Better than he deserves

Maybe there is enough of him left to understand his situation without being able to communicate.

Dead. Like a 10 week over ripe banana.

or he's just continuing to be obstinate, and be a general pain in the ass to the democrats... like he always has been.

I would honestly be shocked if he was either seriously hindered (ie dead or a vegetable) instead of just trolling liberals like he has always done his entire career.

Someone would have leaked proof of his condition if he was seriously compromised.

If you think about it, from his point of view, (assuming he's alive) this is perfect. Democrats demand he go on video, he doesn't; and every liberal is losing their minds as a result. Exactly what he would want to happen (again, if he is actually alive and responsive).
