In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.
I guess they’re rounding up on a couple of those because 59+40+2=101.
Anyway… they had younger people running against him and he won. He’s their guy and they can all go to hell with him
Exactly. They are only saying this now because Biden dropped out.
And yes, I am guessing it was a rounding error. There’s always a margin of error on these things after all.
Sounds like they need to vote for Kamala!
Trump gets triggered.
oh no, if they get rid of trump, and replace him with someone else that would be a subversion of democracy!!!
Totally ending democracy. Which is bad. Trump said HE would end Democracy, which is good. But the Democrats sound like Democracy. which is bad, but “ending Democracy” is a way you can attack democrats, which is good. But Trump said he would be ending democracy, which is good. But we can eat ice cream, which is good, but we’re out and only have frozen yogurt, which is bad, but we have crushed up cookies and sprinkles, which is good. But the cookies have arsenic in them. Which is bad. But they are sugar free, which is bad, unless you have diabetes, which is also bad, you don’t have diabetes, which is good, but you have PRE diabetes, which is bad, but you can get out of work for extra doctors visits, which is good, but you have to pay the co-pay. Which is bad. But your wallet is old leather and smells like your grandpa, which is good. But your grandpa died 14 years ago, which is bittersweet, and a touch melancholy.
I LIKE ice cream
I like turtles
im not reading all that, good for you, or bad, idk
You’re missing out on some giggles, friend. Well, it made me giggle reading it out loud.
lazy satire is generally not very funny. Mostly because politics has already satirized itself, and is inherently funny.
Speaking in the first person is better than generalizing, but ok.
unsure where we started generalizing, the generalization already happened, and you missed out on that meeting unfortunately.
Really? Where? Let’s not start with the passive-aggressive tones. I’d ask what rubbed you off the wrong way but I’d rather we stop if we’re going down that path.
Tough Republicans. Your Dictator doesn’t care what you want. Suck it.
Nope, should’ve thought about that before getting in bed with him. Now they have to carry him to term.
These republicans want to get rid of candidates up to and after the 11th month!
/s
The way you phrased that reminded me of that old X Files episode where that little dude crawls inside the fat dude.
Well that’s an image one can’t un-imagine…
dudes not going to take a hint
They had their (MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY) chance(s)
Yeah, they had a proper primary unlike the Dems with the incumbent situation. No one to blame but themselves here.
My sympathy for the Republican party is immeasurable (as in, too small to measure).
I think they see how dropping Biden has significantly benefited the Democrats and hope the same would happen for then if they dropped Trump.
The problem for them with that is that Trump will never willingly step down. Unlike Biden he’s in it for himself and has everything to lose its he doesn’t win. This would also be guaranteed to result in crippling infighting in the party and with Trump trying to go independent.
The Republican party is f’ed. That’s what you get for selecting a selfish lunatic to lead it.
It would indeed be better for the GOP if Trump stepped down, but of course the GOP decided that they ARE Trump, so they’re stuck with him for the rest of his life.
Do they have an actual platform this time or is it still “whatever Trump says we’ll follow”?
Well, if they got rid of him, it would probably change to “the same, but with a different god emperor.”
It’s only f’ed if they lose (and don’t steal the election). So get out to vote everyone.
We absolutely need to vote, but I’m worried that some of these R swing states are going to pull some serious shit and just deny certifying the results.
We’re going to hear a whole bunch about “immigrants voting illegaly” and “ballot stuffing” or the good ol’ “the numbers (that we won’t provide) don’t match up! Dead people are voting!”
they tried to pull alternate electorates in the 2020 election, and it didn’t work.
If they’re swing state, they probably won’t i think. Because there would likely be some kind of massive poltiical uprising in response to blatantly overthrowing electorates like that. It would likely be deeply unpopular.
it’s a concern, for sure, but unless they try to pull some real bullshit, i don’t think it’s a massive concern.
This also doesn’t even discount proposing fraudulent votes, which im not sure would matter from a legal perspective, but if you’re just, lying about votes that you’re submitting, i wouldn’t be surprised if that was not exactly, clean.
The other problem is their convention is over. But I suppose they do have until August 7th to make the Ohio ballot with someone else. Good luck with that, guys.
if the Ohio republicans accidentally eat their own faces with their bullshit august 7 deadline, i might start believing in America again
Why younger? Why not someone smarte and, empathetic?
Because Trump loves the poorly educated, has the best brain, and Ayn Rand said altruism is evil.
because old is generally not where smart and empathetic comes from.
Also you start to get into the area of cognitive and physical decline to the point where you start falling over if you aren’t careful, or just cant really think as well anymore.
Usually someone that encompasses the traits you propose is going to be younger, 60’s probably.
Guess we are also making fun of them when they say something normal… Wow, they said something normal!
It would have been normal if they had thought that during the primaries and backed any of the people younger than Trump in significant numbers.
But they only feel this way after Biden dropped out.
So yeah, we’re making fun of them.
I was making fun of them too, just in a tounge-in-cheek way.
Ah, gotcha.
You know who would be a President under 75?
i’d like to point out that she is 21 years older than stephen miller and stephen miller looks like this
nightmare fuel
That’s the shit thing about being pure evil. You age prematurely but live for fucking ever.
see: Mitch McConnell
“No not like that”
-Republicans
Even if she serves 2 terms, she’d be younger at the end than Trump was when he started his first one!
I wish 60 years old didn’t seem so young.
She is 59, you misinformation spreading tankie.😡
She do look good for 59. Maybe I’m just getting old and old is looking younger, but if someone told me she was late 30s-mid 40s I would’ve believed it.
She is black, and I’m told it don’t crack
There’s a pretty good chance that US politics portraits are taken by well funded and skilled photographer(s)
I’m back. Ok, yeah. Not 30s but I wouldn’t think someone was lying to me if they said 40s and that’s still pretty good.
Hmm. I’m sure there’s a phone video out there. BRB.
smells like someone forgot the /s
It’s going to be hillarious to see them trying to get rid of him.
There is not enough popcorn on this continent for that.Yeah that ‘‘everyone is cheating me’’ attitude is gonna be great when they have to deal with it.
They know perfectly well that they have nothing left without him.
