Yeah, why not have Democrat leaders talk to him? If Democrats lied that he was worse than he actually was, the truth would come out as soon as he left the hospital, and the liar would look really bad. Because they would have said things that hurt Mitch and his family.
But if Republicans lie that he’s better than he actually is, as they are likely doing, they can easily get away with it by saying that it was for his family or some shit.
Those things are all good ideas, and I have literally used all of those things for my mother, only to see that she will carry medicine around and then put it down mindlessly in strange places. One time, she even just held the medication in her mouth so long that a capsule dissolved in her mouth. Yes, she has dementia, but most of those things happened when her dementia was pretty mild.
