I can think of another possibility. A third aneurysm during the campaign. Remember how he disappeared from sight for a while? And the weird commercial where his wife spoke for him while he stood silently by? Yet by the time of the last debate, he performed well enough (far differently than earlier incidents) and still does at times. While dementia patients can have lucid times, they can't do it on cue, as for a debate or speech. I think it's likely that his handlers hid an aneurysm. And yes, he could also have some encroaching dementia as well.

Good points. By now, however, I could believe someone could be rushed to the hospital and we wouldn't necessarily know. Ruptures aren't always fatal and can cause memory loss too. So I'd say either is still a possibility.
