It took a long time before people learned how damaging it was.

My guess is those closest to him on his team really believed he would continue to recover to end up where he had been. It can happen and the degree of recovery takes a lot of time to know.

Early voting had already happened. People voting election day voted without knowing how bad the stroke was. I sympathize with his team at that point. As it was not clear how full his recovery would be, it would have felt like betraying him when he was down to suggest that he stand down at that point and there probably was little chance he would have done so.
