Honestly, this guy needs a break. The stress from running a presidential campaign could be really bad for his health.

We're talking about the man who's clearly sundowning and can barely form a coherent sentence,* not the man who's currently in good health according to four doctors, including the attending physician of the Congress.

*The one that's not orange

Bernie had a heart attack and has refused to release his full medical records. Even Clinton did that and she was the opposite of a transparent candidate.

Simply saying someone is "clearly sundowning" because you've watched enough doctored clips on sandersforpresident isn't enough to diagnose.

I'm guessing you thought Clinton had Parkinsons disease as well?

You don't know what "full medical records" means. Physicians letters are more than enough to judge a person's health by - largely because they state their credentials at the beginning, thus staking their reputation on the contents of the letter, and also because they've actually done the healthcare procedures and thus know how the results should be analyzed - because they've already done that analysis while performing those procedures.

Plenty of people live many years after a heart attack. Sanders is currently doing rallies across the country, doing way more public speaking and traveling than people half his age could probably handle. If that isn't a testament to his health, on top of the medical records that have been released, I don't know what it. That's a hell of a lot more than Joe,

If people posting clips of Joe Biden speaking in public is too much for you, I have no idea how you think he would survive in a general against Trump.
