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.

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.

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).

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

Ya good luck extracting Trump from your party. I’ll be like trying to extract botfly larvae from under your scalp.

possible with right tools and the sooner the less damage it causes

frezik ,

It’s not. Trump will not let go. He’s a complete narcissist who is always the best at everything, everyone says so. Even with significant donor backlash–instrumental in forcing out Biden–he won’t give in.

Even though the GOP is full of tools, all of which are extremely right, I still don’t see a chance

RamblingPanda ,

I think he’s more like a tumor, with his rabid allies being metastasized all over the party.

Crazyslinkz ,

Didn’t he go all nepotism on the RNC and put in place family or friends and force out all of “the old guard”?

Yup. Lol

Yeah, dont. I just did and its rough. I mean I guess if you watch pimple popping videos you’ll be fine, but bleeeeggghhhhhh

The oldest and the orangest candidate ever - lots of people are saying it.

Thebeardedsinglemalt ,

This so what people are saying…what people are talking…look…Obama wasn’t a…if Obama was my age he would…sleepy Joe Biden would be rambling…not speaking in a coherent…oh boy biden…he has to be the worst…this is what people are saying…I’m probably the best orator out here today…the bestest because Obama Hussein and laffin kaMALA…sleepy Joe who stole the election…

crusa187 ,

💀 I think we can all agree, at least the best orator since Abraham Lincoln.

captainlezbian ,

I don’t think I’ve seen a weirder candidate myself. At least Johnson had the decency to grab his own genitals

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

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

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…

This is it

I bet half the respondents didn't realize Trump is over 75yrs

scytale ,

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.

Samvega ,

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”.

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.

blattrules ,

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.

“So, Nicki Haley?”

[suddenly all the Trumpets cast their vote for an over-75 primary presidential candidate]

It’s just empty hand-wringing.

It’s a good sign. They think Harris can win.

Vance of course.

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.

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!

_stranger_ ,

The way you phrased that reminded me of that old X Files episode where that little dude crawls inside the fat dude.

plz1 ,

Well that’s an image one can’t un-imagine…

Sounds like they need to vote for Kamala!

…they would prefer a president under the age of 75.

Thank you Captain Obvious!

ArbitraryValue ,

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.
