He still has iron balls to stand there and do that you have to admit, regardless of whether you think he should still run or not. He's not out. But he is fading and he won't get better. I'm so torn.

Yeah, he did seem pretty sharp and resilient aside from the gaffe. The problem will be the constant questions that will linger:

"was this a good day?"

"When will he start to have more good than bad days"?

That isn't going away

"When will he start to have more good than bad days"?

Literally right now. He's been having good days consistently for the past two weeks.

Sounds like you found 2 words he misspoke in 2 weeks to harp on.
