I swear Biden say "bestest" but his team had to try to clean it up. At the time I thought it was an unusually illiterate manner of speaking and perhaps indicative of mental decline. Who knows...
Biden unnerved Democrats with his answer to a question about how he'll feel if Trump is elected and the movement against democracy succeeds.
"I'll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the good as job as I know I can do, that's what this is about," Biden said. (Biden was initially heard to have said “goodest job” but his campaign clarified that he said “good as job.” The official ABC News transcript was also changed to say the same.)https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/tak...

Pretty sure we all heard 'goodest'. If it was something else it was not clear because of his tendency to slur his speech now.

Micro-focusing on the speech patterns of a man with a lifelong speech impediment is harmful distraction from the real danger to the US in the upcoming election.

I've made similar word transpositions all my adult life and do not know why. I believe what was in his head was the following because I do it too:
"I'll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the job as good as I know I can do, that's what this is about," Biden said.
One time long ago, at band camp, we were talking about the height of a boat's mast relative to the building adjacent to the dock and I said 'it's not four floories high." I was amused at my blending of floors and stories; 'floories'. (The boat had a jammed halyard/sheave and the brilliant owner, not wanting to pay the shipyard for crane time pondered heeling the boat to the building to access the jam.)
We can waste time getting hung up on every little mis-speak or we can focus on beating the Project 25's felon.

Make no mistake, I will vote for Biden if he is the final nominee. But I think, regardless of whatever his real situation is, the perception by the crucial voters (undecideds in states that matter for the electoral college vote) is that he is too old and may be on the decline.

...the crucial voters (undecideds in states that matter for the electoral college vote) is that he is too old and may be on the decline.
and I should add that many of those voters seem so out of touch with political reality that they just don't understand the threat that a Trump Presidency would represent for our democracy.
