As someone who had to sit through a seemingly unending stream of videos of Biden sniffing hair etc, none of which were as damning as the people boosting them claimed, I really hope they either don't release this, or it actually is what it claims to be, not some similar crap.
"Donald Trump loses his balance and accidentally makes contact with a girl's butt" or similar ambiguous clip is probably not going to do anything except make me have to start ignoring videos of Biden sniffing hair again when magas start posting them in retaliation or whatever.
Same with "Trump speaks slowly and closes his eyes for a couple seconds" being paraded around as him being 'exhausted' or even 'sundowning'.
None of it could possibly sway voters, it's just to make the voting base feel good about their choice of support.
"Closes his eyes for a couple seconds"? Yeah, Trump spending a half hour of his rally walking the stage aimlessly to music was probably just his whimsical side, not a sign that his mind is anything less than razor-sharp. Libs these days will exaggerate ANYTHING!
Even if he was dead on his feet, how does that change anything? The only people who care about the optics of it are libs who already find him gross and disturbed... It makes dems feel better about their candidate's chances ("look, he's tired and on the ropes, give him the haymaker!"). If anything, him being a tired sleepy old man undercuts their message that he's a vindictive and dangerous fascist who's losing touch with reality. It wouldn't surprise me if his change in demeanor is an intentional choice to make him look more chill and reasonable.
You hear how republicans reacted to that town hall? They fucking loved it, they talk about it like it was a birthright trip or something.
Yes I agree it won't change anything. Everybody is pretty much decided at this point, and the whole neck-and-neck race thing is basically clickbait for ads.
