(37,897 posts)Biden has released a three-page letter from a doctor. That's all, that's it, nothing more:

Bernie released three pages of physician letters, as documented by DanTex.
Your issue seems to be that Bernie needs to provide more medical reports because of his heart attack when he has already provided at least as much as Biden.
Bernie proves every day that he is in good health with the relentless pace he keeps. He speaks at rallies with thousands and thousands of people--recently over 13,000 in Washington. The pace at which Bernie campaigns puts any other candidate to shame. If (and this is a big if) they could get the numbers of people to show up like Bernie does, it's doubtful they could match his pace.
Here are Biden's campaign events:

There's no comparison. Biden's leisurely campaign events cannot equal Bernie's strenuous schedule. You want an extended report testifying to Bernie's physical health? Bernie proves his health and stamina every single day of this campaign.
Biden's medical report is incomplete and I want to see a complete cognitive workup by a neuropsychologist and a psychiatrist. The man literally does not even know where he's at: there was the embarrassing incident last summer when he thought he was in Vermont and he was in New Hampshire. Here's what he said:
He was in Keene, NH: "I love this place. Look, whats not to like about Vermont in terms of the beauty of it? And what a neat town...everybody has been really friendly. I like Keene a lot."
Even worse, the previous week he mixed up Burlington, VT and Burlington, IA.
The list of Biden's mental confusion and brain freeze-ups could go on for pages. I want to see medical reports clarifying just what his problem is.
So to summarize:
--Bernie and Biden have released the same amount in terms of a medical report
--Bernie proves every day that he has good health and stamina by executing an intensive campaign schedule while Biden ambles to an event here and there, usually with a fraction of the people that Bernie deals with.
--Biden shows us on a regular basis that there is something wrong with his cognitive abilities. It is, therefore, Biden who needs to show supplemental medical reports.
