UPDATE: A fuller version of Biden's comments show the candidate was attempting to argue that infighting within the Democratic Party will result in the re-election of President Trump, but Biden had difficultly making his point after stumbling over his words.
Biden said, "... we cannot get re-elect, we cannot win this re-election -- excuse me. We can only re-elect Donald Trump if in fact we get engaged in this circular firing squad."
ORIGINAL STORY:
The current Democratic frontrunner fell and tripped repeatedly over his words as he stumbled through a campaign speech in Missouri on Saturday. The 77-year-old former vice president made a series of gaffes and incoherent statements as he appeared to lose his train of thought. At one point, he even mispronounced his own name.
"... We cannot get re-elect, we cannot win this re-election, excuse me. We can only re-elect Donald Trump," Biden said to his bewildered supporters. The candidate himself seemed caught off guard by his inability to keep his train of thought.
Biden doesn’t even know his own last name at this point.

At the same event, Biden referred to himself as an "Obiden Bama Democrat."

Many people have questioned Joe Biden's mental fitness as he campaigns for the highest political office in the country. In the past few weeks alone, the candidate declared repeatedly that he was running for the U.S. Senate, confused which state he was in, said there were 150 million gun deaths in America since 2007, called Super Tuesday "Super Thursday," and announced that he would have the ability as president to appoint the first African American woman to the United States Senate.
Of course, as president, Biden will not have the ability to appoint senators. And even if Biden did have that ability, he would not be able to appoint the first African American woman to the U.S. Senate since Carol Moseley Braun was elected in 1993.
Biden's team should prevent the candidate from going anywhere near a microphone, or a small child for that matter.
