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.

Trump gets triggered.

KillingTimeItself ,

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

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.

Snowclone ,

Yeah that ‘‘everyone is cheating me’’ attitude is gonna be great when they have to deal with it.

oxideseven ,

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

DontRedditMyLemmy ,

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.

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

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

nomous ,

2%

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.

Trump can step down and not run. Biden did it. It’s all the rage right now

bradorsomething ,

I’m not quite a lib, but I’d still feel owned if he did, does that count?

qjkxbmwvz ,

Trump (recently) received the nomination from his party, while Biden dropped out before the DNC. I could be wrong but I think it’s a little more problematic for him to drop out, although perhaps that’s just related to RNC self-imposed rules and not any actual laws.

NotMyOldRedditName ,

IMO doesn’t matter whether they can or can’t, they already attacked Biden for doing it as if he actually was nominated, so that fully puts them into hypocrite land if they do.

But oh wait, they don’t give a fuck about that.

KillingTimeItself ,

republicans will immediately engage in cognitive dissonance if it means they can make a funny haha argument for something

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

Fades ,

They had their (MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY) chance(s)

qjkxbmwvz ,

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).

Why younger? Why not someone smarter and, empathetic?

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Because Trump loves the poorly educated, has the best brain, and Ayn Rand said altruism is evil.

KillingTimeItself ,

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.
