Republicans want someone younger than Donald Trump as president: new 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.

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).

How many of them changed their minds when they were told that DJT is, in fact, over the age of 75?

2%

Who are the absolute muppets that want an older than 75 president!? Here I am hoping for laws limiting it to like 60 max…

They know Trump’s age and they want him. Frankly, I’m surprised it’s not a lot higher.

Tough Republicans. Your Dictator doesn’t care what you want. Suck it.

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.

I bet Putin has a lot of videos of Trump getting beat by a black woman.

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.

A Ryker in the post feels like cheating.

I’m the Riker expert around here. Don’t argue with my Riker posting.

I can’t even spell the dude’s name right. Clearly no one should be listening to me.

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.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Isn’t preferring a younger president suggesting you want a younger candidate?

ArbitraryValue ,

Sorry, I rephrased my post a bit. What I meant is that there’s a difference between saying “it would be better if Trump were younger” and “Trump should be replaced by someone who is younger”.

RattlerSix ,

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

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

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.

teamevil ,

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

mightyfoolish ,

Guess we are also making fun of them when they say something normal… Wow, they said something normal!

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

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.

mightyfoolish ,

I was making fun of them too, just in a tounge-in-cheek way.

Ah, gotcha.
