He doesn't have a stutter. That idea was invented during the last campaign.
He has a decades-long career in Washington. There are many videos. If you can find one from before the last campaign in which he stutters or appears to search for a word, please give us the link.
For example, on YouTube you can find the speech in which he resigns from the 1987 presidential campaign, after he was caught plagiarizing a speech. He speaks at a normal speed, with no stutters, in an articulate manner.
He definitely has a stutter, it's just not nearly as bad as they've made it out to be. You're right about the 1987 speech. Hell, even in 2012 he was perfectly coherent. The decline has been rapid over the last 4 years in particular.
