My point has nothing to do with left or right. It has to do with how dumb it is to think it would be a good idea for Biden to publicly take a cognitive test. It could only work against him, so why would he do it?

I respectfully disagree. If you use a very standard, widely accepted test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment that tests basic functions. It's a 10 minute test. I am sure Biden could pass it, he isn't a drooling idiot. He is functional and alert. My previous posts have always indicated that the Republicans and the extreme MAGA's have always had Biden as a drooling idiot. Frankly I think he has had a lot of issues but his health and his mind have sort of exceeded expectations in some ways. The risk is on a go forward basis and some of the evidence since then has shown that risk to be escalating and more openly discussed amongst Democrats or Biden/undecided voters.
I get why they didn't want to test but still, it's going to be a point of attack without a doubt. You have an opportunity to counter an attack and then you don't. It's a decision and a bet that will either pay off or it won't.
It's X's and O's on the political side and every side makes their decisions. Perhaps Trump takes the test again, fails quietly (possible) or passes and then loudly brags how competent he is mentally (he is not) and then pushes Biden to either capitulate or look like he is hiding dementia. If anything, that may actually be what happens here soon.
