“Why would you run for office if you’re mentally ill?”

Like dementia sometimes you know sometimes you don’t.

They are trying to paint “mental illness” as something just like any other disease or condition. Like it’s not way more of a problem for an office holder/decision maker.

“Oh he’s schizo but he takes his meds” is one I hear a lot. I don’t care. I sympathize for schizos, manic depressives, paranoiacs, bipolars, etc - bit don’t want them holding office.

He may have abused someone who was going to talk.

Abusing women (or anyone) generally doesn’t stop a Dem from running nor give their base a moment’s pause to doubt. Musta been losing pretty bad already!

...cited declining mental health

If he's conceding that, imagine how bad the real reason is.
