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.

Who are the absolute muppets that want an older than 75 president!? Here I am hoping for laws limiting it to like 60 max…
There’s always a percentage who choose to troll the pollsters.
They know Trump’s age and they want him. Frankly, I’m surprised it’s not a lot higher.

If you do not qualify for long term care insurance, maybe sit the presidency out.
You know who would be a President under 75?
“No not like that”
-Republicans
i’d like to point out that she is 21 years older than stephen miller and stephen miller looks like this

That’s the shit thing about being pure evil. You age prematurely but live for fucking ever.

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
Even if she serves 2 terms, she’d be younger at the end than Trump was when he started his first one!
Isn’t this consistent with when it was Trump/Biden? I seem to remember both sides saying they wanted a younger candidate.
Or it could be they think Trump is younger than he actually is…
The latter wouldn’t shock me, but I don’t remember anything but the majority of Republicans saying they wanted anyone but Trump. I admit I don’t have the world’s best memory, so feel free anyone to show me wrong here.
This is it
I bet half the respondents didn’t realize Trump is over 75yrs
According to his nft’s he looks to be in the early 40s, with a body like a greek god.
I imagine it’s like those people Jordan Klepper interviews at Trump rallies that go like this:
Jordan: Do you think a candidate who’s almost 80 is too old?
Person: Yeah.
J: …and Trump is 78.
Person: Yeah.
J: So he’s too old and someone younger would be better.
Person: For sure.
J: So who do you want for president?
Person: I’m voting Trump.
Jordan: Do you think that a sentient pile of goo trained in a laboratory to hate all human life and subject it to fiery nuclear death is a good candidate?
Person: No.
J: Trump is actually a robot inhabited by that goo. Here is clear, simple, factual and verifiable evidence. Here are multiple videos and sources confirming that Trump wants to kill us all.
Person: Yeah.
J: So, Trump is a bad candidate who will murder your children.
Person: Yep.
J: Who are you voting for?
Person: Trump, he’ll go after the alphabet mafia first. And, to be honest, he’s just saying he’ll kill everyone to be edgy and noticeable.

A reason why some German Jews supported Hitler was that they thought that his anti-Semitism was only for “stirring up the masses”.
I’m voting for Shrieking White-Hot Sphere of Pure Rage!
They definitely have not looked up how old he is, so I’m going with the latter and they thought this was a dig at Biden.

Isn’t this what republicans were screaming was illegal for the dems to do? Except that the dems hadn’t picked their nominee officially yet?
How many of them changed their minds when they were told that DJT is, in fact, over the age of 75?
2%
Donald Trump Jr. - solved.
Somewhere, a finger on a monkey’s paw curls.
Upvoted for Riker meme.
Sorry repubs… you’re going to have to carry this non-viable fetus to term…
If the Dems get a reroll, I don’t see why the Repubs wouldn’t be allowed one, too.
Excited to see JD Vance at the top of the ticket. That should be fun.
Because Dems only just now voted and elected Harris. At this point, they are also locked in. Repubs already felated, I mean elected, Cheeto…

I’m not sure what election you participated in, but my ballot listed Joe Biden at the top of the ticket.

Nothing forces Trump to be president. He can quit any time he wants.
I’m not sure what election you participated in, but my ballot listed Joe Biden at the top of the ticket.
So this is an opportunity for you to learn how it really works. Harris was just officially voted to be the Dem candidate and that will be official on Monday.

Oh, he could abort himself, but you know that’s never going to happen. The party is stuck with the weirdo until the election, otherwise.
Harris was just officially voted to be the Dem candidate
By whom? Which voter cast a ballot for Harris? Which state did she win?
You need to learn how the process works… you’re being intentionally ignorant which is a form of stupidity.
You need to learn how the process works…
-
The process selects a candidate
-
The party ejects the candidate in place of a younger, more popular secondary
Me: “Republicans should do this, too”
Lemmy: ten zillion downvotes
Haters gonna hate.

They can still have a spontaneous abortion. All they need is for old Donny boy to step down or otherwise become incapacitated
He’s not going to step down, so it will have to be incapacitation which I fully support.
I don’t. He needs to lose and spend the rest of his life in prison, along with most of his children.
repubs had like 10 chances to jettison trump between dropping him from the party, washing their hands of him, supporting the investigations, and voting to impeach… and they rejected all of them to stand by him
Because they actively participated in the deification of Trump among their base, so they know that taking Trump off the ballot would split the party (possibly irreparably).
… would split the party (possibly irreparably)
Especially since it’s a near certainty that Trump would just continue his presidential bid (as a write-in independent if need be).
They already had their convention in July. That’s why they shit themselves throwing a temper tantrum when the Dems switched, having made an assumption that the Dems wouldn’t just not nominate a sitting President.
They already had their convention in July.
Where they made their VP announcement, clearly without an iota of audience testing.
But nothing really stops Trump from withdrawing and ceding the nomination to his VP. Or dying, for that matter.

I suspect that’s more just because Biden would have been easier to beat and they’re sore over not being able to coast to victory.
But nothing really stops Trump from withdrawing and ceding the nomination to his VP. Or dying, for that matter.
Besides his crippling narcissism
I was going to suggest that they could just make Vance the candidate. I’m sure that will work out well for them.
The Democrats still haven’t had their convention so they still can make whatever chabge they want. If Trump withdraws, the Republican party as a whole would be withdrawing because they already had their convention and chose their representative. Another Democrat can run against Kamala up until the convention, but once the Democratic party chooses their representative, they would also be locked in.
The DNC and RNC aren’t legally bound by the rules they made for themselves. There have been lawsuits in the last 8 years that have established that. They can both do what ever the fuck they want as long as they don’t piss off the really big donors.
Dems changed to Harris before actually nominating Biden.
Trump is already nominated. Changing at this point would be a much bigger problem for either side.
Even if they somehow did who would take his place? Vance has been very unpopular so far, and they’ve already had a full primary this cycle; we already know they don’t have anyone better than Trump.
Also it would make them hypocrites, not that they care.
A nomination does not mean that the republican party needs to back Trump. They could have simply chose someone else or even remove him from their ticket. It’s all in their control.
A primary is merely to check and see which way the political wind is blowing before the election. And nominations are not written in stone.
Dems changed to Harris before actually nominating Biden.
Show me the election where Harris was at the top of the ballot.
Sooooo… what’s your point?
Trump’s free to drop out and let Vance run for Prez
Almost a fair point; dems may not have rallied around Harris under other circumstances. But she’s only formally run one other time and that was four years ago and against a former VP (Biden). Not quite the same situation today.
Also the line you quoted doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the point you’re trying to make.
They’re allowed, but he needs convinced to step down.
…they would prefer a president under the age of 75.
Thank you Captain Obvious!
Okay, but who’s in the 2% that want a president older than 75?!
Republicans that realized trump was over 75? Otherwise who the fuck knows. 😆
Really old people?
Well, I guess there’s always Lauren Boebert or Margery Taylor Greene, you know, if they want to stick with bat shit crazy.
“So, Nicki Haley?”
[suddenly all the Trumpets cast their vote for an over-75 primary presidential candidate]
It’s just empty hand-wringing.
As a band kid, I respectfully request that you do not use my musical instrument of choice to refur to racist conservatives who want to end democracy.
Thank you for your understanding
It’s a good sign. They think Harris can win.
Vance of course.
I’ma never Trump guy… lol
That song is stuck in my head.
Tulsi Gabbard would have my vote
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
this kid is like 50 yrs old now
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.
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).
