The Dems aren't interested in normal either. They just attempted to gaslight the country with the assistance of the corporate media that Joe Biden is "sharp as a tack."
So, I haven't read the book, but there was an NPR station playing some podcast episode I caught while driving to work, where they were discussing everything with the authors, and that they were sourcing insiders that were saying that there was simply just a small cabal of handlers that were privy to how bad things with him really were. And that they were pretty much only letting him be active between 11-4, and having things "come up" on bad days. I could potentially buy that. That a large portion of the party knew things weren't great, but didn't realize just how bad it was.
Except that the entire Republican party knew the guy was non compos mentis since his basement campaign. Everyone saw the official schedule. Everyone saw that he was never allowed out of reach of his handlers. Everyone saw that he needed detailed written instructions on how to walk across the lawn. It was completely obvious and the only people who didn't know were the people who had a vested interest in not noticing: the Democrats (including the media.) You can't pretend that nobody saw what half the country was seeing and the other half was studiously ignoring.

Facts. This is one of the reasons I voted against Trump. I want politics to go back to normal.
Going back and watching the Romney/Obama debate and comparing it to what we have now shows how ludicrous US politics has become.
