden confirmed after the debate that he had seen a physician (presumed immediately after or during travel afterwards back to the WH)
