Fifty-nine percent of Republican voters would prefer a president under the age of 75, according to a YouGov poll.
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.
Short of a major heart attack, Trump isn’t giving up one iota of power. Really helps to draw a contrast between the parties, where one guy is willing to step down and the other is prepared to crash the plane with us all in it.
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.
So, now they want to change the ballot after they had their convention and picked their nominee? 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?
This really just shows the flaw in surveys like this. There is someone running who is younger, and they aren't going to vote for her. They wish TRUMP was younger.
lol. they only like their strong man until he looks weak, which most old men do. in my perfect world, Kamala slaps him during a debate after he makes some dumb sexist remark. seeing him get bitch slapped by a woman would destroy his american tough guy image and guarantee his defeat.
Well of course most people would want the candidate to be younger. I'm sure even the candidates wish they were younger. (I wouldn't mind being younger myself.) That's not the same thing as preferring to replace the current candidate with a different, young candidate.
I'm sure he was but I I'm willing to explore the possibility that he knew he was going to step down but held back until the RNC. I'd be shocked if that was accidentally strategic
