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.

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.

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”.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Ah, gotcha.

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.

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?
