When Biden says that the moon is part of Mars, I will question his mental capacity. Hilary isn't running for political office, so who cares if she is loony tunes right now.
It may be time to start a “Bullshit Joe Biden says!” thread.
There is a lot of bullshit in what all politicians say. Joe is trying to sell himself as the return to normalcy candidate who can work with both sides. Sure, you and I know there is only so much you can work on with the current congressional Pubs. But yet another poll today (by Quinnipiac) shows Biden in the lead for the Dem nomination and beating Trump by double digits and everyone else in single digits. Maybe this is partly due to people buying Joe's bullshit, or maybe it's just because independent and establishment Pub folks are more comfortable with him than the other Dem aspirants. But as long as those numbers hold, he doesn't have to say anything of substance and probably shouldn't. Just smile and try to be everything to everybody. Right now it's working, and we'll see if it continues to work.

The big problem here is that it is an empty promise. Joe will win the presidency in 2020, sure, maybe even overwhelmingly. But voters will get pissed that all his efforts to return to normalcy and accomplish anything at all will fail, the pubs will nominate some one just as bad or worse than Trump in 2024, Dems will be very unenthusiastic about voting for an ineffective 83 year old and won't show up...Crazy Pub-man will and nothing will actually get fixed. The premise that our political norms and institutions were eroded the day Trump took office is erroneous. Congress has been broken since at least the mid 90's... Mitch McConnell is an evil mother fucker... One presidential election can't undo decades of dysfunction, if Obama showed us anything, it's that. The country needs a strong fearless leader not a strong and fearless compromiser.
What ever you do, don’t question his mental health or fitness for office.

What about the past two years or even his entire professional career leads anyone to think that Trump will leave office if he loses? I dread the chaos he is certain to unleash between the election and inauguration.

He'll leave when he realizes he'll get to play golf 7 days a week while still getting invited to call into Fox News whenever he wants.
